Will Kamala Harris become president despite losing to Trump? Will that be right?

Will Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the presidential election against Donald Trump, become the President of the US? There is a call by a section of the Democrats, including her former aide Jamal Simmons, that Joe Biden step down for Harris and give US its first woman president. Though reports suggest that Harris is running the administration for all practical purposes, almost acting as the President of the US (POTUS), will it be fair on Americans to thrust upon a candidate who lost the popular vote?

The buzz around Democrat Harris started amid a meltdown among her supporters, who didn't expect such a drubbing by the Republican candidate. Most polls showed a neck-and-neck contest, but Trump won by a landslide, buoyed by his silent voters.

For victory, a candidate needed 270 electoral votes and Trump won 312 electoral votes. Harris managed just 226. In a whitewash, the Republicans also won both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

That's not all. Proving that his victory had a stamp from the people, Trump also managed to corner 50.4% of the popular vote. Harris managed 48% of the popular votes.

This is what makes the push for Kamala Harris to be made the president against the wishes of the people. We will circle back to this after taking a look at who is seeking Harris's installation as the president and why.

WHO WANTS BIDEN TO HARRIS THE US PRESIDENT

Though Trump won the US presidential election, the American Constitution provides for a 4-month window for transfer of power.

Trump's inauguration is set for January 20, and the Democrats, seeking change, are looking to utilise this period.

Though several Democrats have been making the demand, it was Jamal Simmons, Harris's former communications director, who publicly suggested that Joe Biden should resign and make his deputy the first woman President of the US.

Biden had started as the Democratic Party candidate for the 2024 presidential election. However, after the first presidential debate with Trump, which was nothing short of a debacle, Biden was forced by top Democrats to nominate Harris as the presidential candidate and bequeath the campaign war chest to her.

After Harris's loss, Democrats made Biden the fall guy by questioning why he didn't quit the race earlier, giving enough time to Harris.

These allegations are now inconsequential. Harris supporters now want Biden to step aside and make her the first woman POTUS.

The Harris backers also say that making her the POTUS will save her from the ignominy of certifying her rival's victory. It would be a rare occasion in which a vice president, who ran as a presidential candidate, would have to preside over the confirmation of the rival victor.

"He (Biden) could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, making Kamala Harris the President of the United States. He could absolve her from having to oversee the transition of her own defeat," Simmons told the CNN.

Several Democrat Party supporters backed Simmons' call for making Harris the President, even if that's for a month of two.

"I 1000% agree with what Jamal Simmons just said on CNN. That Biden should immediately resign and allow Kamala Harris to become the 47th president," said actor Andy Ostroy, a Democrat.

"Let's at least allow America to finally have a woman in the Oval Office, even if only for 2-1/2 months," he posted on X.

WILL MAKING HARRIS PRESIDENT BE ETHICALLY CORRECT?

No one knows if the Democratic lobby would actually succeed in getting Biden to step aside as the President for Harris. But the top Democrats did succeed in getting Biden to drop out of the presidential race and back Harris.

Trump has time and again criticised the nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate, calling it a "coup against Biden" by a cohort of Democrats.

Why appointing Harris as the President would be ethically incorrect is because she lost the popular vote, and not just the electoral vote, against Trump.

This is the second time Trump has prevented the US from getting a woman President. In 2016, he came in the way of Hillary Clinton from creating history. Clinton, however, had more popular votes than Trump.

It is within the law for Biden to resign and pave the way for Harris to become the President.

According to Section 1 of the 25th amendment of the US Constitution, if a President is removed from his office, or he resigns or dies, then the Vice President will become the President.

"Harris advisor Jamal Simmons actually says the meme live on CNN, advocating for Joe Biden to resign the presidency so Kamala Harris can become the first female president for a matter of weeks. Good riddance to these idiots," said American political analyst Charlie Kirk.

Though legally permitted, will it be ethically right?

"Should Biden resign and make Kamala Harris the first female president?" asked Boston-based David Leavitt, adding, "On one hand, all the 47 merch would be invalidated, but is this how we want our first woman to become president?"

People were seeking opinion on the ide on X.

"Many Democrats are calling on Joe Biden to resign to allow Kamala Harris to become the first female President. What do you think?" asked a MAGA-backing parody account on X.

People rejected the idea of Biden allowing Kamala Harris to be POTUS.

"The first female president should earn the office legitimately instead of failing upward into it," said Tennessee native Jeff Carlton.

"Pathetic that the Democrats would have to appoint the first female president rather than put forth a candidate that is worthy of the position," said an X user.

While it is completely feasible for Joe Biden to step aside and give the US its first woman President, and that too one of colour, it might not be ethically correct. Americans deserve a woman President who makes it to the Oval Office on her own merit and strength. A wait is better than a rushed attempt at creating history.
