A Horrifying Trip Down Memory Lane

So he picked Joe Biden. And then Joe Biden in 2020 used the exact same criteria … and he picked Kamala Harris. And then in 2024, Governor, I think it’s very evident why Kamala Harris picked you. Mr. Chairman, the talent pool isn’t just shallow, brother; we have hit the shore.” —Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) speaking to Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz

But we still do these briefings.” —Secretary of State Marco Rubio
