Interesting idea, but it has a flaw. Harris’s approval numbers are worse than Biden’s. And, she’s a woman of color to boot. How about this? Harris bows out so that Biden can have a strong VP candidate able to take over when necessary. Folks wouldn’t trust Harris in that role. Biden ain’t gonna quit before the election, so there needs to be a good alternative VP in place.
@johnldeboer The base of the Democratic Party is black women. What happens if you discard a black woman for a white person?
@TetsuKaba You’re assuming the alternative would be white. Not necessarily. And it could still be a woman, though I still think Americans aren’t ready yet for a woman president, and let’s face it, that’s what we’re talking about - the VP taking over in a Biden second term either through death or the 25th Amendment. But you’re right - being seen as forcing Harris out would be a bad move. Harris would have to do it herself “for the good of the country.”
