| 2023-02-20 |
| [Fox News] "I'm very popular with my Base, whoever they are" Vice President Kamala Harris dismissed her unpopularity among Democrats as well as President Biden's as "political chatter" during an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Friday. "Dozens of Democratic leaders are saying that they not only don’t think that he’s the strongest candidate, you know, considering the larger field that could be possible given his age and other defects, but they don’t think that you’re the right person to be on the ticket. Why do you think that?" Mitchell asked. Harris said it was important to focus on the needs of the American people and not on "political chatter" coming from Washington, D.C. Mitchell also asked Harris if she still wanted to be president one day. Vice President Kamala Harris dismissed "political chatter" about her and President Biden's unpopularity during an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. "Joe Biden intends — has said he intends to run for re-election as president. And I intend to run with him as vice president of the United States," Harris said. Politico reported on Thursday that Democrats are afraid to express concern over Biden's age ahead of the 2024 presidential election publicly because they fear the alternative, Vice President Harris. One House member told Politico's Jonathan Martin that Democrats should renominate Biden, then instructed the reporter to turn off his phone and demanded to know who else was in the running. The member also said that Harris was not a viable option. Speaking on Harris, another House Democrat told Politico, "the Democrats who will need to speak out on her are from the Congressional Black Caucus, no White member is going to do it." |

| #4 ...More than just Bernie - the current Democratic primary system has its roots in the effort to keep George McGovern and Jimmy Carter away from the conventions because they knew that McGovern would be steamrollered and Carter was a risk. Mike |

| #3 In this one case, I agree with Kamala. The DNC doesn’t care what people want. They cheated the system twice to defeat Bernie. In the 2nd instance, they put a candidate that nobody wanted, one that didn’t even campaign into the a White House. They followed the same no campaign strategy to install senators and governors, as well. The question is not whether she is incompetent or unlikable, it is whether she will read the teleprompter and dance as they move the strings. |
