Former Harris aide, Jamal Simmons, appeared on CNN's State of the Union stated that Harris “could resign the presidency in the next 30 days [to briefly] make Kamala Harris the president of the United States.” Both The Guardian and The Hill confirmed this statement. According to The Guardian, the CNN hosts of the show were taken back by the statement, Bash said, "This has now jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning talk show."
