Considering Kamala Harris’s fitness to take over from Joe Biden should the need arise, a top aide to the former California senator’s 2020 campaign said: “This person should not be president of the United States.”
Harris saw heavy staff turnover, with aides describing a toxic climate riven with factionalism and mismanagement. One source who worked for the vice-president declined to go on record or even discuss matters anonymously, due to the heated atmosphere around the office.
“They refused to characterise the experience of working for Harris, apart from offering a three-word assessment. It was, they said: ‘Game of Thrones’.”
I actually like Biden, but really think he should drop Harris and pick up a different VP pick. She’s been nothing but dead weight for this administration. It’s not without precedent, it’s been done before. If anything, he could go with Michelle Obama and they could just re-use the same Obama/Biden campaign signs they had from before.
Why did he even choose her in the first place? If the goal was to have a woman of color on the ticket, there were so many other and better options.
Would she do it though?

Ugh, this timeline has too many reboots
…a top aide to the former California senator’s 2020 campaign said: “This person should not be president of the United States.”
Cool story, bro. You don’t get to tell me what to think.
I get that there’s some value in listening to the opinions of people who were close to her, but this is still just one opinion from one person. I don’t particularly care about her being President, but I think she’d be orders of magnitude better than the entire Republican lineup.
Now there’s some people who should never be President of the US, and you don’t have to be a “top aid” to grasp that.
I was saying that in the 2020 primary. All you really need to know here:

The big danger is another “Her turn” election in '28 which she can’t win.
I doubt she will run for prez in 28. If she does, it would surprise me if she won the primaries.
Lord I hope not, but if Uncle Joe wins, then steps aside to position her for '28, there might not be a primary. Or it will be a nominal primary like in '16.
It would surprise me if she won honest primaries.
I don’t think we’re ever going to see another 2008, where party leadership’s selection is allowed to be rejected by primary voters in favor of a more exciting candidate that people actually want to vote for.

It just never stops with you guys.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Considering Kamala Harris’s fitness to take over from Joe Biden should the need arise, a top aide to the former California senator’s 2020 campaign said: “This person should not be president of the United States.”
In fact, Harris made a strong start to the Democratic primary in 2019, landing memorable blows on Biden in the first debate when she brought up the veteran senator and former vice-president’s historic opposition to “busing”, a way of compelling racial integration in public schools.
Polling, however, shows widespread concern that at 81, Biden is too old to properly prosecute a potentially historic campaign, with Donald Trump seemingly set to be the Republican nominee once more.
Republicans, particularly Trump’s closest challenger, Nikki Haley, have made the prospect of her taking power a central campaign theme.
Walker and Luppen report speculation that Harris could line up a 2028 bid on a ticket with Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary who won the Iowa caucuses in 2020.
But alleged people problems, familiar from reports about Harris’s campaign and her time as vice-president, also surface in Walker and Luppen’s book.
