DNC Mulls Over Replacing Kamala Harris With Jimmy Carter to Win Blue Wall States, Eyes Centenarian Voting Bloc

Sources inside the Democratic National Committee (DNC) have revealed that, amid Kamala Harris’ mixed polling in key Blue Wall states, the party may be considering a daring strategy: subbing Harris out for none other than former President Jimmy Carter. Yes, that Jimmy Carter—who just celebrated his 100th birthday.

The move, insiders say, stems from concerns about Harris’ uncertain lead in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. While Harris has shown some gains, the DNC isn’t quite ready to gamble on a woman of her…youthful vigor. Instead, they’re reconsidering if old and white might have been better, but pushing it further. They’re looking to tap into an often overlooked, yet undoubtedly loyal, demographic: the centenarian voting bloc. “We’re not just going after swing voters; we’re going after voters who can remember when Roosevelt was president,” a senior DNC strategist remarked, proudly waving a peanut-shaped flag.

The plan is simple: pit two one-term presidents against each other. On the Republican side, you’ve got Donald Trump, who’s itching for a comeback. On the Democratic side? Well, why not dust off the 39th President, Carter? “He’s fresh off a birthday, and honestly, could there be anything more energizing than electing the oldest president that ever will be?”

Political analysts are still wrapping their heads around this strategy. “It’s… bold,” said one analyst between chuckles. “In a world where every candidate wants to appeal to younger voters, the DNC has decided to shoot for the stars—well, maybe the stars from 1924.”

As for Carter, the former president hasn’t publicly commented on the rumors, but sources close to him say he’s “ready for round two,” assuming he can locate his White House key. Meanwhile, the DNC hopes that adding Carter to the ticket will unite a new wave of elderly voters who are tired of being left out of the TikTok era.

It seems the race for 2024 just got a little… older.
