What a perfect choice!

She's super strong on multiple levels! And she represent the future of the Democratic party.

PLUS: All the other women who were under consideration have been elevated as a result. They all looked good (and I'm not talking just physically). They all showed their brains. They all have acquitted themselves well. They all are strong. They all have strong, relevant, and credible backgrounds. They all are brilliant, impressive, powerful, accomplished, and formidable women. They ALL make me proud! They ALL shine as role models for my granddaughter(s) - the one here already and the one on the way. They ALL are ready to lead our party, AND our country, into a brighter, more hopeful, and healing future.

AND assuming the Biden/Harris ticket goes all the way, her Senate seat will stay true-blue because Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is the one who'll choose her replacement.

And on debate night, she'll eat Pence's lunch, dinner, midnight snack, and breakfast the morning-after.
