In reply to the discussion: My gut says Harris will be (and should be) the VP pick, but she's not without a couple flaws. [View all]MyMission
(2,010 posts)I would like to know more, and have learned a bit about the various contenders Biden is considering, especially women of color. The VP could very well become president during Biden's term, even before running in 2024.
I am torn about Harris. I like that she is younger and a woman of color. But her prosecutor experience and record show her hard side, and her lack of warmth and connection to primary voters is telling. Hopefully she can and will work on that.
Also, while it was mentioned that she irritates conservatives, I perceive she also irritates the liberal side of the Democratic party a bit. Those folks went for Warren, like me, or Sanders, Biden, or others before Harris. But I could see her energizing voters, to a degree.
My gut says that a woman who has not sought the nomination might be a better choice.
And a woman of color would be the best choice for showing inclusion and getting the vote out. But if Harris becomes the VP, I'm sure she'll do a good job.
It won't be long before we know Biden's choice.
