Joe Biden selects Senator Kamala Harris as his VP Pick

[intra vires]

That's easily her biggest knock. Absolutely no judicial record.

She's literally not qualified

It's a true testament to how far Trump has eroded discourse. That would have been the first thing we said a few years ago.

Now they're appointing radio hosts and shyt to judicial positions because they support their ideology.

I disagree, it reeks of the same of the ignorance that has people thinking both parties are the same. The GOP picking unqualified people has no bearing on who Democrats would select. Moreover, purely from a credential perspective, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch were both "qualified" to be justices.

If this was about any other judicial appointment, then it would be worth humoring because she'd more than likely be qualified (well maybe not now since she'a been out of practice for four years).

Didn't really think about it as a maturing of the both sides argument. I have to say I agree.

Liz getting picked would mean that the Republican Governor gets to put a GOP Senator in her place until a special election takes place. No thanks. Keep her in the Senate where she can try to direct Chuck Schumer on the right path assuming they take the majority.

I think people are overreacting to Pres.Obama supporting Liz's plan via tweet. Biden and Liz are not on the same wave length. He said he needs someone that has very similar ideology as him.

Lol knowing Massachusetts they'd just change the law so the governor doesn't have the authority to fill the vacancy even in the interim.

They literally changed the law when Romney was governor to strip him of this authority (in case Kerry won) and then changed it again to give Patrick the authority (replace Kennedy until a special election).

I'm not sure what a black woman, specifically a low (or no) profile black woman ads to the ticket. Biden's performance among black people is impressive, he doesn't need help there. Seems like the far more important thing is picking a VP who can fire up the base, and who is ready to be president. An Atlanta mayor isn't ready to be president, nor is some random congresswoman.

Kamala Harris unfortunately seems like the most logical black choice. Warren prob the most logical choice over all. Whitmer is a good governor but I'm not sure running for VP on a national ticket is a good idea for her, given how much work she has to do. Granted, running for VP is not some super demanding job but it takes time away from her important job - being governor during a crisis/pandemic. It would certainly be interesting because you know Trump would try to restrict aid to Michigan at some point lol. He seems to really have a hard on for her.

It is about Black turnout. Yes, Biden did well with Black voters in the primaries, but the concern is if he will get the turnout necessary in a general election. Any Democratic will carry anywhere from 85 to 95 percent of the Black vote. However that don’t mean they will get a good Black turnout. With the exception of older voters, I feel like it is a lack of excitement about Biden as a candidate. A Black VP do not guarantee a bigger Black turnout, but it might help if they select a good running mate.

I struggle to understand how anyone can think either of those options are a good thing for black people in this country...

What she did in Cali as DA is abhorrent and criminal...

She should never be allowed near another court of law, let alone the SCOTUS...

IMO she should stay in the senate and become a staple there. As much as I dislike her AG record, I think she been a pretty good senator so far. But I agree. Her AG record is disqualifying to me. I also don’t think she brings much to the ticket. A lot of Black people don’t really fukk with Kamala like that.

Biden is most likely going to pick Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be on the Supreme Court NOT Kamala.

Biden is most likely going to pick Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be on the Supreme Court NOT Kamala.

I'm sold on this person here:
Biden says he'll put a black woman on Supreme Court. This California justice is a leading candidate

I'd take her over Ketanji. She's not even on the Appeals Court yet. Biden should put her on the appeals court while putting Kruger on the Supreme Court.

That's why I lowkey feel Michelle Obama would be his best choice. Black people will show up in drovers for Michelle more so than any other female political figure. Young people love her too. She's popular enough to get a decent amount of suburban white women on board as well.

I sure Biden would love to do that, but Michelle haven’t given any indication that she want to jump into politics. When asked she always say she have no interest. I know everyone say that but I believe her. She was a very non political First Lady. Also, why would she be VP when she could of won the nomination outright if she would of ran? Plus we literally don’t know where she stand on most issues.
