During an interview on CNN, Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) took a shot at former President Trump by describing him as the candidate “approaching 80” who “can barely get a sentence out.”
“The other side has a nominee that can barely get a sentence out. He’s approaching 80. He brings us back to the past. We have somebody who’s about the future of our country, who’s put criminals behind bars, who knows firsthand how to do the job. And, frankly, can identify with most Americans in a way that President Trump just never could,” the governor said.
After President Biden on Sunday said he would bow out and back Harris, Polis was asked about the possibility of being floated for vice president.
“This is always decided on the top of the ticket, right? So this is going to be Trump, if he stays in and doesn‘t drop out, versus Kamala Harris. And I think we have, really, a lot going for us on our side with a powerful vision for America’s future versus taking us back to the divided days of America’s past. And I’m excited to help out however I can,” Polis said.
“I love the job I‘m doing. You know, I love Colorado. It‘s great. Obviously, if somebody asked, I’d take a serious look at it, but my phone hasn‘t rung yet. Look, if they do the polling, and it turns out that they need a 49-year-old balding, gay Jew from Boulder, Colorado, they got my number,” Polis said.
Harris’ campaign said that her bid had experienced its best ever hour of fundraising, bringing in a whopping $81 million donations less than 24 hours after Biden announced his endorsement on Sunday.
Biden officially released a letter on social media detailing his decision: “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden said.
Several leading Democrats, such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, have voiced their support for the Vice President.
