Former Harris aide calls for Biden to resign so she can be president briefly
by Tara Suter - 11/10/24 3:55 PM ET
Jamal Simmons, a former aide to Vice President Harris, called for President Biden to resign so that the vice president can have his role for a short amount of time.
“Joe Biden’s been a phenomenal president, he’s lived up to so many of the promises he’s made. There’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure,” Simmons said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on a panel featuring anchor Dana Bash, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
“He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris president of the United States,” he continued, drawing shocked reactions from others.
President Biden dropped out of this year’s race for the White House in late July, following a rising tide of concern about his age and mental fitness that came in the wake of a rough debate performance against President-elect Trump a month before. Harris then took his position at the top of the ticket, but eventually lost to Trump a few months later.
Simmons said Harris stepping into her boss’s role “would make sure that it would dominate the news, at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things the public will wanna see.”
Harris’s loss to Trump and the loss of control of the Senate in the 2024 elections has rattled Democrats, many of whom view the president-elect as a threat to democracy.
Democrats have also taken to infighting in the wake of the election, with those on the left saying their party didn’t go far enough in their direction to excite the party’s base, while centrists have said the party went too far left and frightened moderate voters.
“We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Sunday in a thread on the social platform X. “We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small.”

I think it's a good idea.
She could give a pardon to Hunter, Joe and other
administration targets keeping them safe from
Trumplican justices.
They will be easy targets to distract from the air,
water, oil, immigration and other regulations
dismantling that will destroy our quality of life. He
needs a cover of crime and hate, and it's worked well
for him so far.
