OPINION:
Votes for a vice president who is on a ticket with a presidential candidate are really votes for the presidential candidate. Only secondarily are they votes for the person chosen to be second in command should the candidate win.
Kamala Harris did not get the vote to be president in 2020, and she has not gotten it in 2024. Her tenure as President Biden’s vice president does not confer on her any votes to be president.
The Democratic Party has usurped Mr. Biden’s 2024 nomination and without the consent of a single voter given it to Ms. Harris. Her twisting the arms of Mr. Biden’s primary elected delegates to support her does not meet the requirement of a Democratic Party candidate winning the majority of primary votes.
The term “coup” has been repeated in the mainstream media, and I believe it pretty much sums up what is taking place within the Democratic Party today.
Citizens of the United States and all those who want to be citizens of the United States must be aware of the great travesty that the Democratic Party is committing this election cycle. Ms. Harris is an interloper with no standing to be a presidential candidate and she ought to be treated as such.
