Joe is really promoting Kamala

[wryter2000]

She said a few words and then introduced Joe at the press briefing. It seems as if he always has her come on first. It started on the night they gave their victory speeches. Usually the vice-president elect doesn't do that.

It seems he wants to include her in everything and keep her in the public eye.

Love him.

[PunksMom]

1. Me too♥️

[Statistical]

2. I am not trying to read to much into it but if he does intend to only serve one term

then having the VP have more of a spotlight than they traditionally do would be important to setup a solid run in 2024.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

6. This. President elect Biden is a realist & gentleman. Vice President elect Harris is the future.

[wryter2000]

8. This would be true if he wanted two terms

She sure is our future, and I'll happy cry my eyes out when she gets elected president.

[NurseJackie]

10. It's past time. We're overdue.

I don't have THAT long left (statistically) and I'd really love to see it happen in my lifetime.

[warmfeet]

27. Yes, this is the future I want.

It will be a struggle, when isn't it a struggle, but we can get there. Much love to Kamala and to Joe.

[Brother Buzz]

3. I asked Kamala to be the last one in the room.

"When I agreed to serve as President Obama's running mate, he asked me a number of questions most important, he said to me, he asked me what I wanted most ... I told him I wanted to be the last person in the room before he made important decisions. That's what I asked Kamala. I asked Kamala to be the last voice in the room."

[wryter2000]

7. I loved that

I don't remember Obama putting Joe out there so much. Not that he should have. IMHO, this is quite unusual.

[Cha]

14. President Obama gave Biden a lot of

responsibility & it shows..

It's a BFD.

[NCDem47]

4. Theory I have.

Biden's here for only one term. Do what he can to right the ship, then handoff to Kamala for 2024. She'll be a very visible VP.

Just a guess.

[CTyankee]

16. Yes, I believe that.

I think it will be a great service that he does for this country. I never dreamed we'd get our first woman president in this way but it's all right. After a time as his VP she'll will know what she needs to know and be able to take the reins. He learned well from two terms as Obama's VP so I trust him on this. I also admire him. He is a brave man, has gone through so much and retains outstanding qualities: leadership, humility and courage.

[Salviati]

22. I hope that he doesn't feel obliged to do that though.

We're not out of the woods yet as far as it goes with the attempts of the non-so-crypto-fascist element that has subsumed the republican party to take over the country. Next time they won't have such a buffoonish team of incompetents running the show.

We need to do whatever it takes to maintain Democratic control of the government, particularly the presidency, for the next 12, preferably 16 years at least. It will take that long to fix what they smashed in 4, and to harden our systems of government against future attacks from within. If Biden running for a second term raises those chances, then he should do it.

[Hekate]

5. She's getting a Master Class in higher level government from Joe. She'll be ready...

...when her time comes.

[PatSeg]

9. Joe is a real class act

He is giving his Vice President the courtesy and consideration that he feels a VP deserves. Probably also considering that Harris will probably be a presidential candidate some day, so he's giving her plenty of opportunities to shine.

This is a really good man.

[BlueLucy]

11. Joe is going to be a great president.

I noticed he was giving Kamala a lot of exposure too. I also noticed he is keeping his promise by uplifting a lot of people that should have been uplifted decades ago.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Having met Kamala on a couple

occasions,and I have said this before,she is the real deal.

[Cha]

13. Biden's a TEAM PLAYA.. I love he's doing

that, too!

[LanternWaste]

15. Every day, I'm digging Harris as the VP pick more and more.

Not that I ever didn't not like her, but I've recently become aware of her commanding yet genial presence I've never noticed in either a Pres or a VP prior to this, and I've become fully convinced she was the best possible choice Biden could have made.

[grobertj]

17. My prediction is that Joe will be a better President than candidate.

And remember...he won the most votes in American history!! God Bless Joe!

[George II]

18. I've noticed that in the last week or so. They're spending more time together than any other....

....incoming President and Vice President, and they obviously get along very well and have a lot of respect for each other.

This is going to be really good to watch over the next four years.

[KatyaR]

20. Hey George, I've always meant to tell you

how much I dig your gif of Sam. He was an absolute idol of mine when I was growing up. I still think he's the bomb.

[George II]

23. Thanks. Yes, he was a very talented man - not just a singer but an actor and dancer.

[ancianita]

19. My belief is that Biden includes Harris because he's educating her about the office.

She'll be heading projects, meeting with world leaders, and learning decisionmaking that matches her prosecutorial experience.

She will be up against opponents who won't have 1/10th the experience she'll have by 2024, and yet they'll disinform the 22% that she has no right to even run for office!

Until then, they'll be stalking her, flogging their base with their tired, old school "terrorist fistbump" dogwhistle treatment, and she'll be hardcore enough to experientially and rhetorically kick them to the curb.

[Lonestarblue]

21. I think Biden had such a great relationship with Obama that he now wants the same with Harris.

And she is a great link not only to women and minorities, but also to a younger generation. I’m happy with Joe’s actions so far, and I hope he channels FDR for his presidency. Joe has the potential to accomplish great things, especially if Georgia voters turn McConnell into the Minority Leader.

[Thunderbeast]

24. I expect Harris to have a significant portfolio

My guess:

Criminal Justice Reform
Judicial reform
Climate strategies / Energy policy
Election reforms
Education policy

[marble falls]

25. He said it first. He's helping us transition from old white haired white men who look like me ...

... to the real world. I just want to be here to see my primary choice become our next President in four or eight years.

[soldierant]

26. I don't disagree with the one-term theory, but

I think it may be more than that. I am not that much youger than Joe, and I am already having thoughts on li lones of "What if something happened to me." (Granted he's in better health than I am.) I think somewhere i his mind is that if something does happen to him, she will be able to hit the ground running. I pray it doesn't happen, but I applaud anyone who can admit his or her own mortality AND make plans for it. That person is a better person than someone who cannot.

[Ishoutandscream2]

28. Biden is incredibly smart

I believe he knows it’s going to be one term. It’s a brilliant move to sort of “groom” Harris to take the reins in 2025.

[BComplex]

29. He's being very deliberate about all of this. He knows.

He knows what's ahead for her.
