The prospect of a Harris presidency looms larger each day, as calls for President Biden to resign gain traction among both the political elite and the public. Weirdly enough, one of the left’s favorite pollsters, Nate Silver, has jumped on the bandwagon, raising serious questions about Biden’s mental competence. With Biden’s notable tendency to avoid reporters and the ongoing muddle in Ukraine, Silver has boldly suggested that it may be high time for him to pack it up and let Kamala Harris take the reins for those final two months.
Biden’s mental acuity has become a hot topic, igniting discussion not just among conservatives but even touching a few hearts on the left. Silver, who gained prominence using state-level polling to concoct predictive models that often left Democrats grumbling, wonders aloud whether there’s any serious reason to keep Biden around. This isn’t just about filling a couple of months before the next election; according to Silver and others, it’s about offering the first female president a chance to break the proverbial glass ceiling. Apparently, Harris’s supporters now view the possibility of a short-lived Harris presidency as a barely disguised consolation prize amid the chaos.

Silver’s latest model even suggests a slim Trump victory for 2024, leaving liberal circles in an uproar. While many may struggle to reconcile the notion of a pollster predicting Biden’s exit while also forecasting a Trump win, it’s evident that the left is in full meltdown mode. The irony of a liberal pollster calling for the resignation of a president from his own party—over the very issue that liberal Democrats have staunchly avoided discussing publicly—is nothing short of delicious.
Furthermore, the notion that Biden stepping down for Kamala Harris wouldn’t just be a practical fix but also a major milestone for gender politics is rich comedy. Progressives seem more inclined to honor Harris’ gender identity than Biden’s increasingly shaky grip on reality. The absurdity is that her tenure might be viewed as a case of “better late than never,” giving both sides of the aisle something to chuckle about.
With Biden largely out to lunch on key issues, many conservative and moderate Americans are left raising their eyebrows at this latest progressive fantasy. The idea that someone who has been in the shadows for most of Biden’s presidency is suddenly fit for command because her predecessor can’t make it through a press conference is a comedy in itself. As the Biden administration continues to wobble, and with each passing day seemingly more disarrayed, the stage is set for an eventual handover—a real-life sequel to the political parody that has been the Biden presidency from day one.
