Vice President Nick Saban?
The long and winding road to the presidential election took another twist on Sunday, when President Joe Biden announced that he would not accept the Democratic Nomination for President, choosing instead to focus on the remainder of his term in office. President Biden immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the nomination, ahead of the party’s convention in August.
The move led to immediate speculation over whether Vice President Harris would indeed be the party’s nominee and if so, who her running mate would be. The early focus has been on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, among others.
Seeking a PR opportunity, illegal, offshore sportsbook BetOnline.ag released odds on the nomination, which included those names as well as a few surprises. Further down the list names like actor George Clooney and media mogul Oprah Winfrey were listed, as well as one from the sports world.
It’s important to note that offshore sportsbooks are unregulated, which means they can offer odds on anything without answering questions as to why. Election odds are not available in the United States, and so no legal sportsbook will offer odds in the US.
That being said, it does not make this any less amusing. Saban left Alabama after last season, a year which saw him lead the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff but lose to eventual champions Michigan. He took a role as an analyst with ESPN and will be appearing on “College GameDay” each Saturday. The idea of leaving the high-pressure world of college football and jumping right into American politics is probably not appealing to the former head coach.
Still, for those wondering the last time a Democratic candidate carried the state of Alabama in a Presidential election came back in 1976, when Jimmy Carter won the state over Gerald Ford.
Saban was a graduate assistant at Kent State that year.
The state does have nine electoral college votes to offer, which makes it no small price in the race to 270. But given the importance of Pennsylvania to the Democrats’ electoral chances, the choice is clear.
Bryce Harper.
My source tells me it’s buttigien
And they invoking the 25th
🚨
Kamalasutra wants to ban fracking. Good luck with that, Josh...
15/16 of people in the south east US can’t stand the guy.
To remove Kamala Harris?
Presidents and VPs always agree 1000%.
Saban ended his football career with a reputation as one of the greats.
You really think he’s going to stain his name as Kamala’s veep.
A la Biden’s choice of Kamala as VP, Kamala needs to choose a VP more incompetent as her as an insurance policy.
It’s up to him.
The answer is Kamala is the most disposable candidate for the dems. No dem who desires a future in politics wants this. Did people forget about the horrible economy? Only people giving any solutions are President Trump and VP Vance. Only thing any dem can offer is more of the same.
One would have to be competent in order to accomplish that.
More incompetent than her? That’s pretty high or should one say low bar to clear.
No
To get Biden out and let Kamala have a run at it
Yep. I think the dimrat party is pushing Kamala to be the candidate so that she can lose and they can be done with her. She is of no use to the party. And I don’t think that any other dim wants to run as the dim candidate this go round. They will have very little time to campaign and will be going up against a smarter and stronger Trump.
Joe is still POTUS.
If they 25th him Kamala and the White House team get to keep their jobs, they hope for four more years (gambling sites say otherwise).
Make Kamala POTUS, then the convention comes and Dems dump their own POTUS? No, not going to happen.
(Biden might already be dead for all we know)
So, they let Biden agedly resign from the campaign, but they will force him out of the presidency using the 25th? And further decrease Kamala Harris’ chances?
Have to be at least two of the following three:
Dumber than Biden. Drunker than Kennedy. Less scrupulous than Hillary.
Too bad Sheila Lee Jackson is dead. She could make a strong case for being able to check the first box-—and to do so as one of the first cohort of Yale Alumna is really incredible.
Nick Saban does not strike me as a Democrat
Sounds male, so that won’t work for her.
Who the neck is Nick Saban?
