Those on the left are wrestling with whether VP Harris will be more radical and up-and-coming than President Biden, who will head the majority-rule ticket after last week’s race-modifying clash.
Harris recently made it clear that she fully maintains Biden’s short-term bid and is not looking to replace him.
In any case, pollsters and pundits say privately that Biden’s fate may hinge on what the polls show in the next two weeks, and they caution against assuming he can. Previous presidents are significantly behind Trump, which could spark long-distance calls between them. Liberals drop their reelection bid for president.

Those on the left have generally sided with Biden, yet there was a break on Tuesday, with Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) turning to the principal sitting House section to approach the president to step aside. .
Harris is the most likely alternative to Biden, but some sources said there would almost certainly be a rivalry.
“We just need to win, and it’s more straightforward with someone other than Joe Biden,” said one aide based on the Senate vote.
A CNN poll of listed citizens directed by SSRS a few days after the debate showed Trump currently leading Biden cross-country by 6, 49 percent to 43 percent. A similar poll showed Trump leading Harris by a small margin, 47 percent to 45 percent.
The poll similarly showed that 56 percent of majority-rule voters and populist-leaning independents believe their party would have a high chance of winning the White House with someone other than Biden. Only 43 percent of those citizens said they thought Biden was their best choice.
Representative James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), one of Biden’s top floor partners, has twice said he would retain Harris in the event Biden drops out of the race, even as he has expressed confidence in the president. An assurance has been offered.
Various officials have similarly expressed their confidence in Harris, even making it clear that Biden is their rival.
“I believe she’s done an extraordinary job of being a partner to the president and running the party and running the nation, and I think she’ll continue to do that,” Sen. LaFonza Headservant (D-Calif.) said. told reporters Tuesday when asked if Harris would be a contender in a possible general political race.
“Everybody is in the spirit of fighting for the American people and winning this political race,” said Steward, who visited Harris in California last week and has seen her “different times” since the debate.
“What the VP has demonstrated to me is that he is willing to go out and campaign in every part of the country, talk to voters and get the job done to win this political decision.”
Get-out-the-vote expert Jamal Simmons, who served as Harris’ chief of communications until last year, said Harris would have a path to winning the election if Biden dropped out of the race.
“I think she won the open show,” Simmons expressed, highlighting the way Harris still has name recognition and is the president’s closest promoter and partner. “Editorially, there’s no one better than Kamala Harris. … She’s extremely competent, and except for the 2019 official challenge, she’s won every political challenge, anyway, when people bet against her. What’s more, the ideal 2019 cycle has shown examples of what will make it a top contender in 2024.”
Harris has had a stormy record as VP and has been plagued by various problems including the boundary. Her own lackluster endorsement numbers have left many on the left wondering during Biden’s tenure whether she will be a serious force for political decision-making.
But Harris would clearly enjoy benefits if Biden stepped aside, including a possible entry into the Biden-Harris crusade.
“It’s not irrelevant,” Simmons said. “His name is on the archives. These are serious areas of strength for reps to play with.”
“In the event that Biden currently has 90 percent of agents, he is expected to get half — which is currently 45 percent. She could start the entire challenge with that. On the principal polling form, she Assuming 45 percent. He did nothing else,” he said.
In the event that Biden steps down, Harris will likely face off for the majority rule pick, possibly including against California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Simmons said the open show will help Harris.
“It will fuel the dirty laundry. Everyone knows all about the VP’s flaws. They are not as aware of the blemishes of the different comers. Also, when the series starts, the selectors make extra educated decisions. Who they are can be elected,” he said.
A majority-rule-enhancing support planner said the consensus among major party donors is to stay with Biden, but that Harris should still be viewed cautiously as a serious challenger.
Strategy noted that Harris was selected as the first woman and first African American to serve as California’s chief legal officer.
“She ran for president [in 2020] thinking she could get the job done, and Biden chose her with the idea that she would be able to and get the job done,” Maher said. “
“This is not a Dan Quayle situation,” the source added, referring to President George HW Bush. VP of Hedge.
Whether Harris will actually be a more grounded opponent than Biden is the subject of intense debate among pollsters. CNN’s post-debate poll shows Harris has a favorable rating of 29 percent, just a few points below Biden, who has a favorable rating of 34 percent.
Trump was seen as a stark contrast to the two, with 39% of respondents expressing an ideal assessment of the previous president.
“I like Kamala a ton, but I’m not sure it’s good for her to go,” said a popular employee who has known Harris for a long time. “I think there are a lot of flaws that we’ve seen in her experience as VP. Am I saying she’s never going to be president? No, however, I don’t think that’s the other way around. “
A donor who is Harris’ longtime partner will reveal in the next few weeks that Harris will be prosecuted.
“I think she dealt with herself and the reaction [to the debate] from a point of view, and I think if she continues to show that side of herself, she’s going to win over a ton of the left pretty quickly. will.” said the giver.
