Joe Biden Hints That Kamala Harris Could Be His VP...👩🏽

[Iamaartist]

Daryon Jackson, who was formerly Senator Kamala Harris’ political strategist, flagged video on Thursday of former Vice President Joe Biden saying he was looking for a VP who matched his ideals like Kamala Harris or another woman. Jackson then noted that it sounded like Harris was his top pick

“I’ve been begun thinking about that in terms of both women, women of color, Latinos, and men of color. But also, on others who share my philosophic view of what to do,” the Democratic candidate for president said.
Asked if Kamala Harris would fit that bill, Biden said, “I think so.”


“I think so, but again I’ve not spoken to Kamala Harris about that and it’s presumptuous of me to do that. But I think Kamala Harris is someone — but look, there’s a number of women who –”
Biden then refused to name the women, saying he’d get into real trouble to do so. But he said he’s beginning to talk about it with his close associates



Chairman of the Dem Coalition Jon Cooper tweeted, “Raise your hand if you think a @JoeBiden/@KamalaHarris ticket would mop the floor with Trump/Pence,” and within an hour had 1.7 thousand retweets



Oh the look on the orange con's face if it happens...


Go Joe ….😎

1. I still have my money on Stacy Abrams.

[Iamaartist]

4. Anyone he picks is ok with me I trust his judgement.....

[OnDoutside]

13. I'm sure they'll be fine but just on the guesswork, he will probably need

a contrast in terms of energising the campaign. For me, an African American woman from the south would be the optimum choice, even better to have a magnetic, energetic, eloquent, super campaigner like Stacy.

[Lucid Dreamer]

80. I think Joe should announce that he would pick several of his "opponents" for

positions as VP and cabinet members and directors.

There is a wealth of talent if you look back through the first 20+ primary debate participants.
And there are some floating people w/ talent like Abrams that should tapped.

My dream is that all the supporters of the multitude of candidates we had in the beginning are now assets as participants in the next government. All of the DU bickering could settle down if each of us were assured that our preferred candidate would have some say.

I preferred Harris. I am sorry she is out. But I would be elated to see her as or VP or AG pick by Biden [or ANY OTHER candidate.

I am hoping that one candidate can get future staff structure figured out and made public early. There are a lot of advantages to that.

...just dreaming...

[Submariner]

5. It would be nice to see her burn that cracker in the GA governor's chair

[OnDoutside]

7. If she doesn't run as VP, I agree that she will wait.

[CottonBear]

17. Stacey Abrams would be an amazing VP as would Kamala Harris as well.

This Georgia woman is rooting for Abrams, but Harris was my first presidential candidate choice before she dropped out. Either woman would bean excellent Attorney General as well.

[OnDoutside]

20. True, though do you remember that story that emerged around

June/July last year of Abrams being lined up by Joe. It was quickly denied but it stuck with me.

[CottonBear]

23. Yes, I do. Abrams is incredibly smart, dynamic, energetic and has that special spark...

...that “It” factor.

I sure wish that she was my governor now, but that race got her national and international attention.

Biden-Abrams with Harris as Attorney General.

[OnDoutside]

31. +1

[PatSeg]

48. My top two choices are

Stacy Abrams and Kamala Harris. Either of them would be outstanding.

[OnDoutside]

55. Yes, definitely, and a balanced ticket.

[LaurenOlimina]

59. Better choice.

[honest.abe]

2. Perfect!

She was my candidate before she dropped out.

[MontanaMama]

3. Mine too.

I welcome Kamala to the ticket.

[Progressive2020]

6. Strong Ticket

I think that a Biden/Harris ticket would be a very strong ticket.

[Iamaartist]

9. I trust his judgement in whoever he picks as VP

[Iamaartist]

11. K&R

[Squinch]

8. I would have to dress in a tutu and dance joyfully to my polling place to vote for that ticket.

It won't be pretty.

[Iamaartist]

10. LOL

[Celerity]

25. pics or it didn't happen

[Squinch]

30. You'll be sorry!

[Celerity]

32. lolol

[Squinch]

33. It's in April. I might choose a fetching Tyrannosaurus Rex costume.

Or wait!!! A T-Rex in a TUTU!!!!!

[Celerity]

35. ...

[Squinch]

38. YEAH!

[Bayard]

78. Lots of giggles before heading to bed

Thank you!

[Cha]

73. lol

[PatSeg]

49. Be sure to take pics and post them!!!

[Qutzupalotl]

12. That would really excite the base.

I’m already on board, but I would be enthusiastically 100% on board, and I’m not alone.

We need to STOMP the Nazis out of the White House, totally repudiate and embarrass them, and make them see that their abhorrent opinions are not popular. Biden/Harris would do that.

[PatSeg]

52. Do you suppose the campaign

does or will do any private polling to see what would excite voters. I wonder if the excitement for a Biden/Harris ticket that we see here is representative of how others feel.

[Qutzupalotl]

61. If they're smart, they read DU. :)

But I think Biden/Harris is a common refrain now. It seems like an obvious choice among many good possibilities.

[PatSeg]

64. Yes, I suppose it does seem rather obvious

but I spend so much time here, I'm not sure how the rest of the world views any of this.

I wonder how many campaigns check out DU. I remember when Elizabeth Edward was actually a member of DU.

[PunkinPi]

81. Recent Emerson poll...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287551283

[PatSeg]

82. That's interesting

Thanks!

[PunkinPi]

83. I thought so too, and you're welcome. nt

[pecosbob]

14. IMO Harris would be better with the only candidate that has said she will put Trump, et al. in jail

[Celerity]

26. I thought Senator Warren said she would as well, and so did Eric Swalwell

[pecosbob]

79. Sorry...I meant Senator Warren + Senator Harris

Together they could clean house

[peggysue2]

15. Not surprised by this

Earlier when questioned, Biden said he would consider Harris for any position she wanted in a Biden Administration. I assumed that included the VP spot. It would definitely set Harris up (she was my second choice) for a prime shot at the WH in the future.

I could definitely support that suggestion!

[Iamaartist]

19. I wll support Joe who he picks..I trust his judgment from day one..I already voted for Joe..

[peggysue2]

21. I voted for Biden last week, Iamaartist

I agree, btw. Whoever Joe Biden selects, I'll support.

The good thing? He has a wide range of really excellent people to choose from. My other fav is Stacey Abrams.

But I too trust Biden's judgement in this matter.

[The Genealogist]

16. I love it! Do it Joe!

Senator Harris would make an excellent VP! I love her ability to cut right through bullshit, a trait which would serve her well. I really want to see her as president someday.

[mcar]

18. Love that idea

[msongs]

22. sorry joe but tulsi gabbard is no longer available lol nt

[DAMANgoldberg]

24. California has a seriously deep bench...

were that to happen. It's more likely than Elizabeth Warren or Amy Klobuchar. They are needed in the senate. Plus I'm also jonesing for Al Franken in the administration somewhere.

[PatSeg]

27. If it was Harris

Maybe Gavin Newsom could run for the senate.

[DAMANgoldberg]

29. He is fine where he is...

Interim: former senator Barbara Boxer

Permanent: don't follow the state's politics, just off the top of my head, Ted Lieu and/or Adam Schiff come to mind. Katie Porter needs more time in the house IMHO.

[PatSeg]

34. I think Gavin's long range political plan

is to get to the White House. He has been strategic with his political choices - mayor of San Francisco, Lt. Governor, and then governor. Some thought he would try for governor after being mayor, but he took his time and was part of a winning administration with Jerry Brown. I think he would make a great presidential candidate some day. I just thought he might want to try the senate first, but 2021 would be too soon for him to leave the governorship.

Ted Lieu, Adam Schiff, or Katie Porter are all great choices. California has so much great talent. I think I'd might prefer Schiff to be the next Speaker of the House. He's earned it. I can't imagine anyone better, well after Nancy Pelosi. He's a natural leader.

[DAMANgoldberg]

36. I tend to agree

He has executive talent out the wazoo, but seemingly no desire for legislative positions. Mayor/Governor track is IMO the best training for the Presidency and he has followed the script so far. After all, if you can govern California successfully, the Presidency would be in the wheelhouse considering California would be a Top 10 country by itself.

Ted Lieu may be better for the Senate but he has no path to the presidency unless the rules were changed, so speakership could be a non-starter.

[PatSeg]

40. You know, I think you're right

Newsom seems like the type of person who thrives best in executive positions. I don't think he would be terribly happy in the senate, he is more a decision-maker than a legislator. Going from governor to president is a natural progression - Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and GW Bush.

Yes, Ted Lieu for senate and Adam Schiff for Speaker of the House. Should be let them know we've planned their political careers for them? I think we're pretty good at this!

[DAMANgoldberg]

41. Somebody has to...

It's amazing what you can do politically when you can go 2-3 deep at every position, to put it in sport team terms. That is why it's so important for the grassroots and local pols to step up and make things happen.

[PatSeg]

43. We should hang up our political consultant shingle!

Of course, we could be observing what these people already know.

[NBachers]

63. This San Franciscan has a smile while reading these posts.

[PatSeg]

66. Hi there!

I was in Sacramento for nine years. That is when I fell in love Mayor Newsom! Such a rare charismatic candidate, like something out of a movie. "Did you see what Gavin Newsom just did?" my daughter would call and ask. He just blew us away. He was almost too good to be true and we kept waiting for the letdown, but it never came.

Greetings to San Francisco, wonderful city!

[awesomerwb1]

28. I would have to change my undecided icon

ASAP if that were to be the case.

[onetexan]

37. i'm under the impression he means she is qualified for the VP position and a possible

BUT he's gotta win the nomination first.

[Mosby]

39. I would rather see Amy.

Harris doesn't bring much to the table except baggage.

[Owl]

47. Yes Amy would be great!

[irisblue]

69. What baggage please?

[Gothmog]

42. I would love a Biden/Harris ticket

[bluestarone]

44. Would be great!

I think Abrams as the VP and Harris as the AG would be even better! To add here could we lose her senate seat? I hope not! We need the numbers!

[Sloumeau]

45. Biden/Kamala would rule!

However, if Kamala does not want VP, there is still AG, Sec. of State, and SCOTUS! All would be sweet!

[johnnyfins]

46. She would make a great VP

but I'd rather see her as AG. There will need to be someone good in that position to clean up this Barr/Trump mess. And forget about the look on Trump's face. I wanna see Moscow Mitch shit his depends.

[bucolic_frolic]

50. Is anyone making Trump-upside-down orange mops? /nt

[Just_Vote_Dem]

51. Do it Joe!

[videohead5]

53. California

Will vote for a Democrat over Trump no doubt so you would not need Harris to help win the state. Stacey Abrams could help Biden win the state of Georgia.

[honest.abe]

57. I dont think we have much of a chance winning GA.

Harris has appeal outside CA. I like her style and her background is excellent for a general election.

[videohead5]

71. Stacey Abrams did come very close

To being the governor and the demographics keep changing in Georgia. I like Harris a lot so it would not bother me.

[honest.abe]

72. Yes she did. Probably cheated out of a win actually.

Anyway I would happy with her as well. We have some very good VP candidates to choose from. I think Susan Rice should be on the short list as well.

[Codeine]

54. Fuck yeah!

Harris was my first choice.

[evertonfc]

56. I like Harris but prefer someone from Southeast

If Biden is trailing badly after Super Tuesday he might be well served picking a vp before convention for some momentum

[TwilightZone]

58. I'd vote for that.

I'd vote anything in blue, but that ticket is very appealing. So is Biden/Abrams, though I think Harris is a stronger pick because Abrams is still pretty new to all of this.

[SergeStorms]

60. That would be an amazing ticket!

I'd be gloriously happy with a ticket like that. Harris was my first choice, and a strong woman on the ticket would be great for Democrats. Joe? Not my first choice for president, but I'd have a lot more confidence in Joe than in Bernie. It's a long way off yet, but it's a great idea.

Biden/Harris = Donald Trump defeat!

[Gore1FL]

62. She would be a good choice for any of them.

It's usually rare the VP comes from those who ran for the top spot, though.

[highplainsdem]

65. That would be an impressive ticket.

[Guilded Lilly]

67. Oh, that this would become reality!!!

[Happy Hoosier]

68. Give her a call. Make the offer. Campaign together

Could make a difference on Tuesday.

[LaMouffette]

70. Every time I've seen Kamala Harris in a Senate hearing . . .

I've been over-the-top impressed by her intellect and no-nonsense demeanor. She reminds me of that tough, strict but fair, high school principal whom you do not want to run afoul of because she sees right through your lame-ass excuses for whatever misbehavior resulted in your being sent to her office. She would make a wonderful vice president and subsequent president. I would love to see a Joe Biden / Stacy Abrams ticket as well!

[xmas74]

74. I called it after their first debate.

It fits so well, not just in more obvious ways but also a great geographic balance.

[world wide wally]

75. I said this back in October

Biden/Harris

[obnoxiousdrunk]

76. All Joe has to

do is win that nomination.

[peacebuzzard]

77. Dream team n/t

[progressoid]

84. Is that going to help win the rust belt?
