Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race
President Joe Biden could make a decision within days whether to remain a candidate for reelection, said Hawaii’s governor who participated in a recent meeting with Biden and other Democratic governors and whose family has known the president for years.
And if Biden decides not to run, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green told The Associated Press on Saturday that he believes the president will designate Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him on the ticket.
Green, who was a physician on Hawaii’s Big Island before he was elected governor, said everyone has parents or grandparents who have moments that aren’t that great or pauses in their ability to express themselves clearly. But, he added, they aren’t discarded because of their experience, wisdom and their role in the family.
Green was quick to point out that Trump is only three years younger than Biden and both will have bad days going forward. But he argued that temperament is more important than age.
“For God’s sake, these two guys have to hold the nuclear codes,” Green said. “I don’t want someone who tweets in the middle of the night and rages at other countries. That is not good. That’s not the problem we have with President Biden.”
If that happens, prepare to see the narrative of certain people switch from "no one should vote for Genocide Joe" to "no one should vote for pro-cop Harris." Anything but tell people to stop the dictator from gaining power.
Edit: Wow, that didn't take long.
This effectively changes nothing for me, I’m no fan of Harris or Biden, but they ain’t fascists
Exactly, but that doesn't seem to be an argument they care about.
You are not the problem. Some people can't decide between Joe, and the party that wants to end democracy in this country.
We don't have to prepare for it, it's already happening, at least on Lemmy.
have y'all ever been racially profiled while driving, got pulled over, and had your stuff thrown in the mud?
since it was a terry stop the judge considered 100% on board even with video proof
prosecutor as president is the last thing this country needs
All I ask of people is vote for anything but trump. A sack of potato chips is better.
Not good enough. You have to vote for the person most likely to beat him. It's a numbers game.
Wrong. A vote for Stein, or RFK, or West is still effectively a vote for Trump.
She's also not a white male, so I fully expect them to go all out saying that execrable shit out loud.
I am not pro-Biden, but I'd vote for Harris. I think she's a stronger candidate.
She's a marginally better candidate if he endorses her enthusiastically. She's deeply flawed and unpopular but if Biden gives her credit for everything he accomplished she'd be trading "absolutely ancient" for "former uncharismatic prosecutor".
There are much better choices.
Yup. Not only that, but the attacks from the GOP and media won't stop. They will simply change from "Biden is too old" to racist garbage like "Harris might be our first DEI president" (That's an actual headline from the NY Post, which I refuse to link to).
No matter what happens, Democrats will need thick skin.
I'm not worried about Republicans. I'm worried about the people below who have already decided "don't vote for Harris" before she's even nominated. No candidate will be good enough for them because no candidate could ever pass the purity test. It could be a Bernie Sanders/AOC ticket and they'd find a reason to say you shouldn't vote for them.
If Joe Biden drops out the orange felon will definitely win, says the guy who has an impeccable track record using an amazing methodology that he developed from earth quake prediction.
Pushing Kamala is one way I see to guarantee a loss. People don't like Joe, but people fucking HATE Kamala. We would be so fucked if she was the ticket
The other way would be to bring back Clinton.
