OAITW r.2.0

If I were Biden and Warren -

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by GP6971 (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I'd be announcing, ASAP, that they would run together as a team.

President Joe handles international triage on our reputation. That will be a full time job, right there.

Vice-President Elizabeth works with Congress to develop a budget that reflects the present reality - one that demands serious economic change and restructuring.

Joe could/maybe should be a 1 termer, but if Sen. Warren can get the economy going in the right direction, I can see her as invincible in 2024.

This would be a solid, economically progressive Democratic team.

You might need to post this in the Primaries forum. But I'd go for that ticket.

I think the op was suggesting that they could join forces now (which would necessitate Warren dropping out) and run together. Wasn't it Ted Cruz who announced Fiorina as his running mate in 2016?

A quid pro quo. Joe's President and handles the big picture, internationally. She has absolute say on domestic issues - economic and social.

We are going to need two Presidents to repair the 20 year damage of Republicanism.

I think it informs the electorate by knowing who will be in the VP slot.

Not really worried about Democrats thinking outside the box.
