Could Kamala Harris, despite a potential defeat as the Democratic candidate in the U.S. presidential election, still ascend to the presidency? Speculation is rising, especially among Democrats, that Harris could assume the president’s role if Joe Biden steps down before the end of his term.
The demand isn’t about preventing Trump from taking office if he wins but rather urging Biden to resign and let Harris serve as president before Trump’s inauguration on January 20. According to the U.S. Constitution, a new president has a buffer period of about four months to assume office, but Biden could potentially pass the reins to Harris sooner, providing an opportunity to make history with America’s first female president.
Supporters and political commentators have voiced this idea on TV and social media, suggesting that Biden step down and give Harris at least two and a half months in office, marking her as the 47th president of the United States.
While Biden’s response remains unknown, the question lingers: will America’s dream of a female president come true, even for a short time? Only time will tell if this wish to see Kamala Harris in the Oval Office, however briefly, will be fulfilled.
