one of the things i do like about kemal a harris -- kamala harris is that she is young. referred elizabeth warren, quite honestly. the fact that they chose a black candidate to appease people, i think was not a necessarily good thing, but if they were going to choose one, i think kemal is at least very respected as a politician, and she is very qualified. i think that is what matters most about her. host: how old is too old to run for president? think anyone who is going to reach their 78th or 80 in our presidency is too old. but both of the candidates are too old. trump is too old and anyone who can take trump out of office, to me -- you know is better than trump. host: mary in maryland. joe biden will be 78 in november. donald trump is 74 years old. mike pence, 61. kamala harris, 55 years old. she will be 56 in october. catherine is next out of florida. good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to talk about the that the i do believe vice presidential candidates are important. i believe that even more important is that who are chosen because i feel that in john m
