Cackling Kamala's playboy ex-lover demands Biden make her president today - as allies furiously rebrand Harris as America's 'Momala.' But will voters really buy her White House makeover?

Vice President Kamala Harris' erstwhile person has a agleam idea.

Why hold for 2024? Kamala should beryllium president, correct now!

Former San Francisco politician and notorious playboy, Willie Brown, 90, who dated Harris successful nan 1990s, summoned section reporters for an impromptu news convention connected Sunday.

Speaking extracurricular John's Grill, wherever he holds tribunal pinch nan city's governmental elite, conscionable moments aft President Joe Biden's astonishment announcement that he'd instantly suspended his campaign, Brown put guardant a bold idea.

Not only should Joe guidelines speech arsenic a candidate, he said, but Biden should besides resign arsenic President, allowing Harris to return up nan role.

'[Harris's] chances spell up if [Biden] would astatine this infinitesimal opportunity not only americium I nary longer nan candidate, I'm nary longer nan president — she is,' Brown said.

Sounding much for illustration a doting coach than a past lover, he heaped praise connected Harris, telling The San Francisco Chronicle: 'In each nan jobs she's had… she's ever been outstanding.'

It's a crisp alteration of tune from Brown, who advised Harris successful 2020 to move down Biden's invitation to beryllium his moving mate, telling her nan 2nd spot was a 'dead end'.

Brown's about-face is successful statement pinch a wide displacement successful nan Democratic statement – arsenic left-wing governmental operators and a sympathetic media unreserved to rehabilitate Harris's image successful nan hopes that she tin return connected and hit erstwhile President Donald Trump.

In April, talk show big Drew Barrymore heaped praise connected nan Vice President, christening her 'Momala' and saying, 'I've been reasoning that we each request a tremendous hug successful nan world now, but successful our country, we request you to beryllium Momala of nan country.'

The large mobility now is if Democrats tin overgarment Harris, who has an mean favorability standing that matches Biden's (39 percent), arsenic a competent, inspiring and opinionated leader.

A person look down Harris's profession - dogged by allegations of hypocrisy and dishonesty - suggests that a governmental rebrand whitethorn beryllium an insurmountable task.

Even her earliest days successful nan governmental oculus were tarnished by scandal.

In 1994, Harris was a 29-year-old rising prima successful nan Alameda County District Attorney's Office erstwhile she struck up a narration pinch Brown – nan 60-year-old speaker of nan authorities Assembly and 1 of nan astir powerful men successful California.

Brown - who was erstwhile dubbed nan 'Real Slick Willy' by erstwhile president and serial philander Bill Clinton - was still legally joined to his wife, Blanche Vitero, astatine nan time, but they had separated years prior.

He was notorious for his emotion of sports cars, flashy designer suits and for being named 1 of nan world's 10 sexiest men by Playgirl magazine.

'The measurement of his flamboyance is he'll spell to a statement pinch his woman connected 1 limb and his woman connected nan other,' James Richardson, a newsman for nan Sacramento Bee told People Magazine successful 1996.

The vice president has many times denied that her narration pinch Brown - which ended successful 1995 earlier he was elected politician of San Francisco – was a defining measurement successful her governmental career.

In 2003, Harris described her narration pinch Brown arsenic 'an albatross hanging astir my neck.' And Brown hasn't done Harris galore favors dispelling nan rumors.

In a 2019 op-ed for nan San Francisco Chronicle, he wrote: 'Sure, I dated Kamala Harris. So what?' conceding that he 'certainly helped pinch her first title for territory lawyer successful San Francisco,' but that he besides assisted different salient California Democrats.

After winning her 2003 run for San Francisco, Harris' governmental prima began to emergence successful earnest, arsenic she asserted herself arsenic nan 'law and order' territory attorney, a acold outcry from her caller 'Momala' image.

As San Fran's territory attorney, her agency introduced a arguable anti-truancy programme that targeted parents of children who skipped school, threatening them pinch prosecution and fines.

Under nan program, successful 2013, section mom Cheree Peoples was arrested and handcuffed complete her daughter's schoolhouse attendance record. It later emerged that her kid had been missing schoolhouse because she had a superior familial information that required predominant hospitalization.

Harris's agency besides fought to support inmates successful jailhouse moreover aft nan US Supreme Court recovered that overcrowding successful California prisons had go truthful superior it amounted to unconstitutional sadistic and different punishment.

Many of her views person now shifted dramatically complete nan years from hardliner to socially wide and reform-focused.

The champion illustration is her 'evolving' stance connected marijuana.

As San Francisco's territory attorney, her prosecutors convicted much than 1,900 group for weed violations, but threat guardant to this March and Harris couldn't spell further successful nan different direction, many times stating: 'Nobody should person to spell to jailhouse for smoking weed.'

Perhaps, nan astir striking illustration of Harris' governmental opportunism came erstwhile she attacked Biden connected nan Democratic superior statement successful 2019.

Harris reportedly blindsided Biden complete his activity pinch erstwhile segregationist Senators and for his one-time guidance to a national busing programme that aimed to merge number schoolhouse children into high-performing majority-white schools.

'There was a small woman successful California who was portion of nan 2nd people to merge her nationalist schools and she was bused to schoolhouse each day,' Harris told Biden, 'That small woman was me.'

Insiders told DailyMail.com earlier this year, that Jill Biden held a grudge against Harris since nan 2019 statement debacle, aft which she privately fumed that Harris should 'Go f--- yourself.'

'[Jill] doesn't fto things spell and she has ne'er forgiven Kamala for comments that immoderate took to beryllium allegations of racism,' nan root said, 'Jill was trying to extremity Kamala joining nan Biden summons successful 2020.'

Harris's competence has besides go a target for critics.

Once successful nan White House, successful March 2021, Biden placed Harris successful complaint of addressing nan 'root causes' of migration into nan US, pinch nan purpose of 'stemming nan migration to our confederate border.'

Her domiciled led to 1 of nan astir wide derided moments of Harris' career, an NBC question and reply wherever she admitted, contempt her role, she had ne'er really visited nan border.

When asked why she hadn't been, she appeared to discount nan question, saying, 'I haven't been to Europe. I mean, I don't understand nan constituent that you're making.'

The forbidden migration rumor subsequently exploded into an abject situation – pinch Democrats now rowing backmost their separator plans and moreover reinstituting policies enacted by nan Trump administration.

Meanwhile, White House unit person near Harris' agency successful droves pinch 13 staffers quitting successful conscionable a fewer months betwixt 2021 and 2022.

The wide departures fueled claims that Harris is an agency 'bully' pinch a 'soul-destroying' guidance style.

More than thing else, Harris' connection style has attracted nan astir antagonistic attention.

She has go known for her sputtering 'word salad' nationalist quality during which she deploys jumbled and repetitive phrases to convey seemingly elemental ideas.

In August past year, she emphasized to reporters that 'community banks are successful nan community' and that investing successful them is truthful bully for 'the community.'

During a sojourn to a children's infirmary successful May, Harris said: 'We each judge that erstwhile we talk astir nan children of nan community, they are children of nan community.'

Then location was her astir well-known soundbite, which she whitethorn ne'er unrecorded down, made during a White House arena past year.

Quoting her mother, Harris said: 'You deliberation you conscionable fell retired of a coconut tree? You beryllium successful nan discourse of each successful which you unrecorded and what came earlier you.'

Fans and critics alike shared nan clip, poking nosy astatine nan seemingly nonsensical move of phrase.

Whatever nan intended meaning of her coconut quote was, 1 portion of it is true: Harris does beryllium successful nan discourse of what came earlier her, and while she and her friends whitethorn effort a rebrand now, she whitethorn find her past is not truthful easy near behind.
