I promise this is real, ladies and gents. This isn't a Babylon Bee article!

According to CNN, the Democrats are quietly moving into Kamala mode, including an anonymous U.S. senator who compared her to the backup QB.

Amid the ongoing fallout from Joe Biden's debate performance, talk in many top Democratic circles has already moved to who Kamala Harris' running mate would be.

That's how certain a widening group of leading party officials, operatives and donors are that the president's slow start to salvage his campaign just won't work, with several close allies skeptical that he is up to the reelection campaign he has pledged to stay in, based on CNN's conversations with two dozen Democratic politicians and operatives.

CNN talked to two dozen top Democrats for this story. All of them said the Democratic Party is moving on to Kamala, regardless of Biden's continual reassurance that he's going to stay in the campaign.

Here is the football analogy from the unnamed senator:

'We start talking in the huddle: "Do we put in the backup QB?" The backup knows our team, the backup knows the plays, the backup has played in the NFL,' the senator said. 'The crowd in the stands full of passionate fans starts chanting: "Put in the kid from Alabama!" "Put in the QB from Wisconsin!" All just because the backup threw an interception earlier. But we know the backup and have confidence in them.'

The senator said that's the difference between the donors who are handwringing about Harris' chances and many of those who are trying to focus on what the realistic options are now.

Now for the most hilariously named Google document to ever grace God's green earth:

This is "doing the meme" on a whole new level!

The Dems seem to think Kamala has what it takes to win:

Counterpoint:

CNN ends the article by speculating about who the current VP would choose to be her VP if indeed she is called off the bench: Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Gov Andy Beshear of Kentucky seem to be the only real viable options in their minds.

That's all they came up with. I guess the Democrat bench is not very deep!
