Biden is president in name only so Harris can duck blame for their joint debacles

Here’s a question galore Americans are asking: Who precisely is moving this country? 

The existent president is hardly seen. 

Last week, Joe Biden took a five-day play at his Delaware formation house (again) portion Iran threatened to onslaught Israel, conscionable days aft the Dow fell much than 1,000 points successful the aftermath of a lousy jobs report.

On Wednesday, his full nationalist docket consisted of a 15-minute drop-by astatine a White House economical league and a 4 p.m. gathering to person his regular quality briefing.

Yes, 4 p.m. 

We person a deteriorating president who is successful the governmental mentation of the witnesser extortion program, prevention for uncommon exceptions.

He should have resigned from office weeks ago, the infinitesimal helium announced helium wasn’t moving again. 

Because reply this: How tin this antheral beryllium president for the adjacent 5 months erstwhile he’s tacitly admitted helium can’t beryllium president for the consequent 4 years? 

In August frankincense far, Biden has held precisely 1 nationalist lawsuit extracurricular of the White House, erstwhile helium flew to New Orleans connected Tuesday to a crab halfway to speech astir his “moonshot” initiative.

Otherwise, for the archetypal fractional of this month, he’s spent 8 days lounging astatine the beach. 

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris for the past 3 weeks has stuck to performing the aforesaid stump speech astatine swing-state run rallies portion avoiding immoderate questions of substance.

All Americans, careless of governmental ideology, merit truthful overmuch amended than this. 

But there’s a precise bully crushed wherefore Biden hasn’t resigned: Because unnamed powers successful the Democratic Party don’t privation Harris to beryllium enactment successful a presumption of responsibility for this administration’s disastrous record connected the economy, inflation, wages, crime, the borderline and a satellite seemingly connected fire. 

If we were talking about President Harris, she would person nary prime but to ain this bid wreck and support it, having played a large relation successful creating it arsenic Biden’s partner. 

“As you person seen them successful the past 3½ years, they’ve been partners, captious partners,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday.

“It doesn’t substance if it is home issues, besides overseas argumentation issues,” she insisted.

“And that has been the lawsuit from Day 1 and continues to beryllium the case.” 

President Harris couldn’t get distant with doing thing but speeches successful places similar Michigan and Wisconsin.

President Harris would person to really govern and marque decisions — and beryllium held accountable done these overseas concepts known arsenic press conferences and interviews. 

It’s besides noteworthy that Biden hasn’t campaigned with Harris successful immoderate capacity.

There’s bully crushed for that: His ain vice president is moving distant from him — not lone from him personally, but from his toxic policies.

And wherefore wouldn’t she region herself from debacles like, say, Bidenomics arsenic overmuch arsenic possible?

Especially erstwhile our corrupt media isn’t doing their basal homework to comparison the rhetoric of Vice President Harris and Candidate Harris? 

Veep Harris, August 2023: “We are precise arrogant of Bidenomics.”

Candidate Harris, August 2024: “Our program volition little costs and prevention galore middle-class families thousands of dollars a year.”

Get it?

The campaigner who has been successful powerfulness for 3½ years — and who has repeatedly praised the show of this horrible system during that clip — now has a program to little costs.

But lone if she becomes president. 

You can’t marque this up. 

Across astir each issue, mostly done unnamed run aides, Kamala is moving distant from her own past argumentation positions and rhetoric, due to the fact that those positions are profoundly unpopular with immoderate common-sense voter. 

Banning fracking and fossil fuels won’t beryllium good successful Pennsylvania, for example.

Mandating electrical cars won’t alert successful Michigan.

Abolishing ICE, supporting sanctuary cities, offering escaped healthcare to illegals and raising taxes — each positions Harris has taken loudly and proudly — would beryllium governmental termination if she were to treble down connected them today. 

And that’s wherefore Biden remains successful power, successful sanction astatine least. 

Because by doing so, Kamala the Chameleon tin traipse disconnected connected her ain mentation of the Eras Tour, arsenic a fawning media cheers each her speech astir the large changes she’ll marque connected Day 1. 

Despite, you cognize . . . having had each these years to hole the crises she and her brag created.
