Nolte: Report Says Dems Consider ‘Nuclear Option’ to Boot Kamala from White House
I don't see a specific "nuclear option" identified in this article, only a couple of possibilities - she gets appointed to SCOTUS, or somehow she mysteriously loses out during the 2024 primaries and is set aside as running mate. This latter option would cause serious problems with the identitarian left vanguard of the D party.
The first option assumes there would be a vacancy on SCOTUS. Of course a current Justice might die, but the only resignation anyone has called for is for Breyer to stand down to clear the way for a much younger progressive justice. Say what one will about Breyer, he seems to be serious about SCOTUS. Does anyone really think he would resign to clear the way for Harris specifically? I find that hard to believe.
I'm happy to see articles and analysis that disadvantage Ds, but I think this is just the latest made-up speculation designed to drive a wedge between Harris and Biden, not a serious report of what is actually happening behind the scenes.
Never assume that the Ds won't find even greater levels of hypocritical inconsistency to pursue the dynamic "narrative", but I think they're stuck with her where she is. And that means we are stuck with her "a heartbeat away" (and in this case perhaps a synapse away) as well.
