The 2024 elections are much in the news, and as always, people are making predictions and offering advice. Larry Elder is one such, and while words cannot adequately express my admiration for Larry Elder, this time, I think he’s missing the mark.

“If Joe Biden can’t fog up a mirror, the nominee is going to be Kamala Harris,” Elder said Sunday. After alleging Harris was chosen as a consequence of the Democratic Party’s “obsession” with identity politics, he honed in on her overwhelming support from Blacks.

“The Black media loves Kamala Harris,” he told “Sunday Morning Futures” fill-in host Jason Chaffetz.

“Her polls are at least 70% among Blacks and I suspect even higher among Black females. And don’t forget, the first primary for the Democrats is South Carolina, where 60% of the voters are Black and most of those are Black females, and they love Kamala Harris and will very much resent it if she is perceived as having been kicked to the curb for a White person like Mayor Pete or Gavin Newsom…”

“So they are stuck with Kamala Harris,” he continued.

From the article…

“Her polls are at least 70% among Blacks and I suspect even higher among Black females. And don’t forget, the first primary for the Democrats is South Carolina, where 60% of the voters are Black and most of those are Black females, and they love Kamala Harris and will very much resent it if she is perceived as having been kicked to the curb for a White person like Mayor Pete or Gavin Newsom…”


Agree

The Democrats can dump white male Joe but they’re stuck with Harris. This is the trap of identity politics that the Democrat Party finds itself in

It's a good point.  Harris isn't going to bow out on her own, and forcing her out would alienate a core constituency that the Dems simply cannot afford to have sit out an election.
