From Fox News: Former communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, Jamal Simmons, surprised a CNN panel Sunday by suggesting President Biden step down to allow Harris to serve as the first female president.
“Joe Biden’s been a phenomenal president, he’s lived up to so many of the promises he’s made. There’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure,” Simmons said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris President of the United States—”
The panel, including host Dana Bash, reacted audibly to the idea.
He continued, “It would absolve her from having to oversee the January 6th transition of her own defeat. And it would make sure, it would dominate the news, at a point where Democrats have to learn, drama and transparency and doing things the public want to see. This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate.”
Kaelan Dorr of the MAGA War Room posted a video clip of the moment and wrote, “Harris advisor floats INSANE conspiracy that Joe Biden should resign immediately so that Kamala Harris can spend a few days as our first female president before President Trump takes over.”

Simmons then doubled down on his idea with a social media post:
Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfill one last promise – to be transitional. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first woman president. It’d turn tables on Trump, keep Kamala from presiding over Jan 6 make it easier for next woman to run. #trailblazepodcast
Dems have better policies but we must realize the old rules no longer apply. We are not playing table tennis. We are in a mixed martial arts fight and Americans respond to drama and excitement. We should use that to make our arguments for a better path forward.

The wild proposal is being met with widespread mockery:

There’s absolutely no way that a majority of women want this stunt to be how the first woman becomes president for 30 days. What a slap in the face.

Kamala has been handed every position she has ever held.

Steal the First Woman President title from the woman who actually earns it.

Biden was ousted in a coup. He’s not going to do Kamala favors. The happiest I’ve seen Biden in years was the day after the election. He feels vindicated for being tossed aside.

Jill wants to decorate for Christmas one more time, so this can’t happen!

This is actually perfect. Kamala Harris, who owes her entire career not to her skills but to DEI, can put a cherry on top of her political career by being handed one more thing she didn’t earn.
Love it. https://t.co/AmU6OU3ff7

My personal opinion – as a woman of color who has had an entire career in a predominantly male-dominated profession, I personally would feel embarrassed to be awarded something just because of my gender and/or color that I didn’t earn fair and square.

NEW: CNN’s Scott Jennings starts laughing after Harris advisor Jamal Simmons calls on President Biden to make Kamala Harris the 47th president of the United States.
Terrible idea. All the Trump 45-47 hats are already made.
