In October of 2024, Ethel Kennedy passed away, leaving behind a political mess that didn’t bother anyone more than it bothered the Democratic Party. Joe Biden, long since cast aside from the ticket, was spotted having a heated conversation with former President Barack Obama. Eye witnesses reported that it wasn’t a pleasant exchange, likely because Biden’s departure meant all eyes were on Kamala Harris, who was proving to be as lost as a needle in a haystack. Polls showed Donald Trump refusing to lose steam, while Harris was left awkwardly trying to build momentum and failing miserably. Biden’s sentiments were picked up by lip readers when he suggested that Kamala just wasn’t as tough as him. That’s like saying a wet cardboard box is more durable than a tank.
Obama’s reaction to Biden’s observation appeared to be a mix of resignation and, perhaps, a smidgen of panic. His reassurance that “they had time” might have been him trying to convince himself. As it became evident to anyone with a functioning brain that time was not on their side, the demographics were swinging wildly away from the Democrats. Immigrant communities had shifted a whopping 23 points against them, and younger voters were flocking to Trump like moths to a flame. Meanwhile, blue-collar union workers were abandoning their party’s ship and scampering towards the MAGA lifeboat. The so-called “Obama coalition” was officially in ruins.

Unsurprisingly, new revelations surfaced indicating that Obama was actively maneuvering against Harris behind the scenes. Sources noted that he didn’t just want Biden out; he had grave doubts about Harris’s ability to lead the ticket. To put it plainly, he judged her presidential potential to be somewhere between non-existent and a complete joke. This sounds like a double whammy: not only did Obama not want Biden to continue, but he was also convinced that having Harris at the helm would be the political equivalent of jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Reports surfaced from political circles echoing that Obama had advocated for an open primary, evidently believing that Harris couldn’t muster the support to win. Rather than shaking the hands of a successor, he found himself stuck in an awkward spot where he was trying to jockey for a better candidate. The ardent support the Obamas eventually threw at Harris came only after Biden made his exit, and even then, it seemed tepid at best. It’s almost as if they wanted to ensure the endorsement’s timing was so awkward that Harris couldn’t help but squirm.
The slow-motion train wreck continued as it became more visible that Harris was not just lacking experience, but a clear political compass. Biden’s mantra of “no daylight between us, kid” was merely a cover for the fact that he was leaving her to sink or swim with his failing legacy. The underlying message was as obvious as a neon sign: with a candidate like Harris, whose political acumen was virtually nonexistent, the odds of success were about as likely as finding a unicorn in a cornfield. As the political landscape shifted underfoot, Harris stood out as a younger, yet equally clueless version of Biden, a scenario that had conservatives everywhere gleefully rubbing their hands in anticipation of the impending electoral disaster.
