Late-night host Bill Maher was not wrong in recommending the Biden administration drop Kamala Harris off the 2024 ticket. She brings nothing to the table and has to be one of the most off-putting vice presidents in history. In the off chance that Biden wins the 2024 election, we would all likely face off with Harris as president because Biden doesn’t have another term left in him.
Hell, I’m not so sure he’ll make it through this term. He’s certainly doing a terrible job with half-baked and expensive policies as the man forgets his own damn name and looks for ghosts during speeches.
“It’s very hard to take the nomination away from the president,” Maher said. “What I could see is replacing the vice president because she’s not very popular anywhere. And it didn’t seem to work out. And I don’t know. That’s been done before in a ticket.”
Flanagan said that Harris was not only an “off-putting person,” but that she also has “a lot of baggage that probably wouldn’t do well under a lot of scrutiny.”
“I just think she’s a bad politician,” Maher responded. “And I don’t … I think she’s a very bright person. But I can see them doing that because a lot of the problem with Biden being old is, ‘Oh, if he dies then you know you’re gonna get this person.’ OK, so here’s the problem with the Democratic party. They’re so boxed in by identity politics that you cannot conceive of a Democratic ticket that doesn’t have a woman and person of color on it. And pretty soon you’re gonna line up behind that gay Latino and you’re gonna have to have, you know, a deaf Eskimo be the–”
Jones jumped in to claim that Biden was “an example of identity politics” because he claimed that black voters looked at Biden and said to themselves, “We think we need to put a white guy in here.”
Maher then defended Biden from those who point out that he is older president in U.S. history, saying, “Would I like to have great wisdom in the body of a 20-year-old? Yes.”
“I admit, he is gonna have trouble in the debate. Debates are gonna look bad. Prepare for it now. There’s gonna be some senior moments. OK, he could show up without pants. That’s true,” Maher said. “It doesn’t matter. It has nothing to do with running the country.”

What do you think about dropping Kamala Harris? I think it depends on who ends up on the Republican ticket. Harris would be the nail in Biden’s coffin of failures against the right candidate against him.
