Does Biden actually want Harris to win? Do Hillary Clinton or Josh Shapiro?

While haters of Donald Trump often lambaste the former president’s messaging as painfully simplistic, even they have to admit that Vice President Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign is rife with contradictions that verge on rendering the entire case for her candidacy incoherent.

Explaining her decision to host one of her final rallies in front of the White House, Harris said that she wanted the visual behind her because “it is in the White House that the work is going to get done,” as though the sitting vice president hasn’t had an office in the West Wing for the last 3 1/2 years and counting. Further, Harris’s “closing argument” that she is the unifier to offer Democrats and Republicans alike a seat at the table is fundamentally undercut when her own running mate says there is a “direct parallel” between a Trump rally and a pro-Hitler rally conducted a few months before the Nazis invaded Poland and began World War II.
