When President Biden courageously ended his reelection bid, he gave Democrats a golden opportunity to win in November. Now, many Democratic leaders and delegates seem intent on squandering that opportunity by rushing to make Vice President Harris the party’s nominee.
Their aim is to coalesce quickly around Ms. Harris as the heir apparent and forestall a nomination fight at the party’s convention next month. But for all her achievements and admirable service, Ms. Harris carries all the baggage of the Biden administration.
She, like Mr. Biden, has been trailing Donald Trump in polling and is unlikely to carry the handful of states — Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania — where this election will be decided. Democrats should take a deep breath and consider their options. If they are guided by data and political instinct, they can choose the candidate most likely to defeat Mr. Trump.
Name calling like saying Trump and Vance and their supporters are “weird” is playground nonsense.
I have yet to hear one thing that a President Harris will do once she is elected.
