Who would run the US empire until the new President is elected and sworn in?

    The president of the US already does not really run the US, let alone the world. While they obviously have a lot of power and privilege, they are ultimately beholden to the capital owners of their country. For example, US is not supporting the genocide in Gaza because Biden is a Zionist. Rather, it’s that his Zionism was mandatory for him being the president.

    Besides the pedantry, Harris would become the interim president. I would love if it happened though. The scenario sounds hysterical.

      Thank you. Follow-up question: Would Harris become Interim President or President? I mean, it seems like there should be a distinction because if Trump gets elected and then drops dead within a month, is a new election called or does his VP just automatically take over for the full term unelected? omg I’m picturing a President Pompeo now 😱
