Who would run the US empire until the new President is elected and sworn in?
rule the world
Biden doesn’t rule the Bab al-Mandab Strait
ouch! I’ll have to tell him he was wrong in saying he rules the world in that recent interview he did.
American bourgeois interests or - arguably - the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China would continue to rule the world. So, no change.
Kamala Harris would rule the world. I know this because I have an infantile understanding of how political power works.
Whoever’s running it now, it’s not like they actually let the dementia-riddled old man be in charge of stuff
GIRLS!
Kamala Harris, without a shadow of a doubt, because she’s the current Vice President. Presidential succession is pretty well-defined in the US.
Edit: I mean that Harris would be the figurehead of the US empire. The people who she responds to would still be the capitalists.
Financial elites. Why would anything change just because the president died?
I mean officially speaking, the vice president is the acting president when the president is incapacitated (doesn’t have to be dead). Mike Pence did that several times when Trump was in surgery under general anesthesia, iirc.
Blinken is running it now and he’d be running it after Biden croaks too
