So my sister the conservative

Has said that if/when (her/my word) Biden wins, the democratic party will immediately move to push him out somehow (it's all very mysterious) and make Kamala president. I thought I was up on my right-wing conspiracy theories. Has anyone else heard that coming from the right-wing noise machine?

1. I've heard mainstream commentators say...

... that Biden might have picked her to ensure a steady pair of hands should Biden die early, or to help her in a 2024 Harris for President run. But nothing about kicking him out early and replacing him with Kamala.

There was early on discussion (perhaps from the candidate himself) of this being a one term reset presidency. If that is the case, one could logically assume that Harris is being set up to run in her own right in 2024. Given Biden's age it would make a certain degree of sense to train your successor.

4. At 77 years old (78 when sworn in), it would be prudent to have someone like Kamala

ready to step in if it becomes necessary.

Not that he'll die in office, but he may develop some medical condition or another that would preclude him from finishing his term.

There being a plan to push him out is just one of many fever-dreams that we'll have to get used to hearing for the next 85 days or so.

He and his ilk have caused to much damage to our country to just avoid politics. I hold him personally responsible.

I’m sorry you don’t have a better sister just as I’m sorry I don’t have a better brother.💕

"Yes, isn't it great to think that Joe's VP is thoroughly fit to take the reins, instead of some wack-job Christian tinfoiler that can't even take a dump without his mother giving the OK"?
