“She’s a polished and effective campaigner who could credibly become president.”
Today’s Boston Globe:
In the history of presidential politics, it is rare that a major party candidate has an obvious best choice for a running mate.
This year is different. California Senator Kamala Harris is the right choice for Joe Biden.
Harris’s political skills and experience on the state and national political stages make her a strong vice presidential contender, but what solidifies her case is that the person at the head of the ticket is an older, white male in a party that is trending in the opposite direction. Biden has already pledged to pick a woman as his running mate, and since he is 77, it is important that he selects someone who is younger and who will be viewed as able to take over the job.
Harris is 55 years old. She has won statewide election in California, has already run for president, and has executive experience, having served as her state’s attorney general.. She is Black and would bolster Biden’s already strong support among this critical constituency. Turnout among Black voters in key battleground states is absolutely crucial for Democratic hopes in November. If Harris can move the needle even slightly with Black voters that could make the difference between victory and defeat.
Michael Cohen make a strong and obvious case For Kamala. For the People, because Justice is on the ballot.
This is a serious matter.
