In what can only be described as the political equivalent of a Hail Mary, some Democrats are floating an idea that would put Kamala Harris in the Oval Office—just temporarily—before Trump officially takes over. The plan? Have President Joe Biden resign right before the inauguration, so Kamala Harris can take the spotlight as President #47, even if it’s just for a hot minute.
Yes, you heard that right. If they can’t win the game, they’ll settle for a participation trophy. “Generation Participation-Trophy” has grown up, and they still want a prize.
The Master Plan
NewsNation contributor Kurt Bardella is leading the charge on this brilliant idea. He suggested, with a straight face, that Biden could pardon Hunter, resign, and let Harris bask in the historical glow of becoming the first female president. Imagine the scene: Harris swearing in, with just enough time to order a new desk plaque before the Trump moving trucks roll up in January.
“If I were Joe Biden, that’s exactly what I’d do,” Bardella said. Because why not? History books love a brief footnote, right?
Ruining Trump’s “47” Merch—The Real Goal
Let’s not beat around the bush—this isn’t just about making history. Oh no, this is about spoiling Trump’s merchandising game. After all, every T-shirt, hat, and bumper sticker with a big, shiny “47” would be instantly obsolete. Poor Trump supporters would be left with boxes of outdated gear, like those “Y2K Survival Kits” sitting in basements across the country.
One viral tweet even joked, “Biden should resign so Harris becomes 47, and Donald has to throw out all his 47 swag.” The tweet racked up millions of views because, liberal idiots need something to cheer about right now.
A Presidential Participation Trophy
Of course, not everyone’s on board with the “Operation Participation Trophy” approach. Conservative commentator Christopher Bedford didn’t hold back, calling it the ultimate in “insulting DEI infantilization” for world leaders. It’s like letting the kid who never scored a goal take home the MVP trophy—just for showing up.
But hey, when your options are limited, why not try something different? Sure, we’ve got a democracy to maintain, but wouldn’t it be hilarious if, for just a few weeks, we could say we had the first female president? Forget qualifications, forget policies, we’re talking about prime-time history-making here, folks.
A Short-Lived 47
Imagine it: Harris sitting in the Oval, basking in her temporary title. Maybe she’d get to sign a memo or two, possibly take a few selfies at the Resolute Desk. But just as quickly, it’d be over. Trump would walk in, Harris would hand him the keys, and just like that, history is made. For two glorious months, she’d be on the list of U.S. presidents, squeezing in just ahead of Trump’s second term.
The Verdict? A Funny Fantasy, But Not Likely
While it’s amusing to think about, let’s be real—this isn’t exactly a solid plan. It’s more like a political daydream for those who just can’t stand the idea of a “President 47” Trump. But you’ve got to give them credit for creativity. After all, if you can’t beat ’em, at least you can make ’em change their merch!
