A group of actors and other Hollywood political donors has reportedly argued that President Joe Biden needs to jettison Kamala Harris as his vice president, picking a new running mate when he runs for re-election in 2024.
On a recent Zoom call with former US Senator Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, Hollywood executives and actors such as Helen Hunt, Ron Livingston, Gabrielle Carteris, and others allegedly claimed that Harris would hurt Biden’s chances of winning a second term.
Meanwhile, given his advanced age, voters would focus more attention on the unpopular vice president than usual.
Nearly seven in ten US voters (68%) believe Biden, 80, is too old to seek re-election, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov poll released earlier this month.
He would be 86 at the end of his second term if he were to serve all four years.
