Donna Brazile Considered Swapping Biden for Clinton in 2016 Race

HeadlineNov 06, 2017

Former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile revealed Saturday she seriously considered swapping out Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for Vice President Joe Biden—with New Jersey Senator Cory Booker as his running mate—after Clinton collapsed from exhaustion at an event on September 11 of last year. The bombshell came as Brazile published her new memoir, entitled “Hacks,” describing a DNC in disarray, with a Clinton campaign Brazile labeled “anemic” and tainted by what she called “the odor of failure.” Last week, Brazile revealed that the DNC made an unethical agreement with Hillary Clinton’s campaign during the lead-up to the 2016 election—skewing the primary in her favor in exchange for money to keep the indebted party afloat.
