Maybe.

Looks like Politico let the cat out of the bag a bit early.

Biden picks Kamala Harris for VP President

kgbsquirrel · « **Reply #2 on:** July 28, 2020, 08:23:30 PM »

Biden ain't pickin' nothin' but his nose.

Well, she was "taking a knee" long before it became mainstream.

Yeah, because he really needed to make sure he won California.

Locked the state in, he has. No way Trump is winning it now.

I know she has some serious political baggage and I'm sure Team Trump already has a file on her.

I have not paid any attention to her on the subject (or any subject, frankly) of these recent riots but I'm guessing she's for 'em or at least it can be implied that she is, and that's another area to hit her on in the campaign.

Her name recognition outside of California must be pretty low. She did not do well at all in the primaries from what I remember.

So good job Team Basement you've certainly added an all-side political powerhouse to your ticket!

Stacey Abrams would have been a worse decision. So they did manage to avoid that debacle.

Didn't she do the best of the Dem candidates that were non-white and not an old man? I really doubt the white lady from Minnesota (Klobachar?) is a great choice right now.

I think Tulsi Gabbard would have been a good choice, but she may not support him like he wants. She never had great primary support though.

So the cop for VP? That should go over great.

This.

I guess she's supposed to show that he's down for BlackLiesMatter/DefundThePolice, but he's also somehow the law and order candidate.

She will have less impact on the election than Pence had in 16.

From OP's link...

""Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris to become his running mate for the 2020 election on Aug. 1, two weeks before the Democratic National Convention, after keeping his choice close to the chest for months," Politico wrote about the potential Democratic ticket."

Given Biden's history, phrasing might need to be considered.

I don't know if this will turn out to be true, but I've been convinced the Democrats consider her the future of the party. (EVERYTHING is about identity politics to them.)

So, it would make sense that she would be their presidential pick. (Not a typo.)

Susan Rice is also being mentioned.
Would make more sense to me, far less baggage and she is connected with the most perfect man since Mohammad

Rice is too short. No stage presence.

They nominated Joe Biden. I'm not sure they have the same idea of stage presence as the rest of us.

I thought Pence has been a great VP for a man like Trump (at least in hindsight). His behavior is the complete opposite of Trump yet somewhat complimentary and the traditional values he stuck up for helped reinforce Trump's campaign to an extent. I think he appealed to the voters Trump was trying to get out to the polls.

I don't know if any of the current Dems in the lead would help Biden substantially. Who would bring more positives than negatives? Someone who was not a crazy leftist would be best, but I doubt he will go that route.

I have this nagging feeling that Biden is going to chose Michelle Obama. She's said repeatedly she doesn't want to run for President, mostly because she loathes the campaigning she'd have to do. As the VP nominee, her need to campaign would be minimal, however. And in today's climate of supposed systemic and widespread racism, MO as the VP pick would be almost a sure win for Biden.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if the DNC is in negotiations with her on the QT right now.

Even with her in office they would still make millions. The problem is the will have to release their tax forms.

The democrat drum-beat is to release the tax records. You don't think they would change their tune for their own benefit, do you?

I think Trump will end up release some of his records, but he has successfully delayed that until after the election.
