29. Biden and Harris

Fri Dec 7, 2018, 01:49 AM

Dec 2018

Biden is evocative of the Obama era, which most Democrats view fondly. Biden would likely voluntarily be a one term president, which would springboard Harris into the White House in 2024, potentially giving us 12 years. I like Amy, but her kids are too young for a 2020 run. By 2024, she may end up as VP.
