Columnists call for Biden to drop Harris, pick new running mate

Several columnists have an idea on how to make President Joe Biden more electable in 2024: Drop Vice President Kamala Harris and pick a new running mate.

Yes, voters think Biden may be too old to serve another four years, according to recent polls, but three columnists believe that a stronger running mate will gain traction in the country or even in the party.

In a piece urging Biden not to run again, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius suggested as a backup plan that Biden could replace Harris with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass or Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

Ignatius says voters are sensibly focusing on Harris because of Biden’s age, while noting that Harris is less popular than Biden, with a 39.5 percent approval rating, according to the polling website FiveThirtyEight.

“Biden could encourage a more open vice-presidential selection process that could produce a stronger running mate,” Ignatius writes.

Biden himself has committed to Harris as his running mate for 2024. He said last year, “She’s going to be my running mate, No. 1. And No. 2, I did put her in charge. I think she’s doing a good job.”

In a New York Magazine Intelligencer column, Eric Levitz floats several options to replace Harris including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) and Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Ill.).

“To be sure, replacing Harris with another running mate is not a great option,” Levitz writes. “It’s just that Democrats have no good ones. It is risky to switch out the first Black and female vice-president for someone else. But it is also risky to saddle an 81-year-old nominee with an exceptionally unpopular running mate who — if all goes well — will be all but guaranteed the party’s nomination in 2028.”

Biden Owes the Country a New Vice President

This brings me to the matter of Biden’s vice-presidential choice. Kamala Harris, the current holder of the post, shares with Henry Wallace progressive values and a proclivity to verbal infelicities. There are no indications that she would be soft on Russia or otherwise swerve—as Donald Trump has—from mainstream American foreign-policy tenets. But neither are there indications that she has developed, over her three years in the White House, any strong, recognizable convictions on America’s role in the world, or how Washington should exercise global leadership. Equally importantly, she has struggled mightily to move the public on any aspect of policy, even those policies—such as civil rights and immigration—on which she has taken an active interest or prominent role. While Republicans, most notably Donald Trump, have leveled, and will continue to level, ad hominem attacks and unsubstantiated charges against Harris, they will be amply justified in making her presence on the ticket a major campaign issue.

And you want her to grant interviews to these aholes?

If she is too much of a coward to sit down with what we know is a compliant press, then we know she will be a coward when dealing with Xi Jinping or Putin.

We already know Trump is a coward with Xi and Putin.

I'll just point out that Putin made no moves when Trump was in office. Can't say the same about Obama or Biden/Harris.
And, Xi wasn't saber rattling when it comes to Taiwan.

Having seen how this administration has responded to national and international crises, I'll take Trump any day.

Because they were allies.

Yes and I despise Trump but he is seen as unpredictable - eg like when he had Soleimani assassinated - and I think that gives world leaders some pause. It's a risky and unsustainable strategy of deterrence though.

Clearly you bought into his propaganda- the man is VERY predictable: give him $$$$$, he will do whatever you want.

The Egyptians gave him 10 million, Trump called Sisi his favorite dictator and gave him 1 billion in aid.

See the Chinese example above. As time goes on, the story will become clearer and clearer.

There is no way no how Harris can become POTUS. She is an absolute incoherent, nonsensical, far-left, train wreck that will further damage our country even more than Biden did and that's saying something. Can you imagine Harris going up against Xi? Dear lord. World leaders will not respect her. No wonder why her campaign will not let her speak to anyone unscripted. This poorly kept secret would finally be revealed to those who only watch liberal media. Republicans need to take both houses of Congress to minimize the damage this woman would do in the chance she becomes POTUS with her harmful policies including much higher taxes, bigger government, a lot more regulation and red tape, socialist policies, less freedom, more racial division, open borders, wasteful green initiatives, banning fracking, men competing in women's sports, weak foreign policy, emboldened foreign enemies, etc. Lord help us.

Are you sad you’re not getting sufficient attention for posting what the right wing media obsesses over? That’s my answer. I don’t particularly care what the chattering classes say, especially not when the media has the hard right bent it has.

And six months ago I was meh on Harris. I remember 2020 when I was deeply underwhelmed. But this is not six months ago, it is not 2020 and she is knocking it out of the park. I’m sorry you’re saddled with the twin bed sores of Trump and the couch toucher. I’d say I hope it gets better but it would be empty; the GOP seems pretty determined to find a lower bar they can dig under.

The post directly above yours is substantive- no response from Trumpsters.

Just because you don't agree with what has been said in response, doesn't mean that there isn't anything substantive in the responses.

I have said it before, I was not a Harris fan. I didn't think she was a good VP choice, and I would not have supported her candidacy for president, not because I thought there was anything wrong with her, but because I didn't think this country was ready to elect a woman president, never mind a woman of color. At this point in time, beating Trump is pretty much THE top priority, and I didn't want us to lose on a technicality - misogyny.

I am happy to report that so far, everything that has transpired has VASTLY exceeded my expectations. I didn't think Biden would step down, and that if he did, the ensuing infighting would absolutely sink not only the presidential ticket, but pretty much any close election downstream, handing the White House, the senate, and the house to Republicans. More than that, it would 100% solidify the MAGA wing's stranglehold on the GOP, and there is no recovering from that. So imagine my shock when the party that likes to shoot itself in the foot more often than not, showed incredible discipline by coalescing behind VP Harris, and even more incredibly, that the Harris team has run an extremely disciplined campaign, unmarred by missteps. I'm sure those will come at some future point in time, but for now, I'm really happy that the choices aren't between REALLY OLD Guy 1 and REALLY OLD Guy 2 who tried to end our Republic.

Dana Walden is a Senior Disney executive whose duties happen to include hosting the upcoming presidential debate between Trump and Harris on ABC.

Democrats have to stack the deck because their entire astroturf operation is built on a House of Cards.

This debate was agreed upon back in I think May of this year. Before Harris was even in the picture. I'm sure that you will point to Fake News Media as the culprit when your guy comes off as a lunatic, as he tends to do.

Biden:

record GDP growth
record job creation
record sustained low unemployment
manufacturing jobs returning
crime down
green energy investment up, green energy production, record highs
record domestic oil production; net energy exporter
expanded NATO and re-energized global alliances

Ya, things are awful!

There is already a thread on this.

Harris intends to exempt the tax for people under a certain income threshold and limit to front like workers like waiters and bartenders.
Trump intends to create a loophole so 6 and 7 figure income professionals can claim certain income as "a tip"

Big difference, actually.
