If Biden got re-elected, and then became incapacitated to fulfill his duties, wouldn't that make the vice-president take his place?
I mean, Kamala Harris doesn't seem that bad of a choice for president, and neither does Nikki Haley if Biden decided to run with her for the presidentials.
Harris would be fine.
Nikki Haley would be fine but she is in the other party and will never be Biden's running mate. Interesting idea though. She probably will not be Trump's running mate either.
I would rather see a contest between Harris and Haley. Fine with either. Both reasonable people.
..Haley supports a nationwide abortion ban and can't remember what the civil war was about. Reasonable‽
Over stating. She supports a national consensus on abortion whatever that turns out to be. Civil War... that is just pandering. Do I agree with her on all things, no.
Keep in mind that national security and rule of law are now the only issues that matter. Everything else is just arranging the deck chairs on the titanic. Politics is the art of the possible.
Edit: Younger candidates that are not age impaired is important too.
Whoops, you're right, wrong party.
Who's Biden running against in the primaries, is there a single strong opponent?
No strong candidate. There are three. The most serious is Dean Phillips. He is reasonable but getting almost no votes. Way weaker then Haley is on the other side and Haley is likely to go no where too. Though at the moment Halley to me seems the obvious one to support in the primaries regardless of your usual party.
