The statement addressed the most crucial question that has been on everyone's mind throughout the final two months of the Biden-Harris government. The panel included conservative journalist Brad Todd, Obama campaign staffer Ashley Allison, political strategist Scott Jennings and political advisor Simmons. Simons added, "It would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things in the public we want to see. This is the moment for us to change the perspective of how Democrats operate."Jennings laughed at the response and compared it to a plot from the popular political show "House of Cards."Read More:

Simmons said he was unsure of what would happen if he were questioned about his thoughts on the Supreme Court, where many are hoping that Justice Sonia Sotomayor may resign so that Biden can name a replacement. "Well the Supreme Court might happen, I don't know if it will. I think this is something that is in Joe Biden's control. And if he did it, it would fulfil his last promise, it'll give Kamala Harris the chance to be the 47th President of United States of America."The "TrailBlaze" co-host reiterated his message in a social media post after his CNN appearance.
