President Biden said in an interview released on Wednesday that he would re-evaluate whether to stay in the presidential race if a doctor told him directly that he had a medical condition that made that necessary.
Mr. Biden has said repeatedly that none of his doctors have told him he has a serious medical condition. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House physician, wrote after the president’s physical in February that Mr. Biden is “a healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
But his disastrous performance at a debate with former President Donald J. Trump last month, which prompted a wave of calls by Democratic allies to step aside, raised questions about his health and acuity.
Don’t know that I could be pumped for Harris unless she pulls off some kind of “Crouching Empty Suit, Hidden Visionary” shit, but I could be pumped for her VP. Unfortunately, I suspect she’ll choose a ‘moderate’ old white Dem guy as her VP to ‘balance out’ that she’s an ethnic minority and a woman.
Harris/Duckworth would be great. Tammy Duckworth is a combat wounded vet and seems to be pretty good as far as centrist dems go.
Harris/Newsom? Harris/Kinzinger(my mancrush)?
I’d love to see a Harris/AOC pairing … if only to watch all the rich old white people in leadership have massive shit fits.
That’s just a dream at this point tho.
Maybe Sen. Mark Kelly from AZ? He is amazing. Very popular here in AZ. His wife is Gabby Giffords.
You can’t have AOC yet, VPs go silent and we need her wit!
tbf, one of the reasons that Biden had such popularity as vice-president was because he never learned how to go silent
Point. AOC with a bully pulpit and really really high bar to be fired. That might not be the worst thing.
A cop and a union buster. A match made in heaven.
Oooh…! But Harris Buttigieg would be fun too.
Or Mark Kelly of AZ?!
That could be out of this world.
