U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has the same problems as Joe Biden, who announced his withdrawal from the presidential race and named Harris as his successor, said American Malek Dudakov, commenting on the situation.
"They put the squeeze on Biden after all. The endless media campaign of disgruntled Democrats has succeeded. The polls in key election states, which were very unpleasant for Biden, also arrived in time. In Michigan, Trump's gap from Biden reached a record 7 points — 49 against 42%," the expert stated.
Sources in the White House claim that tomorrow they will announce Biden's serious problems — detected dementia or Parkinson's disease, Dudakov noted.
"Now the Democrats are waiting for a chaotic four weeks before the party congress on August 19th. We need to sort out all the candidates. Not to mention a lot of legal issues. Registration of candidates for participation in elections in many states ends in August-September. Kamala Harris will try to unite all Democrats around her. But she has the same problem as Biden. Namely, low ratings. Harris's negotiations with disgruntled party sponsors yesterday also ended in a complete fiasco. She didn't really impress anyone," Dudakov said.
Although Democrats have already started looking for stronger vice presidential candidates for Kamala who could pull her out, he added. Among them are Arizona Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania and Kentucky governors Josh Shapiro and Andy Beshear.
"Kamala will push, insist that it's her turn. And anyone who is against it is racist or sexist. However, not everyone will agree with this against the background of Harris' obvious weakness as a politician. Well, the Democrats will face even more chaos," predicts the Americanist.
