      Exactly… he’s a geezer. She needed to go with someone younger. If we assume she wins (twice), then Walz will be close to 70 before it is ‘his turn’. What a waste. If Dems had gone with someone younger then they could keep the momentum of the youth support AND they’d have someone ready to take over when Harris is done. Now, they’ll have to start over in 8 years.

        I read that he doesn’t want to take his shot at the White House. If Harris wins the election he plans to retire after her second term. She didn’t want a veep who saw her as a stepping stone to the Oval Office.

        Whether that is wise we will figure out on 2028 (hopefully) but if it’s true it provides some context.
