The child poverty rate more than doubled in 2022 as Covid-era aid programs expired, erasing major economic gains for the poorest Americans.

To add to the other comment Biden would need to be impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate (where Dems currently have a majority). If it were somehow successful, Harris would become the new president until what would have been the end of Biden’s term.

Basically impossible right now, but helpful to know what the process looks like.

Dont forget though who becomes the vice president. Whoever Harris chooses. Aka she can make Bernie a stand in VP until the next election. Imagine how much that would piss off the GOP.

She wouldn't do that because it would piss off her own party even more.

If Biden is too old, so is Bernie, who is older by two years. I love Bernie, but no. His chance has passed.

No one is electing him as president. He would be acting as a stand in VP for less than a year. It's a joke.
