Basically, Biden is not just picking a VP, he's picking the next POTUS.

Biden will not run again in 2024. The Democratic VP will be the front runner for the opening.
Also, and I hate to think it, but Biden may have health issues before 2024. I'm sure these
things factor into his decision. Pick someone who Democrats will get behind in 2024.

1. bullshit

Of course Biden will run in 2024.

[likesmountains 52]

3. No way

[jcgoldie]

5. The tremendous advantage of incumbency alone dictates...

... that you would prop up a comatose incumbent if you had to.

[panader0]

7. He'll be 78 when he is sworn in.

I think he's already dropped some hints that he wants only one term.

[FarPoint]

16. I seriously don't see that happening...

Just my sense of the future...

[jcgoldie]

19. We'll see I suppose

All I'm saying is when you have home field advantage nobody says "nahh lets flip a coin instead."

[FarPoint]

23. I think having this insight...

helps secure our future foothold with a strong VP...thus, this selection is critical.

[jcgoldie]

24. Otherwise...

He might be interested in a weaker one?

2. gop is going to prevent voting, no certifying, 12th amendment will be used.

we better be ready for a response that isnt polite

4. Counting chickens, Paneder0

Let's defeat the Sociopath 1st.

[walkingman]

8. Yep, don't count your chickens.......

[panader0]

11. Agreed. I just think Biden is taking his time to announce his choice

because he also thinks that person will be the next POTUS.

[maxsolomon]

30. When do candidates usually announce the VP choice?

July? I don't remember; 2016 seems like a million years ago.

[ck4829]

6. Or it might be because Trump has dragged the Republican Party down so far

It will be much easier for us to win in 2028.

Thinking two steps ahead.

[Jarqui]

9. Lets focus on winning in November ..nt

[kozar]

10. I've said and posted this for a long time.

Grab a strong VP,, do your 4 years Joe,calm the country down, and sit back,enjoy the rest of your life. Im still on the Kamala wagon for VP also.

12. In the year 2924, if man is still alive...

[Merlot]

13. Nope. He's picking the next VP. We pick the next president.

[panader0]

15. Like I said in the OP, his VP will be the front runner, not necessarily the candidate.

[enough]

25. Exactly, thanks for that. NT

[asiliveandbreathe]

14. For me, when I think about all the advisors Biden has, the VP pick will be one of our best

We have so many women to chose from..I just don't want to lose a senate seat..unless we have a definite D in the seat...we just won't know..Thus, Val Demings IMHO fits the bill..but then we have Stacey Abrams, both women are dynamic...as are..

Duckworth, Harris, or Warren - certainly among the running..but the senate??

Just musing....

[panader0]

20. Harris has a Democratic governor too. He would certainly appoint a Democrat.

[asiliveandbreathe]

27. Good point..of course ...

[tavernier]

17. I won't be around in 2924

nor will Biden.

Psst, check the date in your OP.

[ck4829]

18. It would be an election year though!

And something tells me they'd STILL be complaining about Hillary's emails.

[panader0]

22. Thanks tavernier

[Demsrule86]

21. I think Biden may very well run...he comes from a long lived family and no reason why he shouldn't.

[Budi]

26. And why shouldn't he? If Sanders or Warren ,both similar in age as Biden,

..if either had been the 2020 candidate against Trump, would we be predicting them to serve only 1 term because of age?

Joe Biden will do what is necessary at that moment.
Lets work for 2020 first.

29. Typically, Democratic Party Vice Presidents aren't a good bet for election to the Presidency.

Since the nominees began to choose their own running mates only two VP’s have become President. Truman became President upon FDR’s death and Johnson became President upon Kennedy’s death.

Hubert Humphrey ran and lost.

Walter Mondale ran and lost.

Al Gore ran and lost.

Hopefully, Joe Biden will end that losing streak.
