    I believe their point is that for previous vice presidents people could say “I think X is ready to be president because they did A, B, and C as vice president”, but we don’t really seem to have that for Harris.

      The way I see it, Biden has to give 110% and keep everything close to the chest just to keep the right from having more ammo that he’s too old and feeble to be president by the 2024 election.

      I have a funny feeling that if Biden were to win 2024, he’d probably spend nearly the entirety of the term with his VP doing most of the work and him sitting back and being more advisory. President is a tough job. Biden is in great shape but 4 years of that is a tough gig on any body.

      This will build Harris’s profile for a run in 2028. If successful in 2028 and 2032 she’d effectively be a 3-term president, just one of those terms with Biden holding the bike seat.

        that’s a bleak outlook. yes, we need to keep trump out of politics, he is a disaster golem, but harris is boring, as is biden. i’ll vote for biden in 24 solely to exclude the other guy.
