In the wake of Kamala Harris's defeat in the 2024 presidential election, Jamal Simmons proposed that President Biden resign, allowing Harris to assume the presidency. Simmons praised Biden’s presidency but emphasized that his resignation within 30 days could dominate the news and relieve Harris of overseeing her own electoral defeat when results are certified. This suggestion drew a mix of reactions from Democrats, highlighting ongoing intra-party tensions following the electoral setback and concerns about Biden's fitness for office during his last days. Despite Simmons's call for dramatic change, opinions ranged from skepticism to outright dismissal.
