Mollie Hemingway’s 2024 radical advice for Dems: Ditch Kamala to save yourselves

March 28, 2022 | | Print Article

President Joe Biden’s continued missteps in the last few days have many calling for using the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, but the results may not be what they’re hoping for.

As the White House repeatedly scrambled to clean up the president’s gaffes while in Europe amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, questions about his ability to lead – or lack thereof – circulated again with many calling for the removal of the 79-year-old from office.

These musings prompted many on social media to note that ousting Biden, whether through employing the 25th Amendment or his resignation, would leave the nation in a worse position as Vice President Kamala Harris will have to step up to fill the office.

But The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway pointed out on Twitter this weekend that the first move should be from Harris who should vacate her office so “someone competent” can be at the ready for when Biden resigns.

Hemingway’s tweet was in response to another post that addressed the ongoing chatter about removing Biden from office while also noting that the “Kremlin knows the whole Biden family.”

“I realise everyone here is criticising Joe Biden. For all his many faults, and muddled-ness, Biden is still better, even when risking WW3, than his current successor. People who bought the ticket should enjoy the ride etc. Thankfully the Kremlin knows the whole Biden family…” Twitter user Gray Connolly tweeted.

In response, Hemingway noted, “This is why it might be in the country’s best interest for Kamala to resign and be replaced by someone competent before Biden resigns.”

Biden continued to keep the White House on high alert this weekend as he spoke of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Contrary to official messages from his administration, the president made several remarks and unscripted comments that had to be walked back shortly after by his own.

From a comment to American troops in Poland that had many questioning whether the U.S. military would be sent into the eastern European conflict, to calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a “butcher” who needs to be removed, Biden’s comments sparked alarm both abroad and here at home where many wondered what would have happened if it was former President Trump speaking the words.


The gaffes immediately sparked the 25th Amendment chatter online. But, as many quickly noted, the alternative is not much better.


And Hemingway’s suggestion that Harris step aside for a “competent” replacement to be at the ready to take over the White House also sparked its own bevy of questions on social media.
