Susan Rice Will Agree To Be Biden's VP If Asked

The Veepstakes gets raised again! It sounds like she knows she’s officially on the internal list.

Former Obama national security adviser says she would ‘certainly say yes’ to being Biden’s vice president

"I'm humbled and honoured to be among the extremely accomplished women who are reportedly being considered in that regard," Ms Rice told PBS on Thursday. "I know Joe Biden well. I've worked with him very closely. I know he'll be a great president of the United States."

Ms Rice committed to "doing all" she could to help the former vice president unseat Donald Trump come November after previously working alongside him for the Obama administration.

Is it petty of me to be concerned about that for our VP nominee? writes3000 May 2020 #7

I don't think it's a big deal. The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #8

I hadn’t considered that. I can’t recall if it’s common for so many people to declare that they would join the ticket. It seems like more than usual this year.

So women who are in that category are speaking out.

Good.

I like Stacey Abrams but I like Rice too. I like ANY of the women being considered. But I really like these two.

I want Liz in the Senate, but if she is picked GREAT!

Her son is, indeed, a Trump supporter. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/23/susan-rice-interview-trump-family-son And apparently this has been a problem for her family. But he's just a college student, and they can be kind of stupid.

and was more republican for 3 weeks after that (my brother). Within that time authur laffer was at a dinner my brother was invited to and bragged about the napkin to charm the youngsters. My brother went back to being a leftie and managed to bring his friend with him. I think republicans on campus target others. We know Obama was targetted with gorgeous balck women at his first congressiional black caucus event so much so he went home to Michelle and cried he was so disgusted. My brother in law is a big businessman in canada on trips to the us Nialls Fergussen wanted to be friends with him. But he is a supporter of the Liberals and has been called to give advice to Trudeau's government. The 1% is a bit different in canada according to my experiences. The Republican 1% in the USA are definitely recruiting with spy methods and have been for 40 years.

Some of these changes may seem distinctly Trumpian, which is not an association Rice-Cameron has shied away from. His first major undertaking as SCR’s newly-minted president is an upcoming event titled “Make Stanford Great Again.” The event’s Facebook page describes its political message unambiguously: “Trump is great. Build the wall. Deport criminal illegals. Guns save lives. There are only two genders. Abortion is murder. Defund sanctuary city San Francisco. Taxation is theft. Affirmative action is racist. White privilege is a lie.”

...

His mother, who refers to Rice-Cameron by his family name, Jake, summarized their political differences for us: “I would characterize Jake as a conservative — and a more traditional conservative, not a populist conservative. And I would characterize myself as a progressive liberal.” (Rice notes that, today, some might call her a moderate liberal in contrast with someone like Bernie Sanders.)
