Rich notes a hilarious New York Times piece on Kamala Harris, which includes this gem:
Through much of the fall, a quiet panic set in among key Democrats about what would happen if President Biden opted not to run for a second term. Most Democrats interviewed, who insisted on anonymity to avoid alienating the White House, said flatly that they did not think Ms. Harris could win the presidency in 2024. Some said the party’s biggest challenge would be finding a way to sideline her without inflaming key Democratic constituencies that would take offense.
Well, good luck with that! I will not pretend to understand the contours of contemporary left-wing identitarian politics, but I do know that I am truly looking forward to watching a bunch of braindead progressives try to explain why it was profoundly inspiring to have a half-black, half-Indian woman serve as America’s vice-president, but it would be a terrible idea to have that same half-black, half-Indian woman serve as the nominee for president in 2024.
