Simmons suggested that President Biden should step down from his role, paving the way for Harris to take the reins as the first female president of the United States.
According to Fox News, Simmons expressed his thoughts on CNN's "State of the Union," stating, "Joe Biden’s been a phenomenal president, he’s lived up to so many of the promises he’s made. There’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure." He further proposed that Biden "could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris President of the United States—"
The panel, including host Dana Bash, reacted audibly to the idea. Simmons continued, "It would absolve her from having to oversee the January 6th transition of her own defeat. And it would make sure, it would dominate the news, at a point where Democrats have to learn, drama and transparency and doing things the public want to see. This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate."
Bash responded to Simmons' proposal, stating, "This has now jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning show." Scott Jennings, a fellow panel member and CNN commentator, humorously remarked, "Jamal’s out here writing a season of ‘House of Cards.’"

When asked about Harris' potential nomination to the Supreme Court, Simmons reiterated his call for Harris as president. He said, "This is something within Joe Biden‘s control. If he did it, it would, again, fulfill his last promise and give Kamala Harris a chance to be the 47th President of the United States of America. It would disrupt all of Donald Trump‘s paraphernalia, right? He‘d have to rebrand everything. And make it easier for the next woman president not have to hold all that weight of being the first."

Simmons also shared his idea on his X account, writing, "Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfill one last promise - to be transitional. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first woman president. It’d turn tables on Trump, keep Kamala from presiding over Jan 6 make it easier for next woman to run."
Simmons' comments were made just days after another CNN commentator suggested that Justice Sonia Sotomayor should step down to allow Biden to nominate Harris to the Supreme Court before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. This proposal, like Simmons', has sparked debate and speculation about the future of the Democratic party and its leadership.
