Why is Kamala Harris passed over in discussions about presidential possibilities? [View all]

[bigtree]

...I think President Biden will run, and I'm not a fan of making predictions at this stage, with the president assumed to be up for a second-term run.

But its interesting to me to see Vice President Harris out of those conversations. Even more interesting to see the discussions this month center around a white man from California (coincidently the VP's home state), especially when we've yet to have achieved the election of a woman president.

Can't recall when a Democratic VP wasn't considered the heir apparent to the presidency after two terms, and noticing how little consideration and attention is being given the nation's first woman vice president.

Imo, voters made the pragmatically 'safe' choice of a political veteran, a white male, in picking our current president. Presdient Biden as an incumbent would still be the best course for '24, still a historic presidency with Kamala Harris as his second.

But I can clearly see the dearth of interest expressed by the folks looking to make '24 happen right now, even as we face the daunting task of holding and expanding our majorities in the national legislature, in anyone but white males.

Just thought I'd come forward and express how much of a non-starter those choices are for me, personally, now and in the future, and hoping more people feel the same.
