If asked, Gov. Jared Polis said he would seriously consider becoming the vice-presidential candidate behind Vice President Kamala Harris, who is working to secure the official Democratic nomination for president in 2024.

After President Joe Biden officially dropped out of the race on Sunday, he endorsed Harris to take his spot as the Democratic presidential candidate. The change led to more discussion about who could be her running mate.

Polis joked about the prospect during the Monday morning interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, saying he would consider it if called while noting that he loves the work he is currently doing in Colorado.

When pointedly asked if he would take on the challenge, Polis jokingly said, “Look, if they do the polling and it turns out that they need a 49-year-old, bald, and gay Jew from Boulder, Colorado, they got my number.”

A day before Biden officially withdrew from the 2024 presidential race, Polis appeared on CNN’s State of the Union, saying Democrats needed a “forward-looking alternative.”

Polis said he was worried about Biden’s ability to beat former President Donald Trump. If the election had been held on Saturday, Polis said he felt Biden would lose.

“Look, yeah, I believe in facts. I believe in data. You look at the polls. We are down,” Polis said. “You’ve got to admit that. You can’t pretend like you are ahead when you are down. Can we come back? Absolutely.”

Polis, who was recently appointed chair of the nonpartisan Governors Association, said Democrats needed to change something to get back on track.

“If we keep repeating the way we have been campaigning, we are likely not to see a good result,” he said. “The good news is there is a weak candidate on the other side.”

Referring to Trump as a “convicted felon,” Polis said the Republican’s official nominee is going to increase taxes and cause issues with his proposed tariff plans.

When asked about Trump’s acceptance speech at the RNC, Polis said it was too long, just a “marathon of crazy,” and he couldn’t even get through 30 minutes of the more than 90-minute speech.

“It shows why Democrats should be up by 10 points right now,” Polis said. “Look, we need to be the party with a plan for a prosperous future.”

Polis has served as Colorado’s governor since 2019 and is one name in the mix of potential vice-presidential candidates.

Polis, the country’s first openly gay governor, has gained attention by leading the Disagree Better program adopted by the National Governor’s Association. Pushing a more bipartisan way of getting things done, Polis has been a leading voice in urging the country to return to civility.

In Colorado, U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper have also been mentioned in conversations as running mates for Harris.
