Kamala Harris could be 'sidelined' by fellow Dems if Biden exits 2024 presidential race

Fund explained how “one way or another, through gentle or harsh persuasion”, Biden’s fellow Democrats would find a way to ask the President to step aside in the 2024 presidential race.

However, when asked whether Kamala Harris would make a worse replacement for Biden, Fund warned that should the President be forced out of the race by his own party, Democrats would also try to “sideline” the Vice President too.

“There's a famous phrase beggars can't be choosers,” Fund explained.

“I would say, though, that there'll also be an attempt to try to sideline Kamala Harris.”

Fund went on to explain how dropping the Vice President could turn voters away from the Democratic Party.

“Now that's awkward,” Fund continued, “because she's both black and a woman and of course those are two very important constituencies of the Democratic Party.

“So there's a theory that while normally someone like California Governor Gavin Newsom would be first in line if it were not Kamala Harris, that perhaps that would be another boring white male and that might not make the party happy.

“So Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who's a female, is being talked about as a potential Democratic candidate, and she could pick as her Vice Presidential nominee one of the black elected officials from a major state like Governor Wes Moore of Maryland.

“No one has heard of him, but he would be African American and might placate some of the Democratic constituencies.”

His comments come after the Democrat Party won several key state elections earlier this week.

Voters cast ballots to choose governors in Kentucky and Mississippi, decide legislative control in Virginia and New Jersey, and determine whether the Ohio state constitution should protect abortion rights.

Polling indicates that the President remains deeply unpopular among large swathes of the country, with concerns among Democrats that the 80-year-old is hindering his party's chances of success in 2024.

Speaking on the result of the state elections, Fund said: “The Democrats can be mildly encouraged by the results and the Republicans can be mildly discouraged.

“A lot of the Republican reversals will be ascribed to the abortion issue. I think that did play a role, but it's probably exaggerated.

“What I think was more important was the superior Democratic financial and get out the vote effort.

“And it turns out that a lot of these elections revolved around local issues, not President Biden's popularity.”
