“For the good of the country, Biden and Harris should bow out of the 2024 election”: Washington Post Op-Ed

George Will wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post calling for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to not run again in 2024 for the good of the country.

Will urged the Dems to dump Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as candidates for the 2024 presidential election because they risk putting Trump back in power if they run the two duds again.

Will said Biden is “past his prime” and Harris is “unqualified to be considered as his successor,” so they should get out before it is too late. Will said of Biden:

“Meeting recently with some progressive activists, Biden said his $426 billion student loan forgiveness was accomplished by “a law” that he had “just signed”: “I got it passed by a vote or two.” No. He. Did. Not.

“Biden was not merely again embellishing his achievements. This is not just another of his verbal fender benders. There is no less-than-dismaying explanation for his complete confusion. What vote? Who voted?

“It is frightening that Biden does not know, or remember, what he recently did regarding an immensely important policy. He must be presumed susceptible to future episodes of similar bewilderment. He should leave the public stage on Jan. 20, 2025.

Will said of Kamala:

“She sounds, as a critic has said, like someone giving a book report on a book she has not read.

“Her style betrays a self-satisfied exaggeration of her aptitudes. 

“Lacking natural talent, she needs to prepare, but evidently doesn’t. 

“Complacency and arrogance make a ruinous compound.

“In 2024, the Republican Party might present the nation with a presidential nominee whose unfitness has been demonstrated. 

“After next Tuesday’s sobering election results, Democrats should resolve not to insult and imperil the nation by doing likewise.”
