Director and activist Michael Moore argued Monday that it would be in the best interest of Vice President Harris’s campaign for President Biden to resign, leaving her the Oval Office.
Biden ended his reelection campaign Sunday, with many Democrats quickly coalescing around Harris as a favorite to take over the party’s nomination for president.
“Kamala Harris will be in a much stronger position to win if she can run as the President of the United States. As the incumbent President,” Moore wrote . “This will give the country a chance to see her in action — as the most powerful person in the world. She will have three and a half months (as they say, ‘an eternity in politics’) to show the American people her smarts, her strengths, her heart.”
Republicans in Congress have latched onto demands for Biden to resign from office in recent days, claiming that if he’s in no shape to run for reelection, then he can’t lead the country. Biden has made clear he will finish his term.
Moore also advocated for Harris to put his home state of Michigan first in her campaign, chiefly by naming Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) as her vice presidential pick .
Whitmer said Monday she’s not interested in the job, however.
“The vote amongst liberals and Democrats is seriously depressed. Millions are in despair. Many have given up,” Moore wrote. “The youth vote is down due to the Gazan war. The Arab American vote is essentially gone.”
Despite that stark outlook, Moore said he still has hope for Harris’s campaign.
“Trump. Is. Beatable. Soooo beatable!! And he knows it,” he wrote. “Trump is going to lose because we are the majority. America hates what he stands for.”
“In 2020, after seeing and living through the trainwreck of his presidency, the citizenry removed him by over 7 million votes and sent him packing,” he continued. “Nothing he’s done in the past four years has convinced millions of these voters to change their minds.”
