EXCLUSIVE: Joe Biden considered REPUBLICAN Ohio governor John Kasich as his running mate in 2020 after son Hunter and top donor and Walmart chairman Greg Penner devised plan for a bipartisan ticket to 'repair' divided nation
Text messages, emails, and audio recordings from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop show his father Joe considered running on a bipartisan presidential ticket
DailyMail.com can reveal Hunter had back-channel talks with Walmart chairman Greg Penner in 2018 and 2019 to set Joe up with Republican John Kasich
Penner, 52, who is married to Walmart heiress Carrie Walton, has donated over $640,000 to political campaigns including Democratic PACs, since 1999
Penner emailed Hunter in June 2018 saying: 'I'd like to visit with you about some options I've been working on for the 2020 election'
In a call on October 25, Penner named Kasich as a possible mate and revealed the former Ohio governor wanted to meet Joe to discuss the potential joint ticket
'We know it's of interest to John to at least have a conversation. If your dad was at all intrigued by it, we could figure out a way to facilitate,' he said
Hunter told Penner: 'I think there's a nonpartisan or even a partisan but moderate coalition that forms that allows him to win it all'
Later texts to Hunter suggests Penner called and met with Joe: 'After he announces, give me a call so we can figure out how I can support him. I'd also like to meet him'

ROFLMAO!! Perfect! Go with that Joe!
At least Kasich, who's father was a mailman, is constitutionally qualified for the office unlike your current VP.

That was back in 2020 --- though Kasich would have made a much better VP (for what it's worth). :shrug:

His father was a mailman? News to all of us, I'm sure. :laugh:
