Biden May Be Secretly Planning To Replace Kamala Harris As VP: Insider Rumor

Rumors are flying that Joe Biden’s administration is at least looking into the idea of replacing Kamala Harris as vice president and having her nominated to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

White House insiders are painting a picture of total chaos and discontent between Biden and Harris, according to CNN.

“Kamala Harris is a leader but is not being put in positions to lead,” a top Democratic donor said. “[Biden] should be putting her in positions to succeed, as opposed to putting weights on her. If you did give her the ability to step up and help her lead, it would strengthen you and strengthen the party.”

The CNN report also claims there’s a rumor that Biden has considered booting Harris from the vice presidency altogether and nominating her to a Supreme Court vacancy.

“That chatter has already reached top levels of the Biden orbit, according to one person who’s heard it,” CNN reported.

The rumor is now floating around the media as well.

In a scathing piece from New York Magazine, titled, “There Has to Be a Backup Plan. There’s a Backup Plan, Right? Inside the 2024 soul-searching that’s happening in every corner of the Democratic Party,” author Gabriel Debenedetti discusses how Democrats are facing a reckoning.

Debenedetti notes how there seems to be a major divide between Biden and his allies on one side and Harris and her loyalists on the other.

With Trumpism re-ascendant, ambivalence about Biden’s age and political standing is fueling skepticism just as the image of his understudy, Vice-President Kamala Harris, dips even further than his. The most recent analysis from the Los Angeles Times has her net approval rating at negative 11. The result is a bizarre disconnect within the Democratic Party, with two factions talking past each other.

One group consists of Biden and his loyalists, who are convinced that while the ticket’s numbers are undeniably bleak, they’re historically unsurprising for a president and VP facing their first midterm and will surely bounce back. The second group comprises a broad swath of the Democratic elite and rank and file alike, who suspect that vectors of age, succession, and strategy have created a dynamic with no obvious parallel in recent history.

Debenedetti notes that Harris expects Biden to run again in 2024, but if he did step aside, would he endorse Harris as the Democratic nominee?

Most think Harris would win the nomination if Biden backed her, and no one thinks he would ever actively endorse anyone else. But to her doubters, that itself is reason to think that “Biden has to run again because he desperately has to keep Trump out of the White House and defend our democracy,” as one Capitol Hill supporter puts it. “And I have no doubts Kamala Harris can’t win.”

The inside-baseball gripes and anonymous knifing would be easier to shrug off if not for the flurry of sub-rosa activity elsewhere in the party, which suggests a potential Harris candidacy may not be intimidating enough to keep others away from 2024.

I hear Hillary is free...

Bottom Line: Biden doesn't have the power to fire Kamala-toe.

Congress could bring articles of impeachment against her, with the subsequent trial in the Senate. But Kamala-toe was elected alongside SharterJoe. The Constitution does not allow the Chief Executive to dismiss the Vice President.

This is fundamental to the principle of separation of powers.

After the mid-terms and in January after the new Congress is installed, I'd favor articles of impeachment drawn up against BOTH Sharterjoe and Kamala-toe. Neither would be convicted in the Senate, but it sends a clear message.

The article stated she would be bought off with a USSC appointment.
and her cackle will be there for life...

Wow: Jill must be a real catty bitch if she can't tolerate having to share power with the most-est popular-est Veep evah (81 million votes) for 2-1/2 more years... [/sarc]

Yeah, I caught that, but the gist of the article was SharterJoe's intent to move her out of the VP gig.

Who's to say she plays ball and voluntarily resigns? I don't see that happening. She's a turd, but she's a turd with the Veep gig. That's No. 2, albeit a temporary No. 2. (double entendre aside, of course  ).

And there's the assumption that another vacancy in SCOTUS would appear. Who would that be over the next 3-4 years? Thomas? No way - he knows what's at stake. Unless he croaks unexpectedly like Scalia, there's very little likelihood that a vacancy will appear.
