Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday and questioned the “so-called” leadership of Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, whose state is dealing with the brunt of the Biden administration’s failures on the border — of which, Harris was tasked to address, with the end result being an invasion of illegal immigrants never seen before in American history.
Another exchange that flew under the radar somewhat was a focus on the 2024 election and whether President Biden will run for reelection, with the vice president serving up one of her trademark cackles while offering a response heavy on ambiguity.
“Up on Capitol Hill, there is speculation among some Democrats and some Republicans that President Biden won’t run for reelection in 2024,” host Robert Costa said. “What’s your message to those who say that?
“Listen to President Biden. He intends to run,” Harris replied. “And, if he does, I intend to run with him.”
Costa then said, “Another run by former President Trump is possible. He is signaling that. Would that make it more likely that the president runs?”
“He did it before,” Harris replied, before letting out a Hillary-esque cackle.
Kamala nervously laughs when asked if a Trump 2024 run makes it more likely for Biden to run.
Why is everything hilarious to her

The clearest sign that Democrats are not excited about Biden running for reelection in 2024 — aside form dismal approval numbers — may by a New York Times bombshell piece over the weekend.
Titled, At 79, Biden Is Testing the Boundaries of Age and the Presidency, the nation’s “newspaper of record” said Biden’s age was “uncomfortable,” that he “shuffles” when he walks and that the president’s energy is “not what it was.”
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:

I believe some people get nervous and laugh when they’re about to tell a big lie and if you watch she laughs almost everytime she opens her mouth.
