The real issue is not Biden's age -- it's VP Kamala Harris. [View all] ancianita Feb 14 OP

The problem is that the average voter (even the average Democrat) doesn't feel that way... brooklynite Feb 14 #1

And, one of the reasons that bamagal62 Feb 14 #7

Uh, she spends a lot of her time in the Senate, breaking tie votes Attilatheblond Feb 14 #13

Not since Jan 3, 2023. brooklynite Feb 14 #44

That's what I was wondering. bamagal62 Feb 14 #63

I'm not sure it's that voters didn't get to know her TheProle Feb 14 #14

One reason could also be the negative media machine. ancianita Feb 14 #22

I don't think the staff exodous TheProle Feb 14 #23

And how long ago was that? Do you not think she could have grown into high office? ancianita Feb 14 #33

This free press could be the death of democracy yet. It's hard being a parent. There's no instruction manual. jaxexpat Feb 14 #48

Biden did tap her to solve the so-called border crisis. Not sure that was a fair assignment. Silent Type Feb 14 #19

That is not as unusual as a lot of people think. Lochloosa Feb 14 #39

Was it her "cackle"? sheshe2 Feb 14 #67

Seriously, women laughing is a real trigger. betsuni Feb 14 #70

It's because she's a woman. Period. zanana1 Feb 15 #91

Democrats are uncomfortable with a woman as President? brooklynite Feb 15 #92

I think so. zanana1 Feb 15 #93

Remember Hillary Clinton? brooklynite Feb 15 #94

She should have been the clear winner. zanana1 Feb 15 #95

I heard a right wing nutter radio host use that as his excuse. StarryNite Feb 14 #2

My brother who's a die hard democrat said the same thing Tribetime Feb 14 #18

Will VP Harris be debating Tuck, Stefanik, or J.D. Vance? /nt bucolic_frolic Feb 14 #3

That could be fun. Think. Again. Feb 14 #4

I'll go with SarahD below. For all we know trump could pick his biggest donor. ancianita Feb 14 #12

It is "interesting" to say the least. SarahD Feb 14 #5

Possibly, Trump won't reveal his running mate because he is still auctioning off the position? Attilatheblond Feb 14 #15

Meanwhile, Trump's loyalties sprouted from Russian dictators and European fascists bucolic_frolic Feb 14 #10

The press depends on you to not know Harris's accomplishments. They've lived and breathed Trump, who ancianita Feb 14 #20

You echo my concerns as well ScratchCat Feb 14 #21

Biden believes that only he can beat Trump because he did it in 2020. elocs Feb 14 #46

I strongly disagree. I think you may be misjudging him. crickets Feb 14 #56

I will not judge some person until I see them in action. chouchou Feb 14 #16

Kamala Harris has grown into the job as VP. I was concerned when Biden picked her, but not anymore. patphil Feb 14 #17

I don't think she has been given enough time to shine. Not sure why but it should change. twodogsbarking Feb 14 #24

Disagree. sheshe2 Feb 14 #59

Yep. twodogsbarking Feb 14 #64

She's doing exactly what people say they want: go around the country and listen and talk with them. betsuni Feb 14 #69

Yes she is! Just look at this. sheshe2 Feb 14 #71

Again, exactly what people say they want, a Democrat popular with young people! betsuni Feb 14 #72

She was my pick from the beginning. byronius Feb 14 #26

Agree. She is the future. Biden chose well. ancianita Feb 14 #30

It's her affect. I said this during her 2016 campaign, when I supported her. maxsolomon Feb 14 #27

I have no doubt in Kamala Harris's ability to lead this nation SouthernDem4ever Feb 14 #35

Agree. Or any VP running mate they'd choose. ancianita Feb 14 #38

My friends don't like her because they say tavernier Feb 14 #36

Interesting. Guess they stopped noticing her. Here's what my friends have noticed. ancianita Feb 14 #41

To be fair, I'm theonly oolitical fanatic (as my kids say) tavernier Feb 14 #45

I hear you. Don't they get news on the Internet? I'm kinda surprised that tv's their only media source. ancianita Feb 14 #47

Nope. Amazed as we political wackos might be, tavernier Feb 14 #68

I agree. I'm sure Trump will play up the VP choice given Biden's age. jalan48 Feb 14 #40

Aye. I think you got it. captain queeg Feb 14 #49

Ageism, racism, sexism. All wrapped up in a bow for the rubes...nt Wounded Bear Feb 14 #50

You nailed it, Hekate. sheshe2 Feb 14 #60

First 2 years of Biden's administration, there was a 50/50 senate, Kamala was the tie-breaker. justareader Feb 14 #55
