Because we’re about to see the group machine use hundreds of millions of dollars to do the really unthinkable, make the case for Kamala Harris as president, this week is certain to be the most exciting week in the background of Democrat national politics.
Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he is no more interested in running for president as he approaches the end of his term and that he supports Vice President Kamala Harris for the position. He did n’t give her any endorsements to help her win the spot. He chose to do it because he now knew that she had secured it. We’ve been waiting on Barack Obama, Kamala’s lineage nature as a dark man of sorts, since the Clintons have likewise endorsed her.
She will be the Democrat nomination. At the party’s convention in the coming month, there wo n’t be any competition. And in November, Harris did drop easily.
Unless…
Let’s not hold back for a minute that this is a legitimate or good campaign for the most effective office on earth. After everything Democrats did to Donald Trump, including creating a harsh environment that precipitated his intended assassination, they simply side-swiped the former president, who had received the necessary major votes for reelection, a development that campaign activists have long considered political suicide. That would have been said by actually dummies like Rick Wilson and Stuart Stevens.
So they now have Kamala, a candidate who was turned down by Democrats in the 2020 election because she dropped out of the party’s national primary before the first battle, and a vice president who has the reputation for being the least-liked person in that position. She never really understood what was and how she was unburdened.
Oh, boy, does that puzzling saying she loves to replicate take on a new significance.
In no way does the Harris plan attempt to distance itself from Biden’s dismal record. She accepted everything and became his evil president. She defended everything. There’s no fresh stone to be had, and because craven as Democrats are, they’re not going to assume it is.
She may hug the government’s history, as first lady Jill Biden, WebMD, about certainly ensured Harris do. Then Kamala will perform a predictably awkward dance about how it’s both great and imperfect but superior to Donald Trump, the greatest threat to democracy, in its entirety.
There’s no constituency for it. The party switched a corpse for a living human, but that’s the extent of it, and it will ultimately cost Democrats more — minus extensive foul play or, more likely, an attempted assassination that this time hits the mark.
The Trump campaign would have been loath to be seen as bullying a senior citizen who was unable to defend himself, at least with Biden. That’s no longer the case. Trump is now free.
