Governor Jared Polis' VP bid: "If they need a balding gay Jew, call me" [1]

['Mark Frauenfelder']

Date: 2024-07-22

Colorado Governor was asked on CNN if he would consider an invitation to serve as Kamala Harris's VP if she offers him the job. He said:

"If they do the polling, and it turns out that they need a 49 -year-old balding gay Jew from Boulder, Colorado, they've got my number."

Jacob Korbluth posted the clip on Twitter.

Here's the witty repartee:

Dana Bash

If [Harris] asked you to be her running mate, would you accept?

Jared Polis

Well, Dana, we're not even there, Dana. I appreciate the question. I love the job I'm doing. You know, I love Colorado. It's great. Obviously, if somebody asks, I 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've got my number.

Dana Bash

That was very funny.
