Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and it's
0:04
looking like Kamala Harris is prepared to take the top spot on the Democrat
0:09
ticket away from Joe Biden. Before we get started please make sure you like

0:23
about what's going on with the Biden campaign that's going to be uploaded today in the members only section so if you want to be a member and you support

Donald Trump hit that join button and become a member of this channel. So
0:34
what's going on right now with Kamala Harris is some of her staff is getting
0:38
antsy. This is according to this report the best three weeks she's ever had as
0:43
vice president. Why? Because she's the heir apparent. Now there's more to that
0:48
that I'm gonna have in the members video but the point is she's the heir apparent
0:53
right now. She's the one that has access to the fundraising money. She's the one that's already on the ticket and voters actually voted for her. So if they don't
0:59
want to get around democracy and of course I've said this before I'll say it
1:04
again if you skip over to first black female vice president to go pick a white
1:09
man let's say I think you're gonna destroy your your votes with women and
1:16
your votes in the black community. But her staff believes that she's made one
1:22
mistake during this whole time. A big mistake that could cost her and could be
1:27
a career-ruiner. I want you to watch this video and I want you to let me know what
1:31
you think about it in the comments. Yeah and that anger was evident last night
1:36
with some very forceful and specific pushback from members of the Biden team
1:40
about some reporting that the president had decided to step out away from the
1:45
race. He is again his team is saying that is not the case he is still in this. We
1:49
know he is currently recovering at his beach home in Rehoboth after COVID as
1:54
the pressure mounts and certainly the walls do seem like they're closing in
1:58
and the lack the fundraising drying up these influential Democrats pushing him
2:03
toward the door. Remains to be seen if that just perhaps stiffens the president's resolve to stay in or whether his inner circle and the
2:09
president himself eventually bow to the reality that he can't win. One of the
2:13
things that the president has cited that he will inform his decision as to
2:17
whether or not he thinks he's shown data that someone else can beat Donald
2:22
Trump and that's someone else in particular his vice president Kamala Harris and Michael Schmidt even doing a lot of reporting on the vice president
2:29
and this delicate dance that she and her team have to conduct right now where
2:34
they are publicly fully supportive of President Biden. I know that's been well
2:38
received in the West Wing but of course she and her allies recognize that if the
2:42
president does step aside there could be an opportunity here but as Willie just
2:46
noted we don't know what would happen next if suddenly there's a vacancy at the
2:50
top of the ticket whether President Biden would say look I want you to go to my running mate or whether this is some sort of open open contest
2:58
Yeah what would it what would that path look like what you know what is the
3:02
precedent for it and how much time is left on the clock for you know to do
3:08
that could you and how would that be done at the convention. What we wrote
3:13
about yesterday was about how this is behind the scenes been a bit messy
3:18
there have been different flare-ups where the vice president's staff has been concerned that in the process of trying to prop up the president's you
3:28
know chances of winning that they've denigrated the vice president or that
3:33
they were going to denigrate the vice president in one instance learning that
3:37
a staffer from the White House Legislative Affairs Office had been talking to a member of Congress and had that may have you know basically said
3:47
the vice president doesn't have good enough chances of winning that's why
3:52
Biden has to stay in the race and this made its way all the way to the White
3:55
House Chief of Staff who had to send out warnings to West Wing officials that
4:00
look if you know we need to be very careful in how we discuss the vice
4:05
president here because of this unusual situation we need to be able to to
4:10
advocate for the president without denigrating the vice president because you know the bite you know I don't think the the White House Chief of Staff said
4:19
what I'm about to say but because the vice president could be the person on the ticket and that's really hard of you know thing to navigate and they've had
4:28
to to really confront that in the past three weeks as they've done this dance
4:33
and as the vice president has probably had the best you know three weeks of her
4:38
time in office where she has really found her footing and been out there as
4:43
sort of the tip of the spear for the campaign
