Election counting is still going on, but Trump is leading and has a very good chance of winning. Assuming he holds on, do you think Biden would consider resigning before his term ends so that Harris can be sworn in as president? She'd hold office for about two months, but Biden would be able to say he helped get the first female president installed.
Do you think this is a possibility?
If Trump does win I doubt Biden and Harris will be on very good terms with one another.
shareI honestly thought the plan was for Kamala to take over as soon as she was declared "winner" by the media, and then that would be an excuse not to have an inauguration - to avoid the visual of the crowd numbers not matching her "vote count".
shareCould she serve two full terms after that if this happened?
(Theoretical question)
Lyndon B. Johnson could (at least candidate for another full term)...
shareThanks. Looked up his wiki and it said:-
As he had served less than two years of President Kennedy's term, Johnson was constitutionally eligible for election to a second full term in the 1968 presidential election
So kind of interesting (or pure stupidity) that the demrats did not let her take over in early 2023. This way she'd had more time to distinguish herself... π€
shareYeah, I agree. I'm not too bothered about US politics - thought Burden was just as embarrassing as Trump.
But when his dementia was really obviously setting in, they should have asked him to step aside and maybe she would have had a better chance if she'd been in the public eye longer.
Plus I guess not doing so must have hit voter confidence in the honesty of the democrats, as the guy clearly can't really have been running the country for some time now...
True, his decline was already visible in 2022. But Jill enjoyed the White House so much... π
shareAs a Trump voter, I was actually worried that Biden would step aside and let Harris become president during the summer. I think it would have given Harris a boost and would have removed the stigma of having a woman in power for the first time.
shareI think the demrats knew pretty well deep down inside that Harris was a poor choice, no matter how much time she had to prepare.
sharePresident Jill probably gonna fire Kamala's ass. It was a failed coup.
setting off a nuke in Ukraine might certainly delay the hand-off. ain't nothing over yet.
Ha! That would be hilarious, but I don't think it's gonna happen...
