one obviously was senator kamala harris, but another was susan rice, u.n. ambassador and then national security advisor in the obama/biden administration. in her memoir last year, susan wrote last year as national security adviser, her, quote, favorite unannounced visitor at her west wing office was vice president joe biden. her former deputy ben rhodes points out to the "washington post" that biden spent years essentially beginning his day with a briefing from susan rice. when biden announced his decision yesterday susan rice immediately offered her warmest congratulations to senator harris. she called senator harris a tenacious and trailblazing leader. she said she will, quote, do my utmost to help them win and govern. today that history-making democratic ticket spent their first full day on the trail. biden/harris 2020 has launched, and they've launched with the loud backing of long time friends who also happen to be among the country's most accomplished public servants. and although susan rice will not be biden's vice president, it seems quite reasonable

susan rice is somebody you know. of the names on that list, she may be the one that people know in some cases the least, because a the lo of the things she did were not in the news. obviously some of them were, but a lot of them weren't. what do you know about susan rice that america should know? >> look, she has a long history of public service, both surfing as u.n. ambassador and national security adviser for president obama. she participated in all the senior staff meetings dealing with both domestic and foreign policy, so he has incredible experience. she also has a great relationship with vice president joe biden. i noti i know he's looking for a partner. she's well qualified and devoted her life to service. i think what is terrific about this field is there are so many women who are absolutely qualified not just to be vice president, but to be president. we should be focusing, i think, on the substance of their background, their track record, their experience, their temperament, willingness to be a good partner

would susan rice trouble you?licy every major debacle in president obama 's tenure, susan rice was in the middle of. look at china she consistently councilled appeasement towards china. she demanded our military leader s in the pacific not raise china's efforts to militarize the south china sea and create bases out of rocks in the water to extend the range of their planes and missiles. she was right in the middle of the iran nuclear deal. she councilled appeasement of russia going into the 2016 election and then after the election she was at the center of spying on the trump campaign and unmasking american citizens who had been caught up in that. most nominees face the jury of the american people. susan rice be the first one to potentially face a grand jury as well. ainsley: you wrote this op-ed on foxnews.com if folks want to read it but the title is china sanctions won't affect me much but we'll never stop fighting for ccp's victims so china, we sanction china, individuals in china, 11 americans are sanctioned b

this is not the end of susan rice if joe biden wins the presidency. she is likely imposition for secretary of state if that ever happened. you have to win the presidency first. i think joe biden and the biden campaign determined that kamala harris best position and it's amazing how this is full circle because at the beginning of the process, people were saying, before joe biden had a really rocky start if you remember in the democratic primary, they were saying biden harris, it looks like this fits, and that was before he lost the first few . and then they end up getting th nomination. now are back to the beginning speculation about biden harris and that's what the bumper stickers will say. >> at not too long ago, there was a conversation and a particular style that he doesn' hold grudges even though they can sometimes get pretty nasty. we all remember the one he had with kamala harris when she got in his face about the bussing issue and what it was like for her as a child dealing with policy that he was a boarding. but he obviously let that roll roll

susan rice made a lot more sense from both of those points. think you've pointed out some of the deficits for susan rice. clearly in the end, biden figured i can worry about all of that after i am president. i've got to win first. clearly thought kamala harris would be more of a asset going forward in the 2020 campaign then susan rice would be. maybe not as good of a governing partner and certainly not somebody who's going to think of being vice president as the capstone of our career. >> dana: chris, i'm going to have to cut you off. president trump takes the podium in the white house briefing room. >> president trump: the china virus, i want to address the violence, looting and rioting taking place in the democrat-controlled cities of new york, portland, chicago, and seattle. the mayors and governors of these states and cities have an absolute duty to use all resources necessary to end the violence and all of the injury and death. new york city has an army of great bullies. i know them very well. -- great police. i know them very well. the n

a lot of the obama folks would love to see susan rice get the nod. >> yeah.icking somebody like susan rice would be a bit of an unforced error on the biden campaign because it sort of does bring up all the questions about what condoleeza rice and president -t susan rice and barack obama and biden did in the early day of the trump presidency or right before he took office after the election and it raises all sort of questions. there are a lot of serious, serious accusations leveled against susan rice and others. in trying to thwart the 2016 election. that said this is a weird thing that joe biden is in the middle of. on the one hand normally if president or presidential nominees seek to pick a vice president, they are picking somebody who could step in, in the horrific situation where president is incapacitated. every day joe biden raises the prospect whether he is already incapacitated. he is pressured in to pick somebody who could literally pick up from day one. >> dana: from day one. yeah. >> and i think that, yeah. >> dana: it's fun to anticipate and then
