Vice President Kamala Harris‘ former communications director floated a wild plan to make her the first female commander-in-chief — all President Biden has to do is resign.
Jamal Simmons, who served as part of Harris’ team from 2022 until 2023, urged Biden to step aside so that Harris could make history — even despite her massive defeat to President-elect Donald Trump.
“Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfill one last promise — to be transitional. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first woman president,” Simmons posted on X.
“It’d turn [the] tables on Trump, keep Kamala from presiding over Jan. 6 make it easier for next woman to run.”
The former spox-turned-CNN commentator made a similar plea on air Sunday, prompting laughter from his conservative colleague Scott Jennings.
“It would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public wanna see is the time,” Simmons said on the air.
“This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate.”
Biden, 81, had already helped Harris, 60, make history when he tapped her to be the first female vice president.
