I'm wondering if he's hoping to get chosen as Kamala Harris' VP in 2024 or 2028 and trying to prevent himself from facing a loss.
He wouldn't be a horrible choice for her.
Kind is probably too white for the Democratic base...
Harris almost has to have a white man as her VP though, her being at the top of the ticket is enough of a statement so they'll be looking for someone that feels safe and reassures swing voters. Also, not sure what 'too white' is supposed to mean.
Joe Biden will be last White Man nominated by the Democratic Party for President or Vice President. The base is going demand exclusively female and minority nominees going forward, and I encourage them to insist on such.
People were saying as recently as a few months before Biden's nomination that 2012 was the last time a white man would be on the ticket, or that 2004 was the last time a white man would ever be at the top.
No one said that about 2004 during the 2000s or 2020s
