Look, nobody wants to see Vice President Kamala Harris as president. She's a cop in a past life, a flop as vice president, and as phony as they come, with enough political baggage to fill a few Acela trains. Her presidential campaign four years ago was an unmitigated dud, parlayed into the vice presidency only by the unique demands of 2020. But after last night's debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, Harris' chances of soon holding top office—or at least getting the opportunity to battle Trump for it—skyrocketed.
To say that the debate was disastrous for Biden is accurate, but somehow too weak. It's hard to describe, for those who weren't watching, just how bad Biden looked, sounded, and came across, or just how resoundingly Trump won the night.
