We’ve seen that Joe Biden is deeply underwater in the polls and the Democrats’ possibilities as we look into the future at the 2022 midterms, then onto 2024, don’t look good with him at the front of the ticket.
Kamala Harris was chosen as the backup. Harris, however, is more in disapproval than Joe Biden right now. According to a Quinnipiac poll he had 36% approval. She was 28 percent when her last approval number was released earlier in the month. Harris has been a significant block to their potential election prospects. But now they’re stuck with her.
Are they really?
Rumours of rifts among the Harris and Biden camp have led to speculation about Pete Buttigieg joining the fray or Harris creating a ticket. You know they’re desperate when they’re thinking of replacing lightweight Kamala Harris with even less qualified Pete Buttigieg. Speculation about a Buttigieg-Harris ticket also indicates that the Democrats realize that Biden isn’t going to be in play, come 2024, as a viable candidate.
Now, there’s a new report about how they might be able to ease Harris out of her position — that Democrats are whispering about a “nuclear option” — nominating her to the Supreme Court — according to The Telegraph.
The idea of a Supreme Court nomination for Ms Harris was first reported by CNN which, while calling it an “Aaron Sorkin-style rumour” said the “chatter has already reached top levels of the Biden orbit”
This may seem unbelievable. Harris doesn’t have the experience to be qualified for the Court. Making the Biden team unhappy and being too unpopular to be re-elected isn’t a qualifying credential. They can confirm her hearings even though she has no legal background. With all of her questionable actions as San Francisco District Attorney and California Attorney General, that would be quite something. Leftists might be hesitant to support her because she is too extreme. It’s how she earned her nickname, “Kamala the Cop” from them. This would prove to be a huge mistake. She would then expose her flaws and lack qualifications making her less likable.
Plus, maybe I’m missing something here, but there isn’t an open seat on the Court right now — are they planning on someone quitting or dying? You don’t just get to nominate her without a seat being open, so what’s up with that?
In their report, The Telegraph notes that some operatives have been preparing for a possible contested presidential primaries with Harris and other candidates. But then that’s problematic with them attacking each other for the seat. This is on top of the fact that many are very dissatisfied with the work done by the administration. This kind of move will likely benefit the Republicans more than leaving her on top.
The bottom line is that they picked her for identity politics reasons, they didn’t take into account why the public rejected her in the campaign and how unpopular she truly was. Now they’re having to deal with that. She doesn’t add to the ticket — she has a lot of the same problems that Joe Biden has, such as being constantly gaffe-prone and getting everything she touches wrong.
There isn’t any easy way out of the problems they’ve created for themselves and they deserve to sink like a stone, come the election.
