Vice President Kamala Harris’ camp is standing firm amid calls for her to replace President Joe Biden on the ticket. Recent polling shows Harris outpacing Biden in a hypothetical race against Donald Trump, but the mandate among Harris campaign staff is to remain focused on the Biden-Harris ticket.
Harris reiterated her commitment to Biden during a recent interview, stating, “Joe Biden is our nominee. We beat Trump once and we’re going to beat him again, period.” She emphasized her pride in being Biden’s running mate.
A recent poll indicates a close race between Harris and Trump, with 47% of registered voters supporting Trump and 45% supporting Harris. Former Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan has publicly called for Democrats to replace Biden with Harris, citing her close involvement in the administration and ability to energize the Democratic base.

Despite the calls for Harris to replace Biden, sources close to the vice president emphasize her loyalty to Biden and commitment to the current ticket. Harris’ staff has been reaching out to Democratic officials to reassure them and emphasize Biden’s record and agenda.
One source close to Harris dismissed the calls for her to replace Biden as some not understanding the rules, stirring the pot, or having their own agenda. The focus for Harris remains on Joe Biden and the country.
Biden and Harris are set to have lunch at the White House, following multiple conversations since the recent debate. The internal guidance for Harris’ staff is to stay united and maintain focus on the Biden-Harris ticket.
