Why Kamala Harris was picked as Joe Biden’s running mate

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden named California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate Tuesday, adding an experienced campaigner with national star power to his ticket.

“I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate,” Biden tweeted.

Harris tweeted that Biden “can unify the American people because he’s spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals. I’m honored to join him as our party’s nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief.”

A barrier-breaking former California attorney general and San Francisco district attorney, Harris gives the Democratic presidential nominee-to-be a vice presidential candidate with long experience in executive and legislative roles, as well as a prosecutorial sharpness that she brought with her to the Senate. She will be the first woman of color to be put on a major party’s ticket.

But Harris has been opposed by some progressives for her record in law enforcement and at times less-liberal positions. Her nearly 20 years in office in San Francisco, Sacramento and Washington, along with her criticisms of Biden during the Democratic presidential primary campaign, could also provide fodder for attacks from President Trump and other Republicans.

She was picked for the same reason that obama was picked , because she is a female and she is colored. They need a colored female on the vice presidential ticket .

Because BLM leaders told Biden if he wanted to secure the black vote, he'd better pick a black female "because it's time".

She was picked because that’s what the damorats do. They have a habit of picking anything for any reason, as long as it’s nothing to do with quality or qualifications. The reason they don’t choose quality or qualifications is because they can’t find that perk in the damorat party. And that’s the rest of the story my friends.

And she is the female obama: practices cultural appropriation: has pretended for years that she was african american, denied her jamaican and indian roots. Wonder who she slept with to get this job?

Biden did not pick her, The DNC did and told him who his running mate would be. They picked her, not Biden.
