Joe Biden Unable to Substitue Kamala Harris—No Exceptions.

Some in Washington fear that President Biden is "shackled" to Vice President Kamala Harris and worry about her potential as president if Biden doesn't finish his term.

The Indian-American community, which could be crucial in a future election, might also be turned off if Harris is replaced. One potential solution could be for Harris to be appointed to fill a Senate vacancy in California, allowing Biden to choose a new running mate. However, such a move would require political maneuvering that Biden and Harris may not be capable of executing successfully.

Supreme Court dismisses groundbreaking legislative theory, while preserving potential for 2024 election challenges

The US Supreme Court has rejected a controversial legal theory that could have changed the way elections are run across the country. The court ruled 6-3 that legislatures do not have absolute power in setting the rules of federal elections and can be second-guessed by state courts. However, the court also stated that state courts must act within "ordinary bounds" when reviewing laws governing federal elections. This has left the door open to more limited challenges that could increase the Supreme Court's role in deciding voting disputes during the 2024 presidential election.
