That’s why Biden should have picked a vice presidential candidate who could run a good campaign in 2024. It’s not like Biden’s age was an unknown factor. Biden himself floated the idea of only running for one term back in 2020.
Agreed. If the incumbent doesn't run (term limited or retires), the next nominee is almost always the VP if they want the job. Just look at the history:
Roosevelt -> Truman
(not Truman -> Barkley: the exception)
Eisenhower -> Nixon
Johnson -> Humphrey
Nixon -> Ford
Reagan -> Bush
Clinton -> Gore
(not Bush -> Cheney, who retired)
(not Obama -> Biden, who temporarily retired)
Biden -> Harris
I can't fathom how a party can pick a VP who isn't an excellent future candidate. JD Vance?
