Democrats may ultimately regret their decision to kick Joe Biden to the curb in favor of Kamala Harris.
They could end up going to the Chicago convention with a candidate who polls even lower than Biden.
It’s not just that Harris is unpopular, it’s that the party is so quick to pull off this bait-and-switch operation and is only supported by powerful figures rather than voters, who are largely disenfranchised.
Breitbart News reported:
Democrats’ sudden, desperate move to ditch incumbent Joe Biden as their 2024 presidential candidate in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris as the front-runner is already showing signs of backfiring for their party and Directly affects the position of former President Trump, the Republican presidential candidate.
First, since the Trump-Biden debate in late June, Democrats have made a mad dash in the past few weeks to force the unwilling Biden to withdraw from the race, severely weakening Biden’s position to the point where he essentially has no advantage.
The move was so swift and swift, made by Democrats in a frantic panic about what the numbers were showing and the impact Biden’s weakness would have on their down-ballot prospects that the shift Full of despair…
As this most important initiative solidifies, it’s now increasingly clear that Democrats are backing Harris — just as they backed Biden before — which begs the question: Are they making a critical mistake? Early evidence suggests that, yes, they did.

What about this one?
Just 12 hours ago, the New York Times’ lead writer ranked Kamala Harris as the least electable of the 10 possible Democratic nominees. However, the selection process is over. If Harris loses, which seems more likely, party leaders will have a lot to explain. pic.twitter.com/xFowaJYUmH

Now they’re pretty much stuck with Harris. If they were to nominate someone else at the convention, they would be the third nominee in a few weeks, which would make them look like an absolute joke.
