 Democrats wrestle with whether Harris would be stronger than Biden

Democrats are wrestling over the question of whether Vice President Harris would be a stronger candidate than President Biden to head the Democratic ticket after last week’s race-altering debate.

Harris has made it clear in recent days that she fully supports Biden’s continued bid for a second term and is not angling to replace him.

But Democratic aides and strategists say privately that Biden’s fate could depend on what polls show over the next few weeks, and they warn that if he falls substantially further behind former President Trump, it could prompt widespread calls among Democrats for the president to drop his reelection bid.

Democrats have generally stuck with Biden, but cracks emerged Tuesday, with Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) becoming the first sitting House member to call on the president to step aside.

Harris is the most likely substitute for Biden, though several sources said there would likely be competition.

“We just have to win, and it’s probably easier with someone other than Joe Biden,” said one Senate Democratic aide.

A CNN poll of registered voters conducted by SSRS in the days after the debate showed Trump now beating Biden nationwide by 6 points, 49 percent support to 43 percent. The same poll showed Trump leading Harris by a narrower margin, 47 percent support to 45 percent.

Lots of Kamala jokes in the days ahead, but never forget that she led the charge to destroy Bret Kavanaugh at a Senate confirmation hearing, deploying a lying crazy woman, to make baseless, slanderous accusations from 30 years ago
Kamala’s a joke- but also an awful person

Been checking with sources who cover the Biden campaign. According to them, there was a distinct shift yesterday in the tone from morning to evening. The Biden camp started yesterday defiant that Joe Biden would not be dropping out. By evening, that had shifted. Kamala Harris is seriously being considered to have her "moment" at the top of the ticket. She's also the only one who can keep the campaign's money. A lot will hinge on this George Stephanopoulos interview on July 5. If Biden performs poorly, they don't see how he survives. Nothing will happen either way until then.

... maybe, until Cackles started talking.

Why?  Everybody knows that Steph is a Clinton hack, that the interview will be softball and not live, and ultimately edited to try and make Biden look good.  Nobody's going to buy that...

Absolutely.

It is not a debate, but a DNC commercial paid by ABC

Steph goes back to Michael Dukakis.

There will be mostly balls, but he'll have to throw a strike or two to create a false appearance of journalistic integirty.

They could use Kamala's cackle as a torture device at Guantanamo, if they were so inclined. This two-minute clip, dubbed, "You died and went to hell," would do it.

Don't they mean that the puppet master is wrestling with whether The Cackler will follow orders or fight them.

Democrats don't wrestle with whether either is competent enough to lead our country for the next four years.  All they care about is winning elections and seizing power.
