Oh, how reassuring it is to know that Vice President Kamala Harris is just eagerly waiting in the wings, ready to step into the presidential role as doubts grow over President Joe Biden’s mental fitness. Because, you know, nothing says stability and confidence like a leader who has to assure everyone she’s “ready to serve” in response to concerns about the current commander-in-chief.
Of course, it’s not like there’s any cause for alarm, right? I mean, a criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified materials found that he “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” but hey, no need for criminal charges. Why bother holding the leader of the free world accountable when we can just chalk it up to being a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a “poor memory”?
And let’s not forget Biden’s stellar performance at that press conference aimed at proving his mental fitness. Yelling at reporters and conveniently forgetting key details – truly a masterclass in leadership. But don’t worry, folks, Kamala Harris is here to save the day, assuring us that everyone who witnesses her in action is “fully aware of [her] capacity to lead.” Well, that’s certainly a relief.
It’s not like top Democrats are privately panicking over Biden’s electability or anything. A recent poll revealing that 86% of Americans think he’s too old for the job and 76% are concerned about his mental fitness is just a minor blip, right? And Jennifer Palmieri, who worked for the illustrious Hillary Clinton, assures us that the special counsel’s report has only accelerated the spotlight on Harris’ ability to serve – as if that’s a comforting thought.
In the unlikely event that Biden decides not to run again, the Harvard CAPS / Harris poll suggests that Harris would be the Democrats’ top choice at a whopping 15%. Because who wouldn’t want a leader with such overwhelming support?
Let’s not forget that NBC News poll from last year, ranking Harris as the lowest-rated vice president in history. But hey, who cares about approval ratings when you’re just a heartbeat away from the highest office in the land?
So, there you have it – Kamala Harris, the shining beacon of hope, eagerly awaiting her moment to lead the nation. What could possibly go wrong?
