Kamala Harris Pushes for Prominence as Top Democrats Question Joe Biden's Viability: 'It's Time To Pass The Buck'

Kamala Harris desires her moment of prominence. According to a new report, the vice president is taking action as many prominent Democrats lose confidence in the elderly Joe Biden.

“Massive drama right now in WH, Kamala advisors straight up telling Biden advisors it’s time to pass the buck, exact words used, per WH official. This is the first direct, open confrontation at the senior level,” Ex-U.S. Navy intelligence officer and right-wing politico Jack Posobiec claimed on X.

Despite Joe Biden's unwavering refusal to withdraw from the race following his recent debate failure, reports suggest he is becoming increasingly open to stepping down.

“He’s being receptive. Not as defiant as he is publicly. He’s gone from saying, ‘Kamala can’t win,’ to ‘Do you think Kamala can win? It’s still unclear where he’s going to land but seems to be listening,” one senior advisor told CNN.

The change occurred following surprising votes of no confidence from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, two of the party's most prominent and influential Democrats.

While other individuals, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, have been suggested as possible last-minute substitutes for Biden, the majority of people are placing their expectations on the vice president.

According to a recent Economist/YouGov study published on Thursday, as reported by the Hill, 79% of Democrats would choose Harris as the party's candidate in November if Joe Biden decided to withdraw.

“After deep reflection over these past few days, I strongly believe that our best path forward is Kamala Harris,” former Ohio congressman Tim Ryan wrote in an Op-Ed for Newsweek. However, other surveys have not shown the same level of favorability for Harris.

A study conducted by BlueLabs, an analytics firm, on Tuesday, revealed that alternative contenders such as Whitmer, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro exhibited superior performance compared to Harris in the crucial swing states of Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.

"Voters are looking for a fresh face. Those more closely tied to the current administration perform relatively worse than other tested candidates,” the study said in its findings.
