“CNN political contributor Van Jones said Wednesday on “CNN Primetime” that Vice President Kamala Harris was “essentially running for president” within the 2024 election due to President Joe Biden’s age.
Jones said, “I even have known Kamala Harris for a very long time. She did a rare job as a DA in San Francisco, because the attorney general and as a senator. And I just think sometimes if the team never really gives you the ball and permits you to shoot your shot, you would possibly underestimate that player. I mean I believe what you will notice going forward is Joe Biden if he’s smart will run a Jimmy Carter Rose Garden campaign. He’ll let Kamala Harris go on the market and do the blocking and tackling on the campaign trail. I expect people will change into increasingly impressed along with her as she gets increasingly opportunity. I don’t think she’s been given the chance within the last two years to shoot her shots.””
“Jones added, “She is in such an unusual position. She’s a girl, she’s black, she’s Asian and he or she’s running alongside the oldest person to ever do it, so she’s essentially running for president. That’s what she’s doing. I believe she understands that. I believe she’s going to rise to the occasion.””
