“Chatter Has Already Reached Top Levels”: Is Cackling Kamala Going to be Booted from the 2024 Ticket? [VIDEO]
HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” host Bill Maher recently implored Democrats to remove VP Kamala Harris from the Democrat’s 2024 ticket, saying that such a move needs to happen because she is “a bad politician” and “not very popular anywhere.”
He began that by saying that Democrats might not kick Biden off the ticket but could very well remove the generally unpopular VP. In his words:
“It’s very hard to take the nomination away from the president. What I could see is replacing the vice president because she’s not very popular anywhere. And it didn’t seem to work out. And I don’t know. That’s been done before in a ticket.”
Responing to Maher, the guest, Atlantic writer Caitlin Flanagan, agreed with Maher and said that Kamala is both an “off-putting person” and has “a lot of baggage that probably wouldn’t do well under a lot of scrutiny.” That reference to Kamala’s “baggage” is likely her reported affair with San Francisco Mayor Wille Brown when she was starting to climb the career ladder and the harsh stance she took on low-level drug offenses, baggage which doesn’t play well with large segments of the electorate.
Agreeing in his response back to Flanagan, Maher argued that Kamala is both “a bad politician”, saying:
“I just think she’s a bad politician. And I don’t … I think she’s a very bright person. But I can see them doing that because a lot of the problem with Biden being old is, ‘Oh, if he dies then you know you’re gonna get this person.’ OK, so here’s the problem with the Democratic party. They’re so boxed in by identity politics that you cannot conceive of a Democratic ticket that doesn’t have a woman and person of color on it.”
