New York Times: Kamala Harris Is the Least ‘Electable’ DemocratWendell Husebø 23 Jul 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris is the least “electable” among potential Democrats to replace President Joe Biden atop the 2024 ticket, top writers of the New York Times found Monday.
The report underscores Democrats’ lack of a democratic process to select a new de facto nominee — all while nullifying about 14 million votes that were cast for Biden during the Democrat primary.
Many believe the decision to replace Biden amounted to a “coup.” Biden stepped aside on Sunday after top Democrats threatened him with invoking the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to force him out, sources told the New York Post on Monday.
The Times analysis found Harris was the “most risky” and least viable candidate, while Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), in contrast, would be the most likely to beat former President Donald Trump.
It ranked Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) as the most “exciting” candidate and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) as the most “Meh” options.
Govs. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), Wes Moore (D-MD), and Andy Beshear (D-KY) and Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA) are somewhere in the middle.
The Times‘ analysis scored potential candidates on two dimensions:
For the first, on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 means the person would have no chance of beating Trump; 10 means he or she would crush him. For the second, 0 means the person would inspire no enthusiasm; 10 means people would love him or her.
