Pfeiffer: Replacing Biden On Ticket Was Never Under Serious Consideration
STEPHANOPOULOS: And begin with this book and try to clear some things up. First of all, the bottom line on this potential switch between Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, research was done, correct?
PFEIFFER: Correct.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But what happened next?
PFEIFFER: This was never seriously considered. Never taken to the president. I can tell you, no one in the campaign as well as the president ever serious considered this in any way shape or form.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But then why was the research done?
PFEIFFER: Research is done on a lot of things. Is, I think, Bill Daley, who was chief of staff at the time, said the other morning on another network, it wasn't taken to the president. He said anyone who took it to the president probably have been thrown out of the office. I believe that to be true.
STEPHANOPOULOS: No matter what the research would have shown?
