Is Kamala Harris Being Forced Out by the Dems?
By any reckoning, her days are numbered.

As the desertion rate of Vice President Kamala Harris’ staff has turned to a flood and as President Joe Biden’s polling tanks (with Harris’ poll numbers even lower), each passing day makes clear that the Democrats are maneuvering to force Kamala out — and they plan to do it soon.
They are in a panic following their dismal showing in the recent elections. Staring them in the face are the mid-term elections less than a year away. The Democrats are having heartburn over two concerns. The first is they see the president’s obvious decline, both physically and mentally. They realize that he will not be capable of stumping for candidates across the country. Their second concern is that they know that the veep is alarmingly unpopular across wide swaths of the electorate. The candidates in down-ballot races fear that having Kamala campaign in their districts would be a drag on the whole ticket.
And the Dems are terrified that Biden might become incapacitated or perhaps die in office. Kamala would immediately become president and also become the presumptive nominee in 2024. The Dem leadership is convinced that she could not win the presidency. Don’t take my word on it. Liberal political blogger Matthew Yglesias wrote last July, “Perhaps the worst-kept secret in Washington is that tons of Democrats are terrified of the prospect of Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic Party presidential nominee at some point in the future.”
In sum, the Dems are facing a drubbing in the 2022 elections. They are almost certain to lose their majority in the House (Rasmussen gives the Reps a 51-38 edge), and quite possibly in the Senate as well. Add to that the likelihood that several state legislative chambers will flip to Rep, and you can see why next year is shaping up to be “Annus Horribilis” for the Dems. Their leadership has concluded that they must do something dramatic to change the political landscape before next year’s campaigns begin.
Many factors lead me to conclude that the West Wing and congressional leadership are working behind the scenes to remove Harris from office.
