He would absolve her from having to oversee the Jan. 6 transition of her own defeat.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And it would make sure &mdash; it would dominate the news, at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public want to see,&rdquo; Simmons said. &ldquo;This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This has now jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning show,&rdquo; <em>State of the Union <\/em>host Dana Bash said in response.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bash also asked about the Supreme Court, referencing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-harris-aide-suggests-plan-in-which-she-can-become-47th-president-even-after-election-defeat-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Former Harris aide suggests plan in which she can become 47th president even after election defeat - Washington Examiner\">conspiracy-type scenario<\/a> that has made its rounds on social media in which older, Democratic-appointed justices resign and Biden appoints their replacements with younger justices who could remain Supreme Court justices for much longer.

Instead, he returned to his proposed idea, suggesting that planning for Harris to be the 47th president was something in Biden&rsquo;s control.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is in Joe Biden&rsquo;s control,&rdquo; Simmons said. &ldquo;If he did it, again, it would fulfill his last promise. It would give Kamala Harris the chance to be the 47th president of the United States of America. It would disrupt all of Donald Trump&rsquo;s paraphernalia.
