that he would. I think the argy bargy over the years between the two of them is too great to overcome in Biden's mind, plus, IF Biden serves a 2 full terms, Warren (as VP she would be the de facto frontrunner for 2028) will be even older than Biden is now if she won then.

Warren would turn 80 only a few months after being sworn in for her first term. The country cannot start to have a long run of octogenarian POTUS's. That is madness.

To put it all into perspective, if KAMALA HARRIS (who all say is so young) had run and won NOW, in 2020, she would have been the oldest Democratic first time sworn-in President since Truman, and only TWO others (in the almost 200 year history of our party) would have also been older when they were first elected. James Buchanan (right before Lincoln) and the first Dem POTUS ever, Andrew Jackson in 1828.

Its going to be Stacy Abrams [View all] demtenjeep May 2020 OP
