Do Democrats know Kamala is doomed?
During a recent memorial service for Ethel Kennedy, President Biden and former President Obama were caught in an off-the-cuff conversation that raised eyebrows, particularly among political observers. A skilled lip reader deciphered their exchange, revealing Biden’s candid remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris: “She’s not as strong as me.” Obama reportedly agreed, acknowledging the sentiment with a simple, “that’s true.”
This private discussion highlights the apparent concerns within Democratic circles as they prepare for the upcoming election on November 5. Biden’s comments suggest a lack of confidence in Harris’s ability to rally the party and capture voter support—something many Republicans have pointed out over the last few years. The conversation occurred in a context where Biden, who had initially resisted calls to step aside, ultimately faced pressure to endorse Harris after significant dissent from his own party.
It’s important to recognize the implications of this dialogue. Many Democrats are privately worried that Harris lacks the political strength to challenge former President Donald Trump, who has shown a strong lead in several critical swing states according to the latest polling. States like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania are increasingly leaning toward Trump, despite Harris’s initial surge after assuming the nomination. This reality raises questions about the Democratic strategy moving forward.
Some insiders even floated the idea of an open convention to reconsider the ticket, showcasing the party’s growing unease. Meanwhile, Biden’s spokesperson dismissed the lip reading as partisan speculation. However, skepticism persists, especially among those who have witnessed the internal dynamics of the Democratic Party.
As we look ahead to the election, this unfolding narrative underscores the Republican advantage in terms of clarity and decisiveness. Voter sentiments indicate a desire for strong leadership, and the ongoing turmoil within the Democratic Party may very well play to the GOP’s favor. The election is shaping up to be not just a referendum on the candidates, but also on the effectiveness of their respective parties.
