Veep Kamala Harris’ Team Had ‘Death-Pool’ Succession Plan in Place in Case Biden Died in Office

  • Kamala Harris’ team developed a detailed succession and messaging plan in case President Joe Biden died in office during his 2024 campaign.
  • This plan arose from concerns over Biden’s health, including a spreadsheet of judges ready to administer Harris’s oath quickly to provide legitimacy.
  • Staffers, led by Harris’s communications director Jamal Simmons, aimed to reassure the public by replicating historic rapid successions and to anticipate political fallout from Trump supporters.
  • Simmons believed quick swearing-in would give Harris an “institutional stamp of approval” and feared Trump supporters might go 'apes**t' if Harris took office suddenly.
  • The plan’s existence, detailed in recent books, highlights internal anxieties about Biden’s health and the complex White House preparations for presidential continuity in 2024.
