Since the knives are out in a force play now, thanks to Schiff, Pelosi, Clooney, and the rest of the whole mess of “get outers”, Biden has a maneuver he can employ. All of the people who want Biden to get out haven’t the faintest idea who to install or how to do it.
The best way in my humble opinion, would be for Biden to step down now. Harris becomes the incumbent and chooses Katie Porter as her VP. That would scorch both Pelosi’s and Schiff’s socks. Katie can move to DC and satisfy her residency requirements, she lost to Schiff in the primary so she needn’t stay in California, and she’d be living in the Observatory once Harris picks her to fill her spot.
Find Schiff a cabinet position after Harris wins the election and then Newsome can appoint somebody we like to the Senate seat.
This isn’t to say I agree with the “get outers” or their methods. I don’t.
But these two women, these two lawyers, would literally be a dynamic duo.
