That’s why Biden should have picked a vice presidential candidate who could run a good campaign in 2024. It’s not like Biden’s age was an unknown factor. Biden himself floated the idea of only running for one term back in 2020.
- mmooss 8mo agoAgreed. If the incumbent doesn't run (term limited or retires), the next nominee is almost always the VP if they want the job. Just look at the history: Roosevelt -> Truman (not Truman -> Barkley: the exception) Eisenhower -> Nixon Johnson -> Humphrey Nixon -> Ford Reagan -> Bush Clinton -> Gore (not Bush -> Cheney, who retired) (not Obama -> Biden, who temporarily retired) Biden -> Harris I can't fathom how a party can pick a VP who isn't an excellent future candidate. JD Vance?
- rayiner 8mo ago> JD Vance? JD wasn’t picked for having the best chances of winning in 2028. He was picked to cement MAGA within the GOP after Trump dies.
