My org hired a lead for our team that has no data experience and isn't a good leader. Ex: we do her work when the Excel work is over her head. I'm thinking about leaving but feel bad for the team.

She wants me to be her "#2" but I can't stand her and I'm tired of making her look good to the client when she's actually terrible. I've raised concerns to my manager but he essentially told me to get along with her or I won't get promoted to senior... I've been on the team the longest so if I leave, the team will be in a bad spot but I'm really struggling with the position I'm in.

The team will deal with it and if they don't that's not on you. People leave teams and jobs all the time. Write good documentation and leave when you want too leave. Consider first whether there's an opportunity here to meet some career goals/get some training or experience that'll be helpful to you - incompetent managers can be a gift. But if you can't see that working out, leave.
