Considering Kamala Harrisā€™s fitness to take over from Joe Biden should the need arise, a top aide to the former California senatorā€™s 2020 campaign said: ā€œThis person should not be president of the United States.ā€

Harris saw heavy staff turnover, with aides describing a toxic climate riven with factionalism and mismanagement. One source who worked for the vice-president declined to go on record or even discuss matters anonymously, due to the heated atmosphere around the office.

ā€œThey refused to characterise the experience of working for Harris, apart from offering a three-word assessment. It was, they said: ā€˜Game of Thronesā€™.ā€

    I actually like Biden, but really think he should drop Harris and pick up a different VP pick. Sheā€™s been nothing but dead weight for this administration. Itā€™s not without precedent, itā€™s been done before. If anything, he could go with Michelle Obama and they could just re-use the same Obama/Biden campaign signs they had from before.

      Why did he even choose her in the first place? If the goal was to have a woman of color on the ticket, there were so many other and better options.

      That would be a much stronger ticket, but I donā€™t see her going for it.

      Put her on the ticket, Biden holds on until 2026 before resigning. Michelle finishes out <2 years of his term, and remains eligible to run two full terms herself.
