Fox News Chief Correspondent Chad Pergram said on Tuesday on the channel that a source in Congress told him to get familiar with the process for confirming a vice president in the middle of a term, suggesting that President Joe Biden may look to ditch Vice President Kamala Harris soon.
Harris has even worse approval ratings than Biden, just 28% in a recent poll, and has generally been seen as incompetent in regards to tasks assigned to her like the border and various diplomatic trips overseas.
“As you know, I appreciate congressional process and mechanics. So I got a message recently from someone who knows Capitol Hill very well and they suggested I should familiarize myself with the process to confirm a vacancy for the vice president in the Senate and in the House,” Pergram told host Jesse Watters.
“I was very surprised to get that very cryptic email just a few weeks ago,” Pergram added.
Unusual circumstances
The last president to confirm a new vice president was Gerald Ford, who had to appoint a new VP when he took over for Richard Nixon, who resigned when the Watergate scandal broke almost 50 years ago.
In this case, though, no external circumstance is in the offing. Biden may just want to dump Harris because she is even more incompetent than he is, which is saying a lot.
He may even see replacing her as a game-changer that could turn his own poor approval ratings around.
Harris seemed to be the most viable candidate for VP that Biden could find in the summer of 2020, considering he pledged to choose a black woman as his running mate.
Tension with VP
Harris claims that she and Biden have a good relationship, but tension has been reported between the two and their respective staffs.
It has been reported previously that Harris did not treat some staff well, but this goes beyond all of that.
We could have told Democrats that the intersectional method of choosing candidates was never really going to work out well.
Better that they figure that out now before we end up with a President Kamala Harris.
