A former ESPN NBA reporter took to social media on Sunday to express strong opinions about Kamala Harris, following the announcement that she will be taking over for Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.
Biden revealed his decision to step down on Sunday afternoon, sparking a wave of reactions.
Chris Palmer, a former ESPN NBA reporter, voiced his disapproval of Harris on Twitter. “Kamala Harris might be the least qualified person in history to do anything,” he wrote, reflecting a sharp criticism of the Vice President.
Palmer added a personal anecdote: “Damn this ratio crazy. There’s no way I’m clicking on this. Nah. I already know what it says. But the funny thing is, my Dad and Kamala’s Dad hung out together. They were both economists from the West Indies. They would come over to the house for dinners when I was a little kid.”

This comment came on the heels of Joe Biden’s significant announcement that he would not seek reelection. In a heartfelt letter, Biden explained his decision: “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.”
Biden further elaborated, “My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
The announcement sets the stage for a historic election, with Harris potentially becoming the first female President of the United States.
As the political landscape shifts, public reactions, like Palmer’s, highlight the varied and passionate opinions surrounding Harris’s candidacy and the future of the Democratic Party.
