Joe Biden is staring down the barrel of history, and the view isn’t pretty. His presidency will likely be remembered as a one-term flop, overshadowed by a resurgent Donald Trump and a Democratic Party in disarray. But Biden may have one last trick up his sleeve to etch his name into the history books—and it could rock the nation to its core.
What if he resigns before January 20th, handing Kamala Harris the presidency for just a few weeks? For Biden, it would be a gamble to salvage his legacy. For America, it would be a betrayal of democratic principles.
The Glass Ceiling Gambit
Democrats have long championed Kamala Harris as a trailblazer, but the reality is less glamorous. Her time as vice president has been marked by record-low approval ratings and a near-total absence from public discourse. Voters resoundingly rejected her in 2024, choosing Trump over a second Harris-Biden term.
Yet, by resigning and making Harris the 47th president, even temporarily, Biden could give the left their prized “first female president” moment. Never mind that it’s a technicality—liberals would cheer this as a historic breakthrough, conveniently ignoring the will of the voters who clearly said “no” to a Harris presidency.
Trump, the 48th President?
Here’s where it gets even more cynical. If Biden steps aside, Harris becomes the 47th president. That means Donald Trump, when inaugurated on January 20th, would be the 48th president—not the 47th as he’s already been branding himself.
For a man who thrives on symbolism, this could be a minor blow to Trump’s messaging machine. “45” and “47” have been key rallying cries for his supporters. Now, Democrats could gleefully strip that from him, forcing a rebrand and turning what should be Trump’s triumphant return into a petty numbers game.
The Real Loser: Democracy
This isn’t just about trolling Trump—it’s about undermining the voters. Kamala Harris lost the election fair and square. Her presidency, even for a few weeks, would be nothing more than a political stunt, cheapening the office and eroding trust in our institutions.
Worse, it would expose the Biden administration’s true priorities: symbolism over substance. Americans struggling with inflation, border security, and international threats wouldn’t get solutions—they’d get a headline-grabbing gimmick.
Could It Happen?
While this scenario sounds far-fetched, it’s entirely in line with the Biden administration’s track record. They’ve proven time and again that optics matter more than outcomes. From empty promises to shameless virtue signaling, this White House thrives on theatrics.
Republicans should prepare for the possibility that Biden could pull this move. If he does, it will be up to the GOP to hold the line, reminding Americans why they rejected Kamala Harris and the Democratic agenda in the first place.
A Final Act of Desperation
Joe Biden’s presidency is coming to an unceremonious end. But if he chooses to go out in a blaze of legacy-making glory, he could betray the very principles of democracy in the process. Kamala Harris as the 47th president? It’s a political stunt that America doesn’t need—and one that conservatives must be ready to confront.
