Kamala Harris Is Joe Biden’s VP Pick

Posted by Ellen -7841.60pc on August 11, 2020 · Flag

BREAKING: Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris to be his running mate.

From The New York Times:

Ms. Harris, 55, is the first Black woman and the first person of Indian descent to be nominated for national office by a major party, and only the fourth woman in history to be chosen for one of their presidential tickets. She brings to the race a far more vigorous campaign style than Mr. Biden’s, including a gift for capturing moments of raw political electricity on the debate stage and elsewhere, and a personal identity and family story that many find inspiring.

...

A pragmatic moderate who spent most of her career as a prosecutor, Ms. Harris was seen throughout the vice-presidential search as among the safest choices available to Mr. Biden. She has been a reliable ally of the Democratic establishment, with flexible policy priorities that largely mirror Mr. Biden’s, and her supporters argued that she could reinforce Mr. Biden’s appeal to Black voters and women without stirring particularly vehement opposition on the right or left.

What do you think of the choice? Share your thoughts below.

Adam Schiff …. YES!
I like John McKee’s proposal for the cabinet. Wouldn’t mind being the tea lady in his office.

He’s my pick too, Ellen. Getting shivers up my spine thinking about Trump and his creatures getting their just desserts. Susan Rice for SOS, Pete Buttigieg for Defence, Elizabeth for Education, Hillary for London, Stacey Abrams for Housing and Barack Obama for Chief Justice.

Of course, we’d have to have a place for Bemused in there somewhere too.

I think Adam Schiff will be AG if Biden wins. I could see Hillary Clinton as an ambassador, though.

@scooter. What a wonderful idea. AG Hillary indicting the whole Trump criminal clan. Ghouliani, Big Belly Barr, Donald Jr, Eric the Lesser, etc.

Someone on Twitter floated the idea of naming Hillary as AG. Wouldn’t that be apropos, and wouldn’t we enjoy watching her destroy them piece by effing piece.

I, too, would have been OK with Susan Rice, reserving Kamala Harris to replace Billy Barr. However, I anticipate that her portfolio as VP will include oversight of the Department of Justice.

I agree with John McKee that her personality will be a great plus on the ticket. That winsome smile and twinkle in the eye won’t make people forget that she’s been a star in practically every hearing she’s participated in. Can’t wait for the debate with Pence.

I would have been OK with Susan Rice or any of the other women of colour, but I’m over the moon it’s Kamala. With her intelligence, charisma and inquisitorial skills, she’ll have the Republicans shaking in their boots.

At the risk of ‘playing the woman card’, I’d also suggest that Ms Harris’ naughty smile and the twinkle in her eye will do her no harm whatsoever.

Clown in Chief saying Harris was his number one pick for Biden means he’s now even more worried.
