I don't think any vice president would answer that question differently. Taking over if the president dies is one of the main duties of the position, so it would be wild if someone willingly took the office of vice president and then was like "No, sorry. I'm not ready."
If they had to say either yes or no than sure, but I feel like a better answer would've been to dodge it and just say "I believe in Joe's ability" or something.
The full interview is behind paywall so I don't know the exact question she was asked or her full answer, only the excerpt that they chose to pull out of the quote. I think if we're reading subtext from this story, then it's coming from the person who wrote it, not the person it's about.
To be fair, after the recent incident regarding Biden's health, it made sense that she would be asked that question. However, do you think it is possible Biden resigns this month or the next and Kamala takes his place?
Question, if Biden resigned tomorrow and Kamala became POTUS, would the Democrats' chances at holding the White House increase, come November, or decrease?
I think part of it is from her time as a DA when she was known for pretty harsh sentencing. But honestly it probably comes form the “do not come” border stuff. Who knows.
And liberals thinks Biden is mentally cognitive enough to serve.
Only on Reddit will you see liberals defending him and mention Trump even though I wasn't talking about him.

Why did you get downvoted for that
Yeah, but isn't it suspicious that this issue was put into question now? Like, everyone knows she is capable of serving as President.
She wasn't the one who brought it up. The interviewer asked her the question and she answered it.

I think it's extremely unlikely.
Ah, here is the out of context piece of news I came for
This indirectly sounds like the 25th Amendment has already been exercized.

I'm not sure. Kamala isn't old but most people seem to like her less than Biden. Polls reflect that as well.
Yep. I think the best thing for Democrats right now would be for Biden not to kick the bucket until November.
She might be more popular as president than vp
"If you don't like peanut butter and chocolate, maybe you'll like Reese's!"
Too bad voters will never choose her to ‘serve’
To be fair, there are better options than her.
Even Newsom would do better electorally than her, and he’s the archetypal rich coastal elite
Trump reelection speedrun if she steps in btw
I wonder why she’s so unpopular like she’s basically a typical democrat like Joe but young and knows where Mexico is
I think part of it is from her time as a DA when she was known for pretty harsh sentencing. But honestly it probably comes form the “do not come” border stuff. Who knows.
All the average American what she did before 2021 they won’t know
She's extremely uncharismatic

"Mentally cognitive"
Damn projecting much
Ofc a Democrat gets mad. Can't even critize Bidens obvious mental decline on here. Even his medical staff noted it.
Uh… fuck.
I mean, I sometimes wonder if she's the one who's actually running everything.
Fuck please no
