It’s actually comparatively rare.
But that’s counting a whole processing plant’s worth of chickens well before their eggs have even been laid.
So rare that if Harris is elected, she will be only the third sitting VP elected since the adoption of the 12th Amendment in 1804. (The other two were Van Buren (1836) and Bush Sr (1988). )
I guess you would call these “Anti-Chuck Norris” jokes!
Walz fits there.
It is hard for me to see Harris not running for re-election in order to give a slightly older candidate a chance. I guess it could happen if she, God forbid, came down with a life threatening illness, but, that would reinforce the idea of having a younger candidate.
If Trump loses in November, there is going to be a severe allergy to a senior citizen national office candidates going forward. Also, the idea that the same party could occupy the White House for what would be sixteen years in a row (Biden-Harris-Harris-Walz) is a bit implausible.
Walz is the veep candidate, not the future of the party.
Pondering how the VP will be as a President eight years down the road is definitely premature. But we should still ponder how they’ll be as a President, because the whole point of the VP position is that it’s always a possibility that they might be. Yeah, Harris probably has another couple of decades in her… probably. But she could get hit by a meteor or something on the day after the inauguration. Or tomorrow. That’s why we have VPs.
Absolutely. I think the pushback came from the comment that he’ll be x years old in 2032.
Yes, but this extends just beyond the current and next couple of elections. It should be the expected practice for many elections to come.
Are we SURE he’s not Canadian?
I love these!
Big Dad Energy for the win.
Not kidding. When he was a Congressman Walz won the Minnesota congressional delegation’s annual hotdish competition three times with his tater tot hot dish.
I like Walz as the choice. And I agree his age in 8 years is irrelevant. Harris’s pick was all about 2024, not some future election.
I was watching in the run up to the announcement and Trump was attacking Kamala by saying any of these guys would be a better President than her. Countdown to Trump dashboard saying Walz is a horrible choice and is totally unqualified in 5, 4, 3…
And hey, the Republicans want a wall on the southern border, maybe Harris can give them Walz.
The best comment I’ve heard so far is that Walz is the guy that JD Vance pretends to be.
He actually did promise to get a dog for his son if he won an election. They own a black lab named Scout. 
Of course when you posted this 
, I had to look up the recipe. I can’t wait to prep it, though Schell’s beer is going to be tough to come by here in CA.
Both Cream of Mushroom AND Cheddar Soups! Instant heart attack:
Peas weird? Hey all we are saying is give peas a chance …
Dangit, @DSeid , you beat me to it by seconds.
Peas are only weird when used by J D Vance
By the way, Tim Walz didn’t get his hair cut ahead of tonight’s rally in Philadelphia. He got 'em all cut!
Big dad energy!
The nc rally is postponed as well due to Debby.
