Simmons argued that this move would keep Harris from having to oversee "her own defeat" when the presidential election is certified in the Senate
If Gore can do it, so can Harris
Performative bullshit and really insulting to VP Harris and Women in general
I think she should do it to fuck with Trump since all his 47 branded merch would then be worthless.
Then he just gets to sell a whole new batch of 48 merch and get even more money... That would really show him?
Seems utterly pointless.
What did kamala harris ever do that she deserves a favor?
Unfortunate that he is a former aide so Harris can't fire him.
Such shenanigans would hurt the anti Trump cause (if it exists) by trivializing the elections and making it appear as just a game to Harris.
It's not petty it's self ridiculing.
Also relies on Republicans not making the case that next in line should be Trump because he won already
This is dumb, petty and counterproductive.
But a lot of conservatives were complaining that Harris had to know that Biden wasn't capable of the job and she should have activated the 25th amendment. But she didn't do that and when he did step aside to let her be the candidate these same people that were all about her kicking him out of office were now saying that this was a bloodless coup even though she was only running for pres instead of actually being president. Basically they were irked because she didn't do what they wanted and would have been upset if she did what they wanted. Damned if she did and damned if she didn't.
So if he steps down and she becomes president they get to be unhappy about it and claim the high ground both ways.
Really wish we had adults running things instead of transparently partisan idiots who don't hold any consistent core belief system.
To be fair, this way she could run the campaign while he runs the country.
These people aren't looking for fare. They are looking for excuses to always paint every choice as failure.
Petty? Absolutely. Vindictive? Without question.
Fucking hilarious? 100%.
I thought this is a an Onion at first.
Good luck, Jack!
Why waste the time?
Maybe they think she'll try to do all the things Biden won't do. Things like pack the court or somehow codify Roe v Wade, even if it's far fetched. Show everyone what they missed out on, even if it gets reversed a month later.
Unless that's the plan, it would be a complete waste of time.
