Vice President Kamala Harris' former communications director has floated a wild plan to make her the first female commander in chief. All President Biden has to do is resign.
Jamal Simmons, who was part of Harris' team from 2022 to 2023, urged Biden to step down so Harris could make history, even though she lost in a landslide to President-elect Donald Trump. did.
“Joe Biden has been great, but he has to fulfill one last promise, and that is that this is a transition period. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first female president,” Simmons said. Posted in X.

“It's going to dominate the news at a time when the Democratic Party has to learn drama and transparency, and it's time to do what the people want,” Simmons said on the air.
“It's time to change the entire perspective on how the Democratic Party operates.”
Biden, 81, has already made history when he selected Harris, 60, as his first female vice president. She is also the first black woman and Asian American vice president in U.S. history.
Additionally, the president withdrew his nomination for the Democratic nomination on July 21, paving the way for Harris to become the second woman to serve as the party's presidential nominee.

As vice president, Harris is tasked with presiding over the Congressional proceedings to certify the 2024 election results on January 6, 2025.
Simmons emphasized that Biden's resignation will save Harris from having to go through that experience.

Simmons' comments come as Democrats reflect on how they lost to Republicans and Trump last week, despite the party being labeled a threat to American democracy. Ta.
