Kamala Harris future President of the USA?

submitted by Zapped from (self.AskSaidIt)

Do you think Kamala Harris will run for President in 2024? If she loses, will Biden step down so the Democrats can say they were the first to put a woman in the Oval Office?

I guess you're assuming that Biden won't run in 2024? Because if he does, then of course Kamala Harris could not or would not run. Then she could run for president in 2028.

But if Biden signals that he won't run in 2024, then sure, she would likely be the Democrat nominee. If she lost the election, would Biden resign in November so she could be a lame duck for a month?

No, that would never happen. It would be a direct contravention of the will of the electorate. Congress would never go for it, and it would be a huge risk for Democrats for no gain. If voters were likely to care enough about the first female president to reward Democrats for such a maneuver, well then they would've elected Harris.

Thumbs up for the first smart question i am asking myself.

Maybe i turn the spotlight on "else" places, but you get the picture.

If Trump doesn't run...

Biden isn't going to run in 2024, he won't be strong enough to defeat just about any serious Republican challenger even if he was physically and mentally up for a second term.

That's a huge problem right now, the right has a ton of former liberals like myself who will be voting with them because we don't like the alt-left in charge.

The idea was they'd just run Kamala, but they don't want another Hillary and it doesn't look like she has or will have the popularity either.

I think what they're going to do is both step down, pat themselves on the back for "Saving Democracy from Trump," and cry behind closed doors. Leave the race to challengers who actually have a chance.

If Trump does run they gain back a lot of the lost liberals who dislike Trump so Kamala will be a viable candidate.

    the media was unanimously in the tank for Clinton, and she still lost

    They tried to run an unpopular candidate because she wielded the considerable Clinton political capital they have. She was owed. I think you both have good points, but Hillary should never have been a candidate and hopefully they won't make that mistake again.

    She is already the President.

    Who needs elections when you have Amendment 25 and dementia?

    They project and telegraph everything they plan. The past is prologue.

    I think Kamala is there to make people feel relieved when they swap her out for Tulsi ‘CFR’ Gabbard.
