When will Harris become President?

[Guest]

Does anyone believe Biden will make it through all 4 years of his presidency or will Harris take over?

The price of fuel option was a strange inclusion.

I'd guess he will serve the 4 and then Harris will be the next dem representative for the election.

Or is that "bad strategy?" Is it better for him to like serve 3.5 years, let her take over and hopefully impress and then she has a legitimacy to her bid?

Something like that anyway.

I actually think biden will do a decent job. He'll just be boring and uncontroversial. Well, actually, in America, where a huge number of people think he is a paedophile child killer, it's probably not possible for him to be "uncontroversial," but you know what I mean.

He'll focus on covid and the economy for a large chunk of the start of his presidency. It's hard to see him not drastically improving upon trump in that, and then he'll start a transition to Harris, I'd imagine.

Harris, if she can get elected, will be good, in my opinion. Not that an American president can be "good" in how I personally would like to see things, but good by my own opinion of what I expect from American presidents.

(Like Obama: did very few things I personally think of as "good policy" but ran the country well and was a good "statesman.")

I think President Biden will serve one full term, decline to run for reelection, and endorse Kamala Harris for the nomination in 2024. However, I do not think Harris will be the nominee - and I almost certainly would not cast a primary vote in her favor. If Harris is, indeed, the nominee, I think she will lose the general election.

I think this because I do not think Biden/Harris are going to rise to the demand to bring real change to Americans who have been hurting for a very long time. I think they'll tinker around the edges economically and focus on positive identity politics issues like women's rights and LGBTQIA+ rights (I agree that these are good, but they have a small effect when compared to economic change).

They've got 3 years to surprise me before it's time to start the primary process over again. Day 1 was a good start, but that was the easy part.

I’ll give him 2 years before he quits. He won’t be hiding out in his basement anymore and the stress will be too much. Even Politico had a story the other day about him not remembering a speech he made 2 weeks prior.

As far as I am concerned, VP Harris can get the job tomorrow. The election did what then people wanted, WE GOT RID OF A DISEASE KNOWN AS TRUMPISM. Time for the country to heal, not only from that disease but also the pandemic and a racial divide like I have never seen in my almost 70 years.
