Jamal Simmons, former communications director for Vice President Harris, said Sunday President Biden could fulfill being a 'transitional figure' by resigning.
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - FEBRUARY 03: U.S. President Joe Biden and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris hold hands onstage after speaking at the Democratic National Committee winter meeting on February 03, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He told a panel on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Biden could fulfill a promise of being a “transitional figure” by letting Harris replace him. Doing so would absolve Harris from the responsibility of certifying President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over her. It would also change the perspective of how Democrats work, according to Simmons.
CNN anchor Dana Bash told Simmons the idea has “jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning show,” adding that she thought he was going to discuss the Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor has been urged to resign so Biden can nominate a younger judge.
