Joe Biden: 'Of course' I would consider Kamala Harris as VP pick

CNN). https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/04/politics/joe-biden-kamala-harris-vp-pick/index.html

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday he would consider Sen. Kamala Harris as a potential running mate, a day after she dropped out of the presidential race.

"Of course I would," Biden said. "Look, Sen. Harris has the capacity to be anything she wants to be. I mean it sincerely. I talked to her yesterday. She's solid, she can be president someday herself, she can be vice president, she could go on to be a Supreme Court justice, she could be attorney general. I mean she has enormous capability."

So Joe did say he would consider her as the VP.

I wish he'd mentioned that (important) part of it in his answer.

A president must conscientiously attempt to serve all Americans, and that starts with caring, with wanting to and believing in that as a core principle.

She has been an amazing wife, life partner and mother to his kids who love her as their mom, and they call her that. Says alot about a person when your stepchildren call you mom. Jill's influence has softened Joe a great deal through the years, and made him more empathetic and a better person and politician, especially starting his running as Obama's VEEP. Joe will make a great POTUS and Jill a great FLOTUS.

campaigning for her husband in Iowa last week. She was very impressive and looking great. Toned down from
her earlier bimbo-ish look.

Kamala would be a perfect choice for VP; It would be a strong ticket. Besides, there's no way he could pick a white male.
