During an interview over the weekend, Jamal Simmons, a former communications director for Kamala Harris, reportedly stated that President Joe Biden should resign in order for Vice President Kamala Harris to assume the presidency.
While debating Harris’ defeat to President-elect Donald Trump last week, Simmons made the comments during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“Joe Biden’s been a phenomenal president. He’s lived up to so many of the promises he’s made. There’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure. He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris the president of the United States.” he stated.
“It would absolve him from having to oversee the January 6 transition, right, of her own defeat. And it would make sure that — it would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public want to see.” he added.
“This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate,” Simmons continued.
Simmons also suggested that Harris could potentially be nominated to the Supreme Court.
“Well, the Supreme Court might happen. I don’t know if it will, but I think this is something that’s in Joe Biden’s control.” he remarked.
“And if he did it, it would — again, it would fulfill his promise, his last promise. It would give Kamala Harris the chance to be the 47th president of the United States of America. It would disrupt all of Donald Trump’s paraphernalia, right? He would have to rebrand everything.” Simmons concluded.
