Humphrey

There is a historical repeat with Biden/Harris and Johnson/Humphrey. Hubert Humphrey was Lyndon Johnson's vice president and was handed the torch when Johnson decided not to seek another term. Johnson dropped out because the Vietnam War was dividing the country. The problem was that Humphrey wanted to disconnect from the administration to avoid the controversy surrounding the war but he was too closely tied to the president. He had been VP for four years and could not unwind from the war. Harris has been VP for four years and is closely tied to Biden's agenda. While Biden is proud of his accomplishment, things like the Infrastructure Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act, the American people only see rising prices, unsafe neighborhoods and an open border. Polls show that the economy and the border are the big issues and she will have to defend both. Add to that, her strong support for the Green New Deal, will hurt her as the voters understand that the country needs fossil fuels and people don't want electric cars. She lacks administrative experience as she has never been a mayor or a governor nor a CEO in the private sector.
