IMO, doing so is a win-win. In the unlikely event Biden does step aside, she will be in a stronger position to take the reigns, and if Biden does stay on the ticket, he would be smart to talk her up and remind people that we'd be in good hands if g-d forbid his health wasn't good enough for him to complete a second term.

And, therefore would be a poor choice for anything other than where she is now.

Yep... both are Democrats. And, both are falling apart over propaganda. I had thought they were more... aware... than this.

To be honest, these two would not know 'relatable' if it walked up and kissed them on the mouth.

Or support her in a future race. She will make a great VP for four more years. Then off and running in 2028.

Not Relatable? So trump is relateable? To convicted felons and sex offenders and serial lying moral degenerates and to the head shed of the heritage foundation? Wow, what a tough decision.

What does "relatable" even mean, and why does a president have to be relatable, whatever that is? Is it like when people thought W was someone they'd like to have a beer with, never mind that he was as dumb as a stump and inclined to get into stupid wars?

She is an amazing leader. MVP Harris can easily step up if President Biden is not available

In honesty, I was not a huge Hillary fan but there was no way I would have voted for any other candidate in 2016.

She would have made a good president.

... qualified to be president. Right?

President Harris? I wanted her in 2020 until she withdrew.

To my way of thinking the question is when not whether.

The questions like, "what about three years from now," are ridiculous. That's why we have a Vice President!

And like Jamie Harrison said, it doesn't matter what a person's age is, no one is guaranteed a tomorrow.

16. Biden and Harris are a package deal

It is always been that if you vote for a president, you’re also voting for the vice president.
At any given time that vice president president might have to step in and take over the shoes of the president.
So one has to wonder with how much the media/ some Democrats are having with the issue with Biden‘s slight Stutters or mixed up words. People do that all the time, I even seen tonight a news anchor doing just that
a guy probably in his 40s or whatever he did the exact same thing and nobody said “oh you need to retire right now as you bungled that sentence.
I started wondering how much it actually has do with Biden and there worry his age or slight forgetfulness or is it They don’t want a black woman being in charge of the country.
Being a woman is bad enough as in the case of Hillary, but then you add a color and they’re freaking out
Fuckem
They both will do just fine being in charge
Not worried.

Also it pisses me off that many of the ones calling for Biden to step down are not spring chickens them selves.
I am positive they misspeak or mix things up.
So no room to talk in my view.

I feel like our representatives.are pulling a Al Franken.

No matter who is on the ballot against trump
They will have difficulty as in pretty much any race regardless you take a
Chance you will win or lose I know this may be the most important race ever - so we need to help by pushing the vote blue.
If At this point Biden doesn't win I don’t feel it’s on him
I think it’s on us as voters because we let the doubts that are being shouted out get into our head.
Biden has one thing going for him that no one else does that’s in this race. He has more empathy and kindness for our country and the people that are living in it. He also does have the wisdom that comes with age and sometimes he has trouble putting that into words, it’s still there

Sorry about the ramble.

Biden and Harris for the win 2024.

to their stomachs if Joe doesn’t run. Not many people rooting for Kamala - even if that is about 50/50 chance she will be the candidate. The boys club savagely attacked Hillary too - many not turning out to vote for her and voting for Trump.ironic that this a replay of 2016. It would add all kinds of excitement if we were to have a female candidate for president.
