Karine Jean-Pierre Says What We All Knew About Kamala Harris

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said “the quiet part out loud” in her first press conference since President Joe Biden’s calamitous debate on CNN.

During it, she revealed that Democrats really can’t find anyone remotely competent to be the future of the party. “One of the reasons why he picked the vice president, President [sic] Kamala Harris, is because she is indeed the future of the party,” Jean-Pierre said.

Harris is the least popular Vice President in the history of modern polling, which should make her the dumbest possible choice for the party. Then again, maybe Jean-Pierre named her because all the other Democrats are somehow worse.

The 81-year-old is determined to stay in the race and face Republican challenger Donald Trump at November’s elections. Nevertheless, Democrats have privately discussed an emergency successor for Biden, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom among the potential candidates.

Should the President choose to step aside, it’s likely that he will have an overriding say in the Democratic Party’s nominee to take on Trump. Despite a dismal approval rating, Vice President Kamala Harris is the likely heir-apparent should the incumbent stand aside.

Biden has long considered himself a “transition”’” candidate prior to the party (presumably) nominating someone who isn’t in their 80’s to lead the country. As such, Harris is the likely successor – a belief which was all-but confirmed by Press Secretary Jean-Pierre on Wednesday.

“One of the reasons why he picked the vice president… is because she is indeed the future of the party,” she told reporters. “He is very proud to have partnered with her and to continue partnering with her in delivering an unprecedented record for the American people.”

Harris’ lack of popularity was matched on X as users responded to Jean-Pierre’s remarks.

Others remained skeptical over Harris’ appointment which many see as a DEI hire to secure the left-wing vote.
