This was a dark discovery.
Breaking Political News: A shocking new book has revealed that a top aide to Kamala Harris quietly prepared for President Joe Biden’s sudden death — even going as far as creating a “death-pool roster” of Republican-appointed federal judges to swear Harris in immediately.
This behind-the-scenes strategy was part of a broader communications plan in case the Biden presidency abruptly ended, according to the newly released political tell-all, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House”.
Kamala Harris Team Prepared for Biden’s Sudden Exit
Jamal Simmons, who served as Harris’ White House communications director, reportedly feared major public backlash if Harris suddenly became president — especially from Trump supporters.
He believed the best way to “legitimize” Harris in the eyes of the American public was to have her sworn in by a Republican-appointed federal judge.
But not just any Republican judge — specifically, a judge who had not been appointed by President Donald Trump.
Secret “Death-Pool Roster” Tracked GOP Judges Nationwide
According to the book’s authors — NBC’s Jonathan Allen and The Hill’s Amie Parnes — Simmons went so far as to create a city-by-city spreadsheet of judges he thought could quickly administer the oath of office to Harris if Biden passed away.
He carried this list during Harris’ official travels, never informing her directly — but instructing staff to notify him immediately if anything happened to the president.
Before leaving his position in January 2023, Simmons handed the spreadsheet off to another Harris aide. The book does not reveal the names of the judges listed.
Obama Also Had Doubts About Kamala Harris
The book drops another bombshell: Former President Barack Obama was reportedly unconvinced that Kamala Harris could win a presidential election — especially against now-President Donald Trump.
Obama was also deeply concerned about Joe Biden’s mental fitness, casting further doubt over the Democratic ticket heading into the 2024 election cycle.
Harris, once considered the heir-apparent to the Democratic Party, was reportedly frustrated by the lack of confidence from Obama and top party insiders.
Kamala Harris Now a Paid Speaker, Not in Office
After her failed White House ambitions, Harris is now represented by CAA Speakers, an agency known for promoting high-profile celebrities. She has since stepped back from active political leadership.
When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, CAA did not respond.
