Why Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his VP
Ever since former Vice President Joe Biden announced he would be choosing a woman as his VP candidate, speculation ran rampant about who it would be. In mid-August, just a week ahead of the Democratic National Convention, he announced it would be California Sen. Kamala Harris. Chris Cillizza explains why.

Birds of a feather! We all go with the gut feelings that we have had over our lifetime. Success breeds success, as failure breads failure! "Birds of a feather"! This simply cannot be helped. We are what we are. No one can be a success at everything. Knowing this the question becomes, which party one belongs to says a lot about that individual. Birds of a feather!

The only thing Joe Biden picked was his a$$…then his nose. His "handlers" picked Hairass. You know, his "handlers?" The people who won't let him say more than three words in succession?

@beignet2000
January 16, 2024 at 2:09 pm
He picked her solely because of her race and gender. That's it. Not becauae of the content of her character or her actual aptitude.

We all know it's because she's a woman and she's of color.
Why not pick anyone who is popular, Sanders, yang, Warren.

So dam funny..Joe did not pick Harris! If you don’t think Hillary isn’t part of this decision, think again! Joe can’t remember his name let alone pick a woman. Biden’s dementia train is rolling off its tracks! Trump 2020

All those points are reasons NOT to vote for Biden. It's clear the DNC wants Biden in so he can exit stage left and Harris can become the first diverse female president.
@luleetomas2108
January 16, 2024 at 2:09 pm
1. Because he thinks she’s black
2. To try not to look like the racist is
3. She’s a woman
4. Because she thinks she’s black
5. Keep the black people on the demoncrat plantation for VOTES and VOTES only
6. Because she’s just as evil, maniacal, manipulative, and power hungry as he is!!!!!
If she was so good then where were all the fans for her at when her campaign went to hell??? And she complained that she ran out of money because the white man got her down lol puhlease i think she ran out of cash willy was paying her under the desk when she was sleeping….i mean working her way up the ladder!!!!!

If Biden got in he would step down and she would become POTUS. Nothing genuine about her, she is his attack dog. Shes a psychotic narcissist. Oh wait … another one … 😂

This would be laughable if it wasn't so serious to the world security.
I hope the American people do their due diligence.
Neither person (BIDEN /HARRIS) is creditable or worthy of the office.

Ask K. Harris about her family owning slaves in Jamaica at Browns town.
@jeanjones1846
January 16, 2024 at 2:09 pm
Integrity? LOL… K. Harris the mistress of Willie Brown, integrity? Exactly Right… When she was DA in California, Would hide the evidence and put blacks in jail. But we won't bring that up!
@jeanjones1846
January 16, 2024 at 2:09 pm
This fake phony Harris is hoping to get assaulted by the on the loose, Pro-Biden Sniffer in Delaware!
Setting up his basement fortress for an in-home visit from K. Harris. Watch out now! He'll have to take his mask off for that. Maybe not… she'll do all the work. Lots of past experience with Willie Brown.
