I would think Harris would make an excellent US Attorney General.


House Majority Whip James Clyburn told NPR he wants Joe Biden to choose an African American woman as his running mate if he becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.

1. I stand with Clyburn

2. Biden/Harris has always had a nice ring to it.

I’ve suggested it previously. Looks like it might be coming to fruition.

11. +1 Agree.

20. I Was Just Thinking The Other Day That "Biden/Harris" Just SOUNDS Like A Winning Ticket

Additionally, I think it's an incredibly wise choice. When the top of the ticket is old, you have to pair him with someone young, competent, and experienced. Voters have to feel comfortable about the running mate stepping into the job. I think Kamala Harris is a great choice.

5. Kamala's been at his rallies, their uplifted hands joined together...they look engaged!

6. I think their personalities compliment each other.

Joe is kind of low key and Kamala not so much. And they look nice when standing next to each other.

7. Kamala Harris, Stacy Abrams, Val Demmings, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarret......

All very competent women of color worthy of serious comsideration.

Kamala for AG. She will go after Bar aND Trump with no objection from Joe. But Kamala would make a wonderful VP as well.

14. ANY of those women would be GREAT as VP. n/t

[brush]

21. Amy for AG. She's an experienced prosecutor.

[Glorfindel]

8. Senator Harris would make an awesome VP or President

I'd love to see her as Biden's running mate.

9. Biden / Harris, my ticket!

[itsrobert]

10. Harris - A great VP

and ready on day 1 if need to serve as POTUS.

[NBachers]

12. Biden / Harris just seems to fit. There's no extrapolation involved in figuring out if they'll fit

or not.

13. Mss Stacy Abrams

[moonscape]

16. Abrams! Abrams! Abrams!

And Kamala for AG

[Awsi Dooger]

17. Biden needs to be strong enough not to be influenced by this

Abrams is too liberal and Harris is not the type who would fare well in terms of net approval rating during a campaign. She is a prosecutorial barker. I have hosted enough debate watching parties among swing voters to understand how they react to someone like that. Female swing voters would nitpick Kamala Harris from all directions. Harris had a 12% net negative in approval when she dropped out of the race.

Abrams had 42% of Georgians rejecting her as too liberal for the state during her governorship defeat. That should be a disqualifying fact all by itself. Never worry about day to day details when the big picture already points to the headline.

The was a great post in Primaries the other day regarding the "total alignment" that Klobuchar would bring with Biden.

It is foolish to believe that contrast is necessary or beneficial. The midwest is so pivotal to the electoral college outcome we have to unapologetically double up with those states in mind. Everything else will take care of itself.

18. Whoever he chooses needs to be ready to be our candidate in 4 years

[pamdb]

19. Agreed

I have said from the beginning, Biden and Harris. Even before she dropped out. As much as I would love to Kamala slice and dice trump in a debate, I guess we’d have to settle pious Pence.
