I don’t see Harris as a future president. I think replacing her on the ticket would lose more votes than would be gained. Lots of presidents did not first serve as VP first.

If she remains on the ticket and Biden is re-elected she is virtually certain to be president. You don't need to be a republican to see what a huge majority of Americans see, Biden can't make it through another five years in the White House. He may live that long, but he can't remain plausibly functional in the job for that long. There is no chance that the Woodrow Wilson experience could be repeated in today's information environment, particularly since we now have a constitutional amendment speaking to presidential disability.

How many people reluctantly voted for Biden and were surprised by how well he has done? If Biden were to die in office, that’s a new ball game entirely. It’s not a reason to take Harris off the ticket and piss off needed voters.
