(BPR) A new poll should be a warning for those who are clamoring for VP Kamala Harris to replace the flailing President Joe Biden, she may not be the winning ticket that they believe she is.
With growing calls for the geriatric leader to step aside after his CNN debate dumpster fire, the loopy veep has emerged as the choice to go head to head with former President Donald J. Trump but while she may satisfy the party’s devotion to DEI, voters could have other thoughts.
According to the post-debate HarrisX poll that was published Friday, the presumptive GOP nominee is beating Harris by 7 points as the buzz builds that she could soon be bumped to the top of the Democrat ticket.

The same poll shows that Trump is leading Biden by only 4 points, which considering that Harris has consistently polled to be even more unpopular than her boss, shows that she may not be the silver bullet that her supporters are hoping.
Harris is “the top alternative” to replace Biden if he quits the race, according to a recent Reuters report, mainly because she would be able to take control of the campaign money that’s been sluicing into Biden’s coffers.
But there could be one issue that’s problematic for the ambitious Harris. More than anyone else, she has been complicit in the cover-up over Biden’s deteriorating mental state, something that has now become so obvious that no amount of media gaslighting can hide it anymore.
