Sorry but what do you see as the difference?
I think she gets a huge bounce if she's the President thrust into a role she did not ask for or seek. It's a pretty typical human reaction to cheer for people forced by circumstance into an unexpected role. I think she also gets four months to show that she's Presidential material.
So that's the pragmatic part. I also believe that President Biden has shown he's incapable of governing, and that we have rules regarding that situation. In fact that's why we have the position of VP.
She sought it in 2019 (ran for the office) but dropped out early in the primaries.
And she's seeking it again right now. Wtf is this person even talking about?
Literally you're are correct, figuratively, I think I'm in pretty solid ground.
I understand your idea with your first paragraph, but it also ties Harris down to the White House instead of freeing her to campaign, and get her own name out there. If there are any events beyond her control, while she's President, she would also be on the hook for those.
Biden's actually pretty good and he is, or at least his staff is, getting a lot of positive things done, as long as he's off camera. That's been true throughout his career.
