It’s President Harris in a Matter of Days

The realization that Joe Biden has no chance at all to win a second term has finally dawned on Democrats. It doesn't really matter if Biden has an upcoming NATO summit or a planned taped interview with George Stephanopoulus or not. Numbers don't lie and Joe's numbers are abysmal. Fellow octogenarian Nancy Pelosi commented that Joe's cognition, mental acuity, and possible (or probable) dementia are fair game to be questioned. Other fellow octogenarian James Clyburn has proclaimed that he would be happy to support Kamala Harris should Biden step down, even as we have seen that stepping down from only one step has required help from a physician Dr. Jill.

Harris, who often speaks in vacuous circular platitudes or like a kindergarten teacher to Americans, and who deliberately walked away from Biden's mandate to manage the border crisis (I don't have to mention her other earlier San Francisco - married - man date, do I?), will need some much-needed gravitas to convince the disenchanted Democrat electorate (or any human being with a modicum of intelligence) that she is presidential material before facing Donald Trump.

The way to do that, of course, is to convince Jill Biden that she needs to gather up her expensive wardrobe and jewelry and oh, yes, that confused husband of her's who may be wandering somewhere on the White House grounds in his underwear and move out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to make way for the first woman President of the United States, Kamala Harris. Here's a preview of coming attractions:

Donald Trump will then have to campaign against America's first woman POTUS and a woman of some sort of critically important skin pigmentation. America's adversaries may wait before challenging and embarrassing a President Harris, so as to help her chances of getting elected and avoid another Trump presidency.

The lickspittle media will fall in line as the transition is made. Biden's campaign war chest will legally and naturally go to Kamala, and the delegates at the convention in Chicago will nominate her enthusiastically. The only business left (okay, fine, apart from the legal efforts to update ballots in several states) will be to select Kamala's running mate. Newsom is out since he's also from California. Whitmer is the wrong sex or gender or something suffice it to say that two women on a presidential ticket might be a bridge too far. The Democrat VP choice will likely be someone of the male persuasion. Feel free to float your favorite potential candidates.

When will the Kamala Harris ascendency to the presidency be announced? On Independence Day? After the NATO summit? Not until the convention in Chicago? Thoughts?

    Seems like there's already some idea that Joe and Jill don't actually live at the White House, they live in Delaware and Joe just flies over occasionally to DC for a speech.

    "The Democrat VP choice will likely be someone of the male persuasion." I'm not a biologist, so I don't understand what you said there.

    Military experience used to be an important qualification for higher office:

    I think this campaign will be fun to watch.

    Hasn’t he already campaigned against someone who wanted to be the first female President? Didn’t seem to matter to him against Hillary - she claimed he threatened her by simply being near her. So she claimed female privilege first. Otherwise it’s pretty hard to see her as the candidate. She’s so u predictably predictably stupid when she opens her mouth. Unavoidable even with Better Living Through Chemistry. I think.
