They also know that Kamala Harris is even worse, while being arrogant enough to resist accepting the role of figurehead and mouthpiece that Old Joe has taken on so readily. And so now, with 2024 coming fast and leftists rubbing their hands with glee at the possibility that they could be facing a candidate who is campaigning from a prison cell, the search for a viable replacement has taken on new urgency. The Los Angeles Times on Monday became the first major cog in the left’s propaganda machine to come out for dumping Harris and replacing her with a more viable candidate. It won’t be the last. > The Times’ George Skelton knows that the left, unlike the right, never turns on its own, and that a public acknowledgement of Harris’ manifest incompetence would be damaging not just for her, but for Old Joe himself. After all, the putative commander-in-chief has repeatedly praised her and declared as recently as May that she “hasn’t gotten the credit she deserves.” --------------------- > His plan for doing this involves Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California SSR), who is ninety years old and manages to make Old Joe look as if he’s sharp as a tack. Feinstein, Skelton writes, “is a problem for California because she’s no longer capable of fully representing the nation’s most populous state — a world-class economic power — in the Senate.” And thus the solution to the Democrats’ problems presents itself: “Feinstein could resign from the Senate and Gov. Gavin Newsom could appoint Harris to replace her. Biden then could find a more popular running mate, one more acceptable to voters as a potential successor.”
