Ever since Joe Biden dropped out of the race, prominent Republicans have been relentlessly calling for him to resign. They argue that if Biden is unfit to run, he is also unfit to serve. It is hard to argue with that. But getting Biden to resign would essentially be the equivalent of throwing Brer Rabbit into the briar patch. Elevating Kamala Harris to the presidency is not going to help Republicans win in November. In fact, it would almost certainly help Harris and the Democrats.
Let me try to explain.
First of all, history has shown us that “incumbent presidents” always receive a noticeable boost compared to other candidates.
Right now, Kamala Harris is not an “incumbent president”, but if she is elevated to the presidency she will be.
Secondly, if Kamala Harris even serves for a couple of months in the White House, it will give her an opportunity to show the American people that she can do the job.
As long as she doesn’t mess up too badly, that could calm the fears that many have about her ability to fill the role.
Thirdly, the moment that she is sworn in she will become “the first woman president”, and that will be greatly celebrated by the mainstream media and will generate a tremendous wave of enthusiasm for her campaign.
So even if many Republicans were not calling for Joe Biden to step down, I think that this is what the Democrats were planning anyway.
Poster Comment:
President Harris has 4 problems on the horizon. 1) DNC convention. Angry Muslims over Gaza Genocide. Blacks figured out that Dems want to replace Blacks in Chicago with Venezuelans. 2) The Ukraine Arny will collapse before November. This will not be pretty. 3) Mideast war could blow sky high. Houthis could embarass the US and run our Navy out of the Red Sea. 4) That Border could get worse. What is her plan other than to legalize 50 million illegal aliens?
