11. The Other Person In History That Impressed Me So Much As A Potential VP Candidate For Kamala.....

Sun Jul 28, 2024, 01:01 PM

Jul 2024

was Barack Obama.

I remember when he gave his speech at the DNC Convention when he was emerging on the national scene.

I said at that time - this guy is going to be President someday.

And it happened!!!!

I get the same feeling when I see and hear Pete talk.

There's no question in my mind - if I was Kamala - that Pete would be my running mate.
