Call for Biden's Resignation to Empower Harris as First Female President

A former staff member of Vice President Kamala Harris, Jamal Simmons, has publicly suggested that President Joe Biden should resign to fulfill a promise of being a transitional figure, thus allowing Harris to serve as the first female president of the United States.

A former aide to Vice President Kamala Harris, Jamal Simmons, has called on President Joe Biden to step down from his office, permitting Harris to make history as the first female president.

Simmons, the ex-communications director for Harris, made the suggestion via a social media post and reiterated it during a televised interview on CNN's 'Situation Room'. He praised Biden for his presidency but emphasized the fulfillment of a final promise — to act as a transitional leader.

Expressing strategic political motivations, Simmons argued such a move could counteract Donald Trump and keep Harris from overseeing any January 6 proceedings. The transition would highlight Democratic values of drama and transparency while easing the path for future female candidates by setting a precedent. Despite Harris losing to Donald Trump, Simmons sees this as an opportunity for transformational change.
