Democ-Rat Race: Kamala Consolidates Power
A brief update as Biden stands alone in Detroit
Biden is currently speaking in the key swing state of Michigan (Detroit), as this update is being written.
He is not being introduced by popular Governor Gretchen Whitmer or even longtime Senator Gary Peters. Both had “scheduling conflicts” tonight.
The president is instead being introduced (by the looks of the hair) Patty & Selma. I don’t have any idea who this woman is: and that is precisely the problem. All the star power and money is running from Biden.
Earlier this week Cowtown Caller laid out the campaign to replace Biden. So far, nearly every prediction has been proven correct.

Here is the twist: forces are now consolidating.
While Biden insists that he’s still running, the Newsom-Harris-Whitmer tripartite is already measuring curtains and making alliances. Newsom has now pledged not to run against Harris if she seeks the presidency.
Given the fact that the constitution procedurally prohibits two candidates running from the same state on the same ticket, this has more than likely sidelined the California governor for this race. Although Newsom would never admit it, one can reasonably assume that this promise did not come without a guarantee he would be tapped for Secretary of State.
No one gives up a shot at the presidency without a sweetheart deal; 12th Amendment be damned.
This comes just one day after Biden was called out by the press for calling Harris “Vice President Trump” and then referring to Trump as “she.” The press conference where Biden made this gaff came just hours after the president pledged his support to “President Putin,” while standing with President Zelensky of the Ukraine.
As the press continues its campaign against Biden, the political aircover for someone to openly challenge the 46th president becomes stronger. The New Yorker recently ran the headline,“This Is What The Twenty-Fifth Amendment Was Designed For.”
The 25th Amendment was passed after John F. Kennedy’s assassination. It exists for situations where a president could be alive but incapacitated and unfit to discharge the duties of office. Since the presidency could only change hands through death or impeachment, the 25th Amendment created a means for the President to be discharged quickly if he went into a coma or suffered a similar disability.
To be lawfully invoked, it requires half of the cabinet and the authorization of the Vice President.
The New Yorker’s call came just days before the revelation that there has not been a full meeting of the cabinet since October.
Whatever happens next, it is clear the Democrat race to replace Biden is now Harris v Whitmer.
