Former Rep. Tim Ryan joins Morning Joe to discuss why he says it's time for President Biden to step aside and why he says VP Kamala Harris should be the nominee.
The first time Kamala Harris ran for president, the result could generously be described as mediocre. In a post-mortem for her 2020 presidential campaign, which ended before any votes had been cast, NBC News reported that her run “began with an explosion of enthusiasm but fizzled quickly.” Aside from a strong first debate performance — highlighted, ironically, by a clash with Joe Biden — Harris never broke out of the middle of the primary pack.
But independent voters might reasonably conclude that she would neither nod off in critical meetings nor erect a sign outside the Oval Office reading “Bribes Accepted Here.” And if she lost the election, she wouldn’t try to overthrow the government. Harris might carry the baggage of things voters don’t like about the Biden administration, but some of his problems wouldn’t transfer to her. Just by being energetic, she would be a step up from Biden as a campaigner.
