We’ve heard from plenty of pundits about Joe Biden’s pick of Kamala Harris to be his running mate, but very few are saying what very many are thinking. In his analysis, though, CNN’s Chris Cillizza went ahead and said it out loud, noting that Harris would be ready to step in “if and when Biden decides to step aside.”
Joe Biden made the pick that maximized his chances of continuing to make the race a straight referendum on Trump while also selecting someone whose resume suggests being ready to step in, if and when Biden decides to step aside. | Analysis by @CillizzaCNN https://t.co/Ek4d6sfGfT

This was the plan all along.

At least TRY to disguise the grand plan.

Biden hasn't even won and you're already talking him "stepping aside" that's real promising
— CJ (@BuckeyeBeachbum) August 12, 2020
Wait — the talk is that he's going to step aside?
He isn't even President yet and we're talking about him walking away?
— BruinEric (@BruinEric) August 11, 2020
Oops, y’all said the quiet part out loud ?
— Chipper Jonesin’ (@bcalhoun27) August 12, 2020
So Biden is stepping aside if he wins???
— MatthewJshow (@MatthewJshow) August 11, 2020
They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. ? This needs to be mentioned on the debate stage.
— Carrie Hickman (@biginspiredlife) August 12, 2020
Curious ending to your tweet. Is there something about Biden that suggests he may not stay his full term?
— Shaner (@shaner5000) August 11, 2020
Wow! It's almost as if they think he isn't fit to do the job.

Saying that upfront: placeholder Joe was supposed to step down shortly after in office.
— vIаd (@dovgaIec) August 12, 2020
Way to openly admit what we already knew.
— JC (@jcinok) August 11, 2020
Even @CNN knows Biden can’t do the job himself.
— Julie (@julie_in_cali) August 12, 2020
If and when, the writing is on the wall.

Teeing up 25th amendment…wasting no time
— sandy (@sgalicastro) August 12, 2020
If and when he decides to step aside? The boy isn’t even officially the nominee yet. ?
— Seriously? (@THATjsthappnd) August 12, 2020
Already setting up the narrative that this isn’t the final ticket ?

IF AND WHEN
An outright admission from the media wing of the DNC.

"IF and WHEN"
CNN knows Joe Biden is falling apart. He's 900 years old and could croak if he leaves his basement. https://t.co/z2O2WzVQK3
— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) August 12, 2020
CNN literally laying the groundwork for the 25th amendment before they’ve even had the election that’s sooo sad
— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) August 12, 2020
Imagine how awful it must be to be Joe Biden right now. Everyone just assumes you’re dying and know the *hint hint* of your VP pick is the person who’s actually gonna run the country.
It’s actually a goddamn tragedy
— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) August 12, 2020
Wow you’re already predicting he would die in office yikes
— Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) August 12, 2020
Wait, I thought Biden was fully fit for office? He rode a bike! Stelter said so!
