Since the debate performance in June that resulted in his forced exit from the Democratic ticket, it has been obvious that Joe Biden should not be president of the United States. In the effort to oust him, reporters revealed that he was being specially minded by his sometime-drug-addict son Hunter, his wife, and a handful of trusted aides. He had clearly lost the necessary self-possession that is required in an executive accountable to the American people.

Although it would probably complicate her election pitch in which she is portraying herself as a “change” candidate, Kamala Harris should take up the office of president, from which Joe Biden should step down. And the primary reason this should happen can be summed up in one word: Ukraine.
