Debates have continued among Democrats about whether President Joe Biden is the best candidate for the 2024 election or whether an alternative Democratic leader might be more electable. While there’s no shortage of fellow Democratic leaders to choose from, President Biden and his supporters have continued to assert that Biden can and will win as the party’s nominee. And while other Democratic candidates might deliver key swing state wins in the Electoral College, only Kamala Harris can lawfully inherit all of Biden’s campaign funds.

Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Jordan Reid argues that it’s time for President Biden to exit his long career in public service with the highest honors, and for Kamala Harris to pick up the torch as the new Democratic candidate.

The following is an excerpt of the above video:

I don’t like any of this. This is not anyone’s concept of an ideal situation. But to stay on that sort of positive note, if Kamala becomes the nominee, I think she’d have a very good chance of galvanizing the youth/women/minority vote to a degree that could offset the misogynistic racists who would never vote for her. On the other side, should Trump win — which is not a future I want to see, but we have to address it as a possibility — that means that our government is broken. 

And you know what sometimes has to happen before things can come back together? They have to break, to show people in a very real way what they’ve signed up for and what they’re missing. To inspire them — especially, again, young people — to not just ask for change, but to demand it using whatever resources they have available to them.
