No, this headline is not a prediction that Harris is going to win the election. I still firmly believe that Trump is going to win, barring some unforeseen event to derail what I am calling the “deep metaphysics” of this election, or the manifest destiny of Trump.
Here is the point: America does not have a president right now. Biden’s senility is galloping ahead. It is grotesque irresponsibility for him to continue in office another day. Vice President Harris is derelict in her duty not to invoke the 25th Amendment.
The speculation behind this headline is that if Harris loses the election, Biden may well resign shortly after—or be forced out through the 25th Amendment, paving the way for Harris to become “the first woman president,” even if for only two months. If he resigns, Biden will enjoy another round of how he’s the greatest president since Lincoln, on par with George Washington. And he will have delivered our first woman president. Everybody wins. And Harris becomes the Dem front runner for 2028. Oh goody.
The evidence of his incapacity is plain for anyone with eyes to see:
P.S. You might be asking, “Why didn’t they make Biden step aside already, and elevate Kamala before the election?” A sensible question, but if she became president now, she inherits directly the legacy of the unpopular Biden policies. She would now have to start fixing problems on her “Day One.” It wouldn’t fit her strategy of trying to present a “fresh start” and enable some distance between herself and Biden. Of course this is absurd, but it seems to be working to some extent.
