Self-declared ‘balding, gay, Jewish’ Democratic governor draws laugh from Fox News host
Colorado Governor Jared Polis, who proudly described himself as a ‘balding, gay, Jewish guy,’ on Fox News Monday, is being eyed as a potential running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris in the wake of President Joe Biden’s departure from the race.
Polis fielded questions from Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto Monday and said he’d be open to considering serving as Harris’ vice president.
“If they need a guy who likes dad jokes, who declared his candidacy on Reddit and is a balding, gay, Jewish guy from Colorado, they know where to reach me,” Polis said, provoking laughs from Cavuto.
Polis boasted of winning his swing state by nearly 20 points, including in districts where Republican Lauren Boebert dominated, he told Cavuto, giving him an advantage among undecided voters.

“There are Trump-Polis voters, and yes there’s going to be voters that switch over from Trump to Kamala Harris,” Polis said.
In making the case for Harris as a strong nominee, Polis said voters are eager to move away from the “old divides” that have marked Trump’s and Biden’s presidencies.
“People don’t want a president who is 80 years old. They want someone who is the face of tomorrow, who is in their prime and ready to go,” Polis said. “Kamala Harris is that person and the undecided and unaffiliated voters are going to support her vision of economic growth, versus Donald Trump’s backwards-looking attacks on trade and devastating policies for our economy.”
