Arr, Vice President Harris be swashbucklin' on the campaign trail, while poor President Biden be stuck in the crow's nest! She be showin' off her piratin' skills while ol' Joe be strugglin' to keep up. Aye, she be stealin' the show!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, it be said that Joe Biden be runnin' out of excuses, matey! Many a Democrat be tellin' him to walk the plank and end his quest for reelection, includin' friendly columnists like the New York Times’ Ezra Klein and Washington Post’s David Ignatius. But it be feared that if Biden be gone, the less popular Kamala Harris would take his place as the 2024 Democratic candidate for president.Arrr, but times be changin'! Vice President Harris be out gallivantin', showin' the kind of vigor and energy that ol' Biden can't muster. She be meetin' with women's groups, talkin' about abortion, and Black groups, discussin' racial justice. She be sailin' to swing states, handin' out booty and programs, givin' credit to the Biden-Harris White House – with a nod to Harris – for passin' those grand spendin' bills at the heart of the campaign.Ah, Harris be makin' a good case that she can carry on the Obama/Biden agenda and that she be fit to serve four more years. If Biden be unpopular due to his age, Harris be a fine upgrade, be she not? Her approval ratings be betterin', especially among Black voters, who have turned away from Biden like rats leavin' a sinkin' ship.As the first of the presidential debates nears, the whispers among Democrats be growin' louder. If Biden be a disaster, they could swap him out for another candidate at the convention. The polls show Trump be gainin' ground, and the down-ballot candidates be nervously eyein' the horizon.But could they truly ditch ol' Biden? Aye, they could, with 4,000 delegates and 700 Super Delegates able to pick another candidate if the winds be blowin' in that direction. Harris be sharpenin' her cutlass and standin' ready, for if the convention be opened to new possibilities, she be the likely victor. It be a risky move, but as history shows, desperate times call for desperate measures. Arrr!
