*Short Circuiting A Surge*By Christopher M Peeks October 31, 2024
,*The Anger With in*
I'll wager that anger erupted inside Vice President Kamala Harris, like Old Faithful bursting forth a powerful geyser of fury that spewed forth resentment and frustration. The venomous words flowing from the tongues of the Harris campaign staff did not do justice for the contempt they felt for Joe Biden. I bet she calle
d that old man everything but a child of God during the ensuing phone call. Who could blame her?
*Short Circuiting A Surge*
Talk about short-circuiting a surge. The 2024 Democratic nominee may very well go on to win this year's presidential contest, but if the vice president loses, this moment in time will stand out. With the stage set, Harris could not ask for a better moment. With the Trump campaign under fire because of a comedian's comments at the 2024 republican nominee's Madison Square Garden rally, she gave her closing argument to the voters.
*Sabotage*
The Veep had arguably her best moment of the 2024 campaign. Then, much to her chagrin for lack of a better statement, President Biden steals her thunder, which is not the first time he has undermined Harris. From the hurricane response to saying she's helped with every decision and now this, nothing you can say will convince me that the President is not doing this purposely.
*Biden's Vengeance*
In his heart of hearts, Joe Biden does not want to see Kamala Harris follow him into the Oval Office. The Democratic leadership spearheaded by former President Obama forced "Union Joe" out, and now he is seeking revenge. If President Biden's going down he is taking the Democratic ticket with him. Can you fault him?
*No Christmas Cards*
I do not foresee Harris and Biden being on speaking terms, no matter how this plays out. Furthermore, I am sure the writers who prepared the vice president's speech will not be helping the outgoing president with his farewell address. Can you imagine if you had worked on that speech for weeks and then for him to pull that stunt?
*Conclusion*
The inauguration will be awkward in any event. I wonder what kind of dig "The Donald" will offer if he is there? Stay tuned. Election 2024 is not over yet.
