Well, it's a summer weekend, and a holiday weekend, and unless Japan attempts re-attack Pearl Harbor in a fit of nostalgia, there should be anything too big to worry about.  So the news industry has to find stuff they might ordinarily ignore or suppress, and it has to sell over the hot weekend.  The editors are thus giving us an ample supply of Washington's latest sacrifice, Kamala Harris.  And it is clear that the stuff on Kami is coming from Democrats, Democrats, and more Democrats.  From Fox: 

Democrats, including some Biden administration officials, are reportedly so concerned about Vice President Kamala Harris’s missteps that they don’t believe she could beat a Republican in 2024 if she were to be the nominee – even if her opponent was former President Donald Trump.

Democrats close to the White House told Axios they’re concerned about Harris’s mishandling of politically sensitive issues and "political tone deafness," the outlet reported Friday.

 The vice president was widely panned by the right for her months-long refusal to visit the southern border after she was designated to run point on the migrant surge.

One liberal operative told Axios that most Democrats aren’t saying "'Oh, no, our heir apparent is f---ing up, what are we gonna do?" but instead think "Oh, she’s f---ing up, maybe she shouldn't be the heir apparent.'"

Biden aides still believe he will be the nominee in 2024 but realize the president would be 81 when seeking re-election. Harris, the first Black and Asian woman to hold the vice presidency, would be a shoo-in for the nomination if the Biden stepped aside.

COMMENT:  The Dems are paying the price for that corrupt practice known as identity politics.   When she ran as a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, Harris had to withdraw before a single vote was cast because, even after months of campaigning, she was at three percent in the polls.   She suffered from terminal obnoxia.  It was politically fatal.  Fortunately, it was covered by Obamacare.

The only reason Biden resurrected Harris was because the left wing of the party demanded a "woman of color" in the vice presidential slot.  She was in stock, but it was quickly obvious that her obnoxia had not been cured.  You may recall that she spent most of the campaign in hiding. 

I think it's unlikely that Biden will be available, one way or the other, for a second term.  Because of racial and gender politics, Harris is the obvious frontrunner for the presidential nomination.  But that's before she opens her mouth.  If the party nominates her, the powers may have to send her on a three-month "secret mission" for world peace.  I can see the campaign slogan:  "She serves in danger while the white Republican campaigns."  If that doesn't work, she can get a top vote getter for her own vice presidential pick.  How about Harris/Trump?
