The Democrat Long Knives Come Out for Kamala Harris; Democrats Tell Their Newsletter The New York Times That They Have to Ditch Harris To Have Any Chance of Winning in 2024

A week ago, Elizabeth Warren refused to say that she wants Kamala Harris on the ticket, if Biden runs again in 2024. She also wouldn't say she wants Biden to run in 2024.

Tucker Carlson says the Long Knives have come for Kamala Harris, because Democrats understand that she is loathed, charmless, and incompetent, also known as The Hillary Clinton Triad of Victory.

So that was the buzz last week. Now, as digested by the Daily Caller, the New York Times reports on Democrats' determination to get her off the ticket.

Some Democratic Party officials have lost faith in Vice President Kamala Harris and believe she is in a lose-lose situation for the 2024 presidential election, according to The New York Times.

Harris' critics claim that whether President Joe Biden decides to run again in 2024 or not, it's a risk for a Democratic presidency. If Biden runs, opponents believe her name on the ballot could cost them the election, and if he doesn't run, they don't believe she is not a strong enough candidate to win on her own, the NYT reported, citing anonymous Democrats from the White House, Capitol Hill and across the country.

"That will be in my opinion one of the most hard-hitting arguments against Biden," John Morgan, a Democratic Party donor, told the NYT.

Now that Biden has insinuated that he intends to run again, the NYT reported many Democrats worry that Harris' name on the ticket as his running mate will deter voters. Their worries came after a FiveThirtyEight poll showed Harris' approval rating at 39%.

"I can't think of one thing she's done except stay out of the way and stand beside him at certain ceremonies," Morgan told the NYT.

If Biden doesn't run in 2024, many in the party hope to find ways to go around or "sideline" Harris without offending her or other members of the Democratic constituency, the NYT reported.

In fairness to Kumala, Democrats also don't want Biden on the ticket.

Only a small minority of Democrats want President Joe Biden to run for reelection in 2024, according to a Monday poll from the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Only 37% of Democrats want Biden to seek another term, compared to 52% last fall, according to the AP. Biden's support is heavily concentrated among older Democrats; 49% of Democrats over age 45 want him to run again compared to only 23% of those under 45.
