Is A Big Vacancy Coming?
Earlier this week we reported on the increasing tensions between the Biden and Harris camps within the White House. There's more. Washington insiders are hearing whispers that the House of Representatives may be facing a big confirmation fight soon.
How can that be? Confirmations are done by the United States Senate . . . unless the vacancy being filled is the vice presidency of the United States.
There are a couple of possibilities here.
Joe Biden is going to dump Kamala Harris, the only politician in town with lower approval ratings than Biden's. Or, people want him to get rid of her and have started this rumor hoping to embarrass her into stepping down. Either way, Biden needs a new vice president. Perhaps this is a good time for Harris's staff to work on their resumes.
The final possibility is that Joe Biden is getting ready to step down and President Harris will need to appoint a vice president.
Who knows what's really going on. But polls show most Americans don't want Biden to run again, and they don't think he's mentally fit for the job. And they don't think Harris is up to the job either.
