Hello and welcome to another edition of the Byron York Show, the no-chit-chat podcast.

We'd like to get right into it and what we're going to get into today is the Democrat's

Kamala Harris problem.

It is real.

The Democratic Party has a unique problem as it considers the 2024 presidential election.

As I've said, perhaps one million times, Joe Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history.

He will be 82 years old at the end of his first term, the term he's in right now.

Now there is widespread speculation, I've engaged in it, that he will not run for re-election.

Because if he did run for re-election, he would be asking the American people to serve

in office until he's 86 years old, which is an entirely unprecedented situation in

U.S. history.

So, there's widespread speculation, and he's not going to run for re-election.

Although he insists that he will, but the suspicion among many in the political class

that Biden will not run threatens to turn him into a first term lame duck, or maybe

it already has turned him into a first term lame duck.

Now, the other thing that this is done is it is naturally, naturally resulted in attention

being paid to Vice President Kamala Harris, who would be Biden's obvious successor, should

he not run.

If for any reason he were not able to finish this term, of course, he would become President

of the United States.

And if he decided not to run in 2024, she would be the obvious successor to run on the

Democratic ticket for the presidency.
