    NYTimes reporting the call wasn’t anything exciting.

    Vice President Kamala Harris tried to buck up the Democratic Party’s biggest donors on Friday, telling about 300 of them that there was little to worry about in President Biden’s campaign.

    Ms. Harris spoke to the group at a time of extraordinary turmoil among Democrats, with many hoping that she will replace Mr. Biden as the party’s nominee. But several listeners said they found the meeting overall to be of little value and even, at times, condescending, believing that the message ignored donors’ legitimate concerns about the Biden-led ticket.

    Ms. Harris, of course, is in a delicate position: She must demonstrate loyalty to her boss but also be prepared to jump immediately to the top of the Democratic ticket if Mr. Biden were to withdraw.

      Yeah no shit. Harris bombed out of the 2020 run before Iowa because that’s just who she is. Got 0 rizz. Biden should have talked Abrams into being VP 4 years ago.

      The NYT that has a personal vendetta against Biden for reasons that Biden stans can never articulate?
