Kamala emerges as early Biden VP favorite as sting of debate attack fades
Politico ^ | 5/10/20 | Christopher Cadelago, Natasha Korecki

Kamala Harris was written off as a possible vice presidential pick for Joe Biden last year after a cutting debate performance where she seemed to suggest he was racially insensitive.

Now, Harris is not only in top contention, but Biden aides, surrogates and major donors see her as the best fit at the onset of the process - at least on paper - to join him atop the Democratic ticket.

Biden’s campaign has formally started vetting a group of prospects that includes roughly a dozen women. But in interviews, more than two dozen Democrats, including advisers, allies and donors aligned with Biden, returned to Harris as an early frontrunner. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the favorite among progressives, was also seen as rising above the pack.

Biden and his family were stung by the June debate exchange over his record on school busing. The attack was particularly hurtful because of Harris’ bond with Biden’s late son Beau, also a one-time state attorney general.

Harris is not a very bright bulb. She did not catch on during her Presidential run. Why would she catch on now?

If he selects “sleep to the top” Kamala, he’d probably solidify CA. which he had from the beginning. This tomato won’t help him overall.

Perfect match for Groping Joe: a sleazy, sleep-your-way-to-the-top VP pick.

Kamala Harris is mixed black and (India) Indian.

“Mistress Kamala is extremely unlikeable.”

Did you see in yesterday’s news where the Associated Press style guide now prohibits the use of ‘mistress’? Must use ‘companion’ or ‘lover’.

If Mistress Kamala were a republican she’d be tarred and feathered by the media.
