Editor’s Commentary: As much as I’d love for Donald Trump to take on Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer to shine a bright spotlight on how Democrat policies have decimated states that should be thriving, the push to make Kamala Harris the top line on the ticket is most appealing. She’s the third-least likeable Democrat in politics behind Hillary Clinton and Eric Swalwell. That makes her a prime choice Republicans should hope for as Joe Biden’s replacement.
Democrats don’t trust Biden’s brain, but most of them like him. The same cannot be said about Harris and in the game of election politics, likeability is near the top of the list. Add in the fact that even without the scourge of dementia she’s still barely more cognizant than Biden on policy issues and all of a sudden a Harris nomination sounds peachy. Here is the news compiled from corporate media reports…
On Sunday, Democrats convened behind closed doors as pressure mounted on President Biden to step down from the presidential race.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., held a virtual meeting with top Democrats on House committees Sunday afternoon.
Fox News learned that several Democrats on these panels voiced concerns about Biden’s ability to run for re-election against former President Trump.
Sources indicate that the consensus among most Democrats on the call, who suggested Biden should bow out, was that the party should rally around Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential successor.
Reps. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.; Mark Takano, D-Calif.; Don Beyer, D-Va.; and Adam Smith, D-Wash., privately expressed on Sunday that Biden should withdraw as the Democratic nominee. Most reportedly endorsed Harris as the nominee, according to two people familiar with the meeting who spoke to The Associated Press.
Following reports on the meeting, Beyer issued a statement:
“I support President Biden. I support the Biden-Harris ticket and look forward to helping defeat Donald Trump in November,” Beyer said. “I was proud to host an event this week in Northern Virginia with the President and will continue doing all I can to support the Biden-Harris campaign in Virginia and across the country.”
The meeting was proposed after Biden’s 22-minute interview with ABC News on Friday, which the Biden campaign hoped would allay fears about the president’s capability to continue the campaign and defeat former President Donald Trump.
Instead, the interview sparked renewed fears among Democrats already worried by Biden’s poor debate performance.
“Look, Biden looked better and certainly more coherent than he looked during the debate, but there’s nothing in this interview that is calming the nerves of jittery Democrats who fear that Joe Biden is on a trajectory to lose this race, to lose to Donald Trump,” ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl said after the interview.
Despite the pressure, Biden struck a defiant tone, stating he would not drop out unless “the Lord Almighty were to come down and say, ‘Joe, get outta the race.'”

Trying to nail down Joe Biden or Kamala Harris on the number of jobs they’ve “created” — the government does not create jobs; it can create economic conditions that can lead to job creation or job losses — during the last disastrous three-and-a-half years is like trying to nail Jell-O…

Are You Ready for the Big Steal … Again?
by Richard Blakley, WND
