If Harris gets her dream job as POTUS, she'd be tempting fate to appoint Hillary to the position that's just one more Arkancide away from her ultimate dream job. Besides, it would have to get through the evenly split Senate. Given all the dissatisfaction toward Sleepy Joe in polls and given that mid-term elections generally favor the party out of power, the evenly split Senate will likely have a GOP majority. Do you really think Senate Republicans would allow that? She is more feared than Darth Vader.Is Hillary going to get appointed under Kamala Harris or worse??
When Spiro Agnew resigned the VP position under Richard Nixon, congress was controlled by Democrats. They had to allow someone to be chosen for VP. (Back then, the media asked tough questions and demanded answers.) The Democrats wanted to pick someone who was politically weak enough to be beaten in 1976. They negotiated with Nixon to get Gerald Ford - who fit that bill perfectly. That strategy worked for them. As such, some formulation of that same strategy will be adopted by the Senate. I’d expect a political milk-toast to emerge as Harris’ VP.
No matter what, don’t expect any action on this front for the next 15 months … regardless of Sleepy Joe’s abilities to carry forth the demands of the Office.
