    Is this her answer to defending Biden’s age? I am patiently waiting to become president when he dies?

      Isn’t this what every vice president does? It’s literally the job of the vice president.

      I’m sure Pence was just waiting for Donnie to choke on a hamburger.

        From New York city conman to whack a doodle evangelical… There truly was no upside.

        Sure but this means the Biden administration is simultaneously saying that Biden is not too old to be president - but that if he does happen to die of old age then Kamala is ready to serve.

      Reading the actual article, the context is not so awkward, at least not because she made it so.

      The person asking the question specifically raised the “are you ready to serve if he can’t?”. The interviewer specifically took it there, rather than her voluntarily choosing to take the conversation there.
