If Biden isn’t on the ticket, Harris’s pick for vice president will be key to 2024
The Hill ^ | January 21, 2023 | douglas Mackinnon

Posted on 01/24/2023 6:57:49 PM PST by xxqqzz

Well before classified documents were found in President Biden’s Delaware home, its garage, and the Penn Biden Center, it’s fair to say a certain number of Democrats were uncomfortable with the idea of our octogenarian president seeking reelection. Now a narrative is building that if the classified documents found at these locations aren’t the leverage needed to convince him not to run — or even to resign at some point — his age and health very well could be a reason for him to do just that by the time campaigning begins in earnest next year.

So, on the admittedly long-shot chance that Biden could indeed turn the Oval Office over to Vice President Kamala Harris, would that increase the chances for the Democratic Party to retain the White House in the 2024 election? The answer is that it likely would hinge more on who Harris chose as her running mate than on her own attributes, because of the weaknesses she has shown thus far.

How about Buttigieg, Fetterman, Newsome, or Kareem Jeffries. I am sure they could all win with enough boxes of ballots.

Agree....Newsome looks like the designated hitter..and no way will he pick Harris as VP. The party has spoken!!! She’s a dud.

Ridiculous premise. Mackinnon is an old hack hardly worth a second look.

“joe “decides” not to run”

I think that has already been decided by the authorities in deep state.

The drip, drip, drip is to convince Dr. Jill to accept the decision.

Dr. Jill is probably telling anyone that will listen that she should continue to be president for the next ten years.

“I am the president now” she correctly points out.

Trying to think of the last time the Dem incumbent was forced out in POTUS race. LBJ, wasn’t it?

*************

Exactly.

Harris is too dumb to be President.

However, it is very amusing to hear our ‘pearl clutchers’ spin fantastic tales of Harris being President for 10 years.

Kamala will be President soon. She will be picking the VP, and it will likely be the Deep State’s pick: she will be told who to pick.

Xiden doesn’t make it out of 2023, sorry. I don’t even think his ding-bat wife realizes it.

The only vice president I can think of who had any power was Dick Cheney, only because he controlled the Hurricane Machine.

Honestly, what are they going to do if Brain Dead decides to run anyway? He wants to run. It’s a safe bet the entire fake need industrial complex will fall right back in line as they did in 2020 if he rejects the neon stop sign they’ve been flashing lately.

They’re just pretending that Harris is a serious candidate.

Does The Hill know something about the child sniffer’s health that will install the cackler in office?

From Biden/Harris to Harris/Bernie, would keep the old man theme going.

.
Have you seen the TV - and the Dem party?

I don’t know how anyone thinks the Dems bypass her. It could only be for a darker person.

That’s abundantly clear. That is their morals and religion.

Watch a movie made in 21-22.

She might lose but the Dems aren’t going to pick Newsome or Buttigeig over Kamala and her skin.
