![Kamala Harris Demanded to Quit by None Other Than The New York Times](https://thepatriotjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/harris-bwbg-768x403.png)
Seconds after Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the race, Democrats were propping up Kamala Harris. On the surface, she looks like an obvious replacement.
Vice presidents often follow their bosses to the White House. The big problem is: Kamala is not a shoo-in. And she is just as bad of a leader as Biden, and liked even less.
Democrats don’t have time to do a true primary process. That leaves delegates to make closed-door deals for the nominee of their choice.
You better believe Harris is scrambling to secure as many delegates as possible. Who knows what she is promising them, to win enough votes to be on the November ticket?
But not everyone on the left is sold on Harris, who is best known for her word salads and lacking basic leadership skills. Now, the New York Times editorial board just dropped a bomb on Harris. And this could sink her chances, big time.
From Breitbart:
The New York Times (NYT) editorial board wants Vice President Kamala Harris off the 2024 ticket because of “profound concerns” about her electability.“There are other qualified Democrats who could take on Mr. Trump and win, and picking a candidate without a real contest is how the party got into a position of anointing a standard-bearer that large majorities of Democrats and independents had profound concerns about.
“While the hour is late, there is still time to put leading candidates through a process of public scrutiny before the party’s nominating convention begins on Aug. 19, to inform the choice of a nominee and to build public support.”
A New York Times Bombshell
The New York Times editorial board called for the Democratic Party to nominate someone besides Vice President Kamala Harris. Yes, you read that right—the newspaper of record, often considered a bellwether for liberal opinion, has openly turned against Harris. The paper cited “profound concerns” over her ability to defeat a juggernaut like Donald Trump.
This isn’t just a passing remark or a minor critique; it’s a full-throated rejection. The Times editorial board laid out their case with surgical precision, questioning Harris’s effectiveness.
They argue that her stepping aside would be in the best interest of the Democratic Party. It would open the door for a new candidate who might have a better shot at winning the presidency.
The Democratic Dilemma
The Democratic Party now finds itself in a precarious position. It desperately needs a unifying figure, someone who can rally the base and present a compelling vision for the future. But with internal divisions and no clear frontrunner, the road ahead looks anything but smooth.
It does not look like anyone else is stepping up. A few notable names, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, are not speaking up. Harris has a worst approval rating than Biden’s.
Trump’s campaign will blame her for the last four years, given that she was Biden’s right-hand woman. The New York Times knows this, but it is unknown if the party will listen.
Key Takeaways:
- The New York Times editorial board has called for Kamala Harris to step aside and not run for president.
- The paper questioned Harris’ qualifications and popularity with voters.
- Trump is sure to blame Harris for Biden’s failures, weakening her electability.
