Kamala adviser tells CNN Biden should resign and let her be first woman president before Trump takes over

During a segment at the end of CNN’s “State of the Union,” Dana Bash asked Jamal Simmons what to look for in the post-election season.

"Joe Biden has been a phenomenal president, he has lived up to the promises he made, but there is one promise left to fulfill," he began. "He can resign the presidency in the next 30 days and make Kamala Harris the next president of the United States."

“It would absolve her of having to oversee that Jan. 6 transition of her own defeat," Simmons continued. "It would make sure that it would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things the public would want to see."

"This is the moment to change the entire perspective of the Democratic Party," he added.

The comment prompted a shocked response from Trump supporter and resident CNN conservative Scott Jennings.

Simmons would go on to post these comments on X, writing: “Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfill one last promise - to be transitional. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first woman president. It’d turn tables on Trump, keep Kamala from presiding over Jan 6 make it easier for next woman to run. #trailblazepodcast."

He continued in a follow-up post: “Dems have better policies but we must realize the old rules no longer apply. We are not playing table tennis. We are in a mixed martial arts fight and Americans respond to drama and excitement. We should use that to make our arguments for a better path forward.”
