Vice President Kamala Harris is the first female to hold the Number Two political office in the United States. But will she become the first female to hold the Number One political office? When she ran for president in 2020, prior to now-President Joe Biden’s asking her to be his running-mate, her campaign did not get off the ground. Considering her performance as vice president thus far, would she be able to come out on top in a future presidential run?
Of course, Harris could become president of the United States without being voted into that high office. Biden’s performance is frequently chock full of errors and mental lapses, and his mental capabilities appear to be deteriorating. At age 78, he is already the oldest president in U.S. history. There is a good chance Biden will not finish his first term, much less be able to run for a second term.
Not surprisingly, Democrat heavyweights are thinking hard about who will be his successor. Few, if any, seem anxious to have him be their standard bearer for a second term and many even worry about him being able to hold office for his current four-year term. In fact, hardly anyone expects Biden to be a candidate for re-election in 2024.
So who will succeed — or replace — the current president?
Ordinarily, the early favorite among the Democrat string-pullers behind the scenes would be happy with the sitting vice president. But it seems as though Kamala Harris is not at the top of their list. Her performance as vice president has shown her to be an arrogant self-promoter, someone unlikely to appeal to rank and file voters. A lot of the distaste she has generated stems from the arrogance she has displayed after receiving Biden’s assignment to deal with the crisis at the nation’s southern border. She has actually done next to nothing since she received the assignment in March.
The border crisis isn’t a difficult issue that average citizens from coast to coast don’t understand. The number of border crossers into the U.S. is somewhat staggering and most voters, including Democrats, don’t like what they see happening. During June 2021, U.S. officials, including Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary David Shahoulian, claimed a whopping 188,829 entered the U.S. illegally. One month later, that figure rose to 210,000. Almost half of these entrants brought along their families including young children. Also, said Shahoulian, there were were 19,000 unaccompanied children among the entrants.
More than 10 weeks after she had received the president’s assignment and done nothing, Harris was asked why she hadn’t even visited the border region. Her snarky response to NBC’s Lester Holt included, “I’ve haven’t been to Europe.” Holt didn’t ask her about any plan to visit Europe but didn’t press her to answer the simple question he posed. She has also relied on a previous visit to Guatemala where she blamed the crisis at the U.S. border on “climate change” that affects Central America. When Donald Trump announced that he would visit the border area, Harris hurriedly took a trip to El Paso, Texas, where she chatted with some friendly immigration officials, visited with some bureaucrats, and quickly headed back to Washington. She never even saw the actual El Paso border and her time in that city amounted a glorified photo-op. Critics were quick to point out that most of the illegal border crossings were occurring, not at El Paso or at other locales that are capably guarded, but a few hundred miles to the southeast of that cosmopolitan city where the bulk of the crossings were actually occurring.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has called for Harris to be removed from the assignment. GOP Senator Ted Cruz, who happens to be a Texan, pointed to “thousands of pounds of dangerous drugs including fentanyl” being brought into the U.S. by some of the illegal entrants. But Harris has done nothing to combat that serious problem.
While no elected Democratic official has openly expressed any concern that Harris might possibly be elevated to the nation’s highest office, POLITICO has made note of the “toxic work environment” in her vice presidential office. And Axios news service claims that “Democrats are privately reconsidering the idea of Harris as Biden’s heir apparent.” Retired Marine Corps Major General Geoffrey Higginbotham released a carefully researched summary of the Harris background that didn’t focus on her dismal performance regarding the porous border. The General wants Americans to know Harris better, and he relies on a damaging report compiled by Combat Veterans for Congress PAC that focused on the subversive background of the woman who might soon be named U.S. president.
The Higginbotham-distributed report points to Harris’ having been “an avowed Marxist professor in the Economics Department at Stanford University.” It notes that she became the “mistress of Speaker of the California Assembly Willy Brown Jr.,” a hardcore leftist who is described as “a well-known long-time Communist sympathizer [and is now] one of the Chinese Communist Party’s best friends in the San Francisco Bay Area.” Brown, said the Combat Veterans, “guided” the Harris political rise in California politics, leading to her election as the state’s Attorney General.”
There is much more damaging information in this report about Harris and the array of leftists who helped her achieve political prominence. According to the report, “the Socialists, Marxists and Communists who control Kamala Harris are planning to enact provisions of the 25th Amendment in order to remove Joe Biden from office so Harris can become the first Communist President of the United States.”
Yes indeed, it’s time for many more Americans — certainly including more Democrat politicians and voters throughout the nation — to know more about the ambitious creature who is already next in line to become Joe Biden’s successor.
