HuffPost
A number of "elites" think Kamala Harris isn't the one who should replace President Joe Biden if he ends his reelection bid, the New York Democrat said.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Friday said she has not seen a “bulletproof” case to support the notion that Joe Biden should drop out of the 2024 presidential race, warning that many of those calling on him to end his reelection bid are not interested in having Vice President Kamala Harris replace him on the ticket.
The 81-year-old president’s poor performance at a CNN debate in late June fueled concerns about his age and fitness to serve, with a growing number of Democrats now calling on him to step aside and support an alternative candidate.
Speaking on Instagram after the conclusion of Donald Trump’s speech accepting the GOP presidential nomination in Milwaukee, Ocasio-Cortez said she is not convinced that Biden should leave the race.
“I have not seen the the fully laid-out, bulletproof data case,” she said.
Ocasio-Cortez noted that there is so far no consensus on an alternative to Biden, adding that many people who have called for his exit are not looking to Harris to take over.
