One of Biden’s biggest mistakes was choosing Harris as his VP, she’s been pretty much worthless as a VP, other than doing her tiebreaker votes, but I’m pretty sure anyone in that position would’ve done the same exact thing. Still though, apart from recent history, VP’s have usually been pretty much ceremonial in that role, so maybe it’s more a return to form having someone like her there, rather than a Cheney or a Biden actually being considered a key part of the administration.
Biden being a VP was the only other reason to vote for him besides his stated ability to negotiate with Senate Republicans…
They were both bullshit reasons. When a candidate the party likes can’t win a primary, they make them a VP and then claim that makes them experienced.
Hell, with Biden they even said that wouldn’t happen because of his age, then over a decade later he still became president.
There’s an obsession about name recognition, ignorant of the fact that even the most politically disengaged Americans will know both candidates before the general even starts.
That is the big advantage of the Dems here. If Trump croaks before the election, the GOP has nothing but a field of debris. If Biden does, Harris is still there.
You say that like it’s a good thing. She is very very unpopular.
Has she done something to earn that status? As far as I can tell, I just never hear about her. Over the last three presidents the only time I recall a VP being particularly prominent was when his president’s followers called for his hanging.
People don’t like that she aggressively prosecuted people for weed. She’s a bland neo liberal like the rest of them.
Is this her answer to defending Biden’s age? I am patiently waiting to become president when he dies?
Reading the actual article, the context is not so awkward, at least not because she made it so.
The person asking the question specifically raised the “are you ready to serve if he can’t?”. The interviewer specifically took it there, rather than her voluntarily choosing to take the conversation there.
I remember just about every single Democrat I knew in California DESPISED Kamala Harris…now, they love her…funny how that works.
Sure you did. Looks like she’s been elected pretty handily in her various offices https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Kamala_Harris
She was HUGE on the war on drugs…threw just about anyone and everyone in jail for the simplest of things…so yea, she wasn’t very liked during her reign in SF…
Golly gee. I wonder how she kept getting elected by such large margins. What are you even talking about?
Hey man, it’s all good that she was still winning and throwing people in jail. I don’t give a fuck, I vote more to the Right, so I’m all for tough on crime and punishing people. I was just simply pointing out that she was very controversial when she was in SF. At one time, she was promoted herself as “anti-progressive.” I think her position on drug related crimes help get her support from other voters than just Democrats too.
Hey, buddy. You make it sound like it’s literally not her job. What kind of alternate universe drugs are you in, because most people probably want them to use for escape.
