Vice President Kamala Harris’ former lover, the ex mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown, thinks President Biden should step down from the presidency and give Harris the reins.
Brown, a Democrat who dated Harris in the mid-1990s, told reporters her chance of beating Trump be much better if she was running as the sitting president.
“Her chances go up if he would at this moment say not only am I no longer the candidate, I’m no longer the president — she is,” Brown said, according to the San Francisco Standard.
Brown also said it would clear up the turmoil that the party has been tossed into since Biden withdrew from the election Sunday — saying such a move would “silence all of this nonsense about how best to select some new nominee.”
“When they watch Kamala Harris exchange views with Trump, there’ll be no question. The gender of the candidate will not make the difference,” Brown said, adding that he hopes to see an all female ticket and offered Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as a viable vice president.
On Monday, Whitmer said she wanted to “stay in Michigan” and did not want to be considered as vice president.
