The Democratic lawmaker may have outdone Nancy Pelosi in his noncommittal answer to being asked about Harris as Biden's 2024 running mate.
And the dodge was on. Raskin pivoted to the “deluge of propaganda” from the MAGA right.
Tapper accused Raskin of employing Pelosi’s strategy of “not answering the question.” Again, Tapper asked the same question. Raskin said Harris “is an excellent running mate for President Biden” but stopped short of his own endorsement. He praised the president and Harris’ record and said he didn’t want to make the issue “about personalities.”“No one’s making it about personalities. I mean, like, it’s just a simple question,” the anchor said.
RASKIN: So, I have not seen any public opinion polling. You might be a stronger vice presidential running mate than her or me or anybody else. I don’t know who else, if you’re talking about the polling. But I will tell you, as a matter of substance and public policy, she’d be an excellent choice. And she and the president have done an excellent job.
