Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is seen as the favorite as Joe Biden nears a decision on his vice presidential pick.

Harris would be the first Black woman and Indian American woman to be nominated on a major party’s presidential ticket, and she battled with Biden memorably on the debate stage more than a year ago.

Harris wouldn’t put a new state in play. She represents California, the largest electoral prize on the map but one that is completely safe for Democrats.

Yet many see her as the least risky pick for Biden, who is under pressure to select a woman of color as his veep, and someone who would be prepared to be president on day one.

“Knowing him, Kamala is the best pick for him,” said one longtime Biden confidant. “Their politics are very similar. I would be surprised if it wasn’t her.”

“I’d be shocked if it was anyone else,” the source added. “You’re getting to the degrees of risk after that.”

Still, sources say it’s not as if Harris has the race locked up.

She brought her knee pads to their meeting ?

That would mean that “natural born citizen” has been dumbed down to mean a natural human (not an android), born (not hatched or cloned) in the United States.

Three Nationality Harris is ineligible..
The GOP will stay silent because so are Ted Cruz, Micro Rubio, Nimrata Randhawa, Piyush Jindal and George P. Bush

About as unlikeable person as you can get. This is good for Trump. She’s nauseating. And racist too.

Yep. If being a mere "born citizen" were enough then the Constitution would have stated just that (that language was considered, but rejected in favor of the more restrictive natural born Citizen.)
