Title: Biden picks Kamala Harris for VP.

Maybe.

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

 ;/ 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.

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.)

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.

If memory serves, McCain didn't announce that Palin was his running mate until the GOP convention.

Of course, the decision was probably made well before then.

There are just so many clips of Biden saying off the wall stuff, getting confused and seeming to be disconnected it's hard to ignore.

Does anyone else wonder just what having him as the nominee is supposed to accomplish?

It is just so bizarre that one of our two parties has chosen and continues to support somebody who doesn't even seem to be able to campaign.

What is worse is the country has acclimated to it and moved on, with some actually pledging support to him.

It was weird when Trump ran and then won. This is a whole level or two up the bizzarro scale.

He wasn't even a good candidate back when he had control of his faculties.

Our elites really do despise us.

I think the Democrats are going through a little bit of what Republicans went through in 2012.  They had a bunch of candidates that all had problems of one kind or another and ended up with effectively the weakest candidate.  The question to me is will an outsider come in on the Democrat ticket in 2024? 

I would believe other powers were running things if Jeb Bush had won.  Not sure I buy that with Trump since was a complete outsider.  I guess that speculation could go on endlessly.

In some ways, O'Biden/Harris is a logical ticket, for the anti-logic Democrat Party. Because America is so hopelessly, intractably white supremacist, no black president could ever be elected. Ever. Obviously. Because we rejected the Most Qualified Sentient Being Ever to Tread the Globe, just because she was a woman, it's obvious no female president will ever be elected. So it makes Democrat-sense to get people to vote for a white guy, so we can have a black chick in the Oval Office.

So we're all adults here.  There are just a ton of things we can criticize Kamala Harris for.

Her alleged sexual conduct is probably not very relevant to the VP role, and if it were there are non Jr. High School ways to do it.


I'm pretty sure there's even a sticky about that kind of thing.

So far. When is the ideal time for Joe to die or become clearly(more) incapacitated on the campaign trail? I think it is 72-96 hours before the election, enough time to get the sympathy riled up and to introduce the reluctant, somber, and patriotic replacement, but not enough time for that replacement to get attacked while we are all mourning.

I don't think Michelle would settle for a VP slot. And if Biden were to drop out (or drop dead) before the election, I doubt Harris would want to run as VP candidate under Michelle. And neither of them would want to run as VP candidate with HRC as the candidate for P. They'll keep Biden on life support through the election.

Although for this conversation we should probably be talking more of the 8 that became Pres due to the Pres dying in office.  That's the more likely statistic.

I tend to agree.  I don't think Michelle really has that aspiration.

If Biden has a say in it, he would want to stay until after inauguration.  I would think it was less risky to talk him into resigning for his health shortly after actually becoming President. 

However, that is all fantasy as I think they will be watching Trump from home next year.

Of course, Biden doesn't have to die, just resign. And if not, we'll have the dark comedy of Trump's opponent being the one who actually gets 25th amendmented.

Even if Biden serves a full term, if Harris is seen as being the hand rocking his hospital bed, she could run as a quasi-incumbent.
