Kamala Harris is Biden's VP choice.
You can take that to the bank. |
From the NYTimes article yesterday: "The way she [Harris] and her advisers handled the 2020 primary left some in the Biden campaign with significant reservations." Bass and Demings are more appealing in my opinion. I prefer Bass due to legislative experience and because she is an excellent, warm speaker. |
Bass and Demings are appealing, indeed. However, only Harris has the essential experience Biden knows he really needs: Someone who can be POTUS at a moment's notice. |
+1 - black woman with black husband who likes Harris a lot. |
Huh? Bass has far more legislative experience than Harris, including international policy (which Harris is seriously lacking). I like Harris, but think she needs another term in the Senate. |
Harris is more of a celebrity than an accomplished legislator at this point. She has great natural charisma but is lacking in some other key respects imo. |
Sorry, but she carries way too much baggage from her career as a prosecutor and DA. She might have been a more viable choice a month ago before George Floyd's murder. Not today. |
+1 However, Harris only ran for Senate because she viewed it as a stepping stone to the White House. She's put herself first before the interests of her state. |
If I could bet, I bet it's Harris, since she's a Silicon Valley pawn (if we're being honest).
If it was my choice: Liz Warren or preferably Michelle Obama. If it was Michelle I'd want them to win and then have Biden resign and enjoy retirement in Feb. 2021. Michelle Obama w/ Pelosi as VP!!!!! |
I think it's going to be someone who wasn't running for President in the primaries. By now, Trump has amassed reams and reams and reams of opposition research that can be weaponized against the likes of Warren and Harris. A newcomer changes the picture and focus. |
On the one hand, I'm hesitant to criticize any woman for her ambition. On the other, Harris has demonstrated an opportunistic streak that concerns me. She seems to turn in the wind whenever it's politically expedient. |
Hard to imagine what oppo research could turn up against the likes of Duckworth or Bass. |
Bass's only child, a daughter, died in a car crash with her husband at age 23 (I looked this up because I was confused about the wording re: her daughter in her congressional bio). The premature loss of children is a sad thing for she and Joe to have in common. |
Huh? What are you talking about? She doesn’t have much experience governing ...not a mayor, not a governor and is a junior senator. She has not even served one full term. Being AG is a far cry from being able to govern and she has minimal to no foreign policy experience depending on how you want to spin it. |
Harris' DA experience is precisely why she'll be chosen. Remember, candidates run to the left (or right) in the primaries; they run to the center in general elections. It's Harris, folks. |
