Vice President Kamala Harris Is Now Polling Within the Margin of Error Against Trump.

It's 47-45. (CNN)

Reuters/Ipsos has it at one point. 43-42.

Republicans had better be careful of what they're wishing for. They're all calling for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race. But the President also has another choice: resign and let Kamala Harris run as an incumbent against Trump.

Harris is currently running better against Trump than ANY Democrat, including the President.

I want a victorious Biden-Harris ticket in November.

But if President Biden makes the decision not to run for re-election, then resignation is the better option than havoc at the convention.

IF (unlikely) Harris becomes the nominee the release of her negative acts will sink her. Most likely Biden will resign I. The next two weeks. Harris will be president and appoint (under the instructions of the powers that be) the VP. That VP (having been handpicked will be the dem nominee. Logic says if Biden isn’t capable of running as a candidate he isn’t capable of running the country NOW. The dems will have the November candidate in executive office (not Harris) running as a kind of incumbent. You’ve been schooled. You’re an amateur dem partisan hack.

NOMINATE someone to be vice president. He or she would need to be confirmed by the House AND Senate.

And there would be arguments by MAGAnuts that the House shouldn't confirm her pick. Because should something happen to her while the office of vice president is vacant, Speaker Mike Johnson would become acting president upon his resignation as Speaker and Member of the House.

Most likely it would be someone who has no presidential ambitions, as thus assure a least a handful of Republicans that the pick isn't to be a candidate at the convention or her running mate in November.

Therefore, under that scenario (a Biden resignation coming soon and before the convention), I think whoever Harris would pick as her running mate will NOT be the same person as who she'd nominate for vice president.

Potential VP nominees should include (someone out of office or, if a senator, one from a state with a governor who is a Democrat): Adm. James G. Stavridis (ret.), Sen. Chris Murphy (CT), Sen. Chris Coons (DE)
