In a move that can only be described as a political comedy masterpiece, Vice President Kamala Harris has seemingly taken a wild leap towards landing herself at the top of the Democratic ticket for 2024. An eyebrow-raising filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) has turned the heads of many, as Harris appears to have accidentally run off with President Joe Biden’s identification number. Apparently, sharing is caring—even in politics.
The whole fiasco erupted when Harris filed a Statement of Candidacy, which is generally a formality for candidates entering elections. This particular document is supposed to have the candidate’s unique ID number on it, and for some baffling reason, Harris decided to swipe Biden’s instead of her own. It’s almost as if she was trying to prove that two can tango, even if one of them is supposed to be sitting the dance out.
Her blunder was first unearthed by lawyer and activist Laura Powell, who took to the social media platform X to lay bare the absurdity. According to Powell, Harris basically hitched her campaign to Biden’s long-standing ID number, which has followed him from his prior presidential escapades to this ongoing campaign debacle. It’s like trying to ride a bicycle built for one, except it’s a tricycle, and oh wait, you’ve convinced yourself it’s a tandem.
What might have started as a political blooper reel took on a more serious tone when 16 states’ Republican officials and the conservative group Citizens United jumped into the fray, filing a complaint with the FEC over this bizarre hijacking attempt. It’s not just that Harris wants her name on the ballot; she seems to be attempting to occupy Biden’s space before he even thinks about officially stepping down. Did someone say ‘taking candy from a baby’?
Despite the chaos that ensued, it was almost impressive how the FEC stumbled through the mess, initially recognizing not one, but two candidates named Kamala Harris. Apparently, the FEC is now known for hosting its own version of “Twilight Zone.” Thanks to Harris’ slip-up, Biden’s records went missing like a sock in a dryer, leading to a bizarre scenario where one candidate ID corresponds to two individuals. It’s politics at its most glorious—who knew the application of bureaucracy could lead to such entertaining shenanigans?

As the dust settled, the FEC made some quick adjustments in response to the public outcry. The dual Harris entries on their website vanished, making it look less like a circus act and more like a regular political operation. However, they can’t erase the fact that Harris has just served up a hefty slice of political intrigue, raising questions about her eagerness to usurp power—even while the sitting president is still in the race. It seems organized chaos is the new normal on the Democratic side, where the only certainty is that things are about to get even more hilarious.
