      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.

        It’s her response to an interview question. She’s not openly bragging about this, so I’m struggling to figure out why y’all stopped reading at the headline. The interviewer made it a thing, and she responded in kind. This isn’t “the Biden administration saying” anything.

          So the vice President is not the Biden administration now? This is getting curiouser and curiouser

            You’re clearly trying to misinterpret the situation. The Administration isn’t coming out with some kind of position statement, as if they needed to make their official stance known. They’re not coordinating a message. She was directly asked if voters’ concerns mean she must convince them she’s ready to serve, and she responded with “there’s no question about that.”

            You filled in the rest about them talking out of both sides of their mouths.

              No, I’m not. Biden’s age is a real concern among voters. Kamala said she is ready to serve.

              That’s exactly what she is saying. She’s a politician. The vice presidents answer to responding to Biden’s concerns about age is that she is ready to serve. How do you not see that?

              I get that you would rather have anyone else than trump.

              The writing is on the wall and the democrat party is driving off the cliff to a trump win.
