Concerns about Joe Biden intensify the spotlight on his running mate Kamala Harris

 

The bill, which formalizes a remedy allowed by the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, will go nowhere in a GOP-led Senate. The grandstanding move was intended to deflect from Pelosi’s failure to pass a stimulus bill and highlight Trump’s supposedly erratic personality and decision-making. This is the campaign Democrats have chosen to run. Not about issues or policy; it is all about Trump. 

But Pelosi’s move backfired. President Trump hinted that the bill’s real purpose was to make it simpler for Democrats to shove Joe Biden aside, should he win in November, and replace him with his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.

This was a goof by Pelosi. Many probably believe Trump’s assertion, as they watch Biden struggling with what they see as cognitive impairment. According to a Zogby survey conducted in June, “a majority (55%) of likely voters surveyed thought it was more likely (much more and somewhat more likely combined) that Vice President Biden is in the early stages of dementia…”    

And that was when Uncle Joe was still cowering in his basement. Now that more people have seen the Democrat candidate out on the stump, the conviction that Biden might not be able to serve out four years in office has only grown. 

 

The recent debate between Vice President Mike Pence and the California senator did not go well for Harris. Axios hosted a focus group of undecided voters in Michigan who met post-debate; they concluded that if Biden wins, it will be Harris running the show. 

One attendee said, “Biden’s not going to make it four years, so Kamala Harris is going to be president and I have zero trust she can be president, so I’m just picking the lesser of two evils at this point.” “Everyone else in the group agreed,” according to the write-up. 

Harris does not seem to reject this possibility. She has on more than one occasion referred to the “Harris administration,” as though she’s already dumped poor Joe.
