Jill Biden hints odds are against Kamala Harris as Joe Biden veepstakes pick up
Washington Examiner ^ | March 06, 2020 | Naomi Lim

Jill Biden opened an old wound with Kamala Harris as the California senator's name circulates as a possible running mate for Joe Biden.

Harris's standout moment during the 2020 Democratic primary was her takedown of Joe Biden during last summer's opening debate in Miami. The political grenade caught the two-term vice president's campaign off-guard because of her friendship with his son Beau Biden. The pair were the attorneys general of California and Delaware, respectively, at the same time.

Jill Biden, during a breakfast fundraiser in upscale Glencoe, Illinois, recalled her husband's shock when Harris took him to task for opposing federally mandated busing during the 1960s and the 1970s. Harris was bused to school as a child growing up in Northern California, but she dampened the attack after confusing her own position on the issue.

“Our son, Beau, spoke so highly of her and, you know, and how great she was. And not that she isn’t, I’m not saying that. But it was just like a punch to the gut. It was a little unexpected," the former second lady said Friday of her late son.

I think Biden will tap someone like Deval Patrick for VP.

He will defiantly select VP based on race and sex, not qualifications. I think it would wise for President Trump to ask Pence to step aside and put Candace Owens or someone like her to help ensure a win. Again, I am sure Pence is a good guy but he is as plane milk toast as you could get. I also have serious doubts that he could win the Presidency in 2024. Not only would someone like Owens help us this election but it would set her up to be the first female President in the future.

I don’t see Harris wanting to take the veep spot anyway. She’s wants to be president.

Well plus she’s such a sweet. Ain’t going to be her, and not Abrams, either. With all due respect to Governor Abrams, she’s too ugly and too fat. God forbid Biden should be elected but, just in case, I hope “Dr” Biden is careful in the choice. I’d lay good money on Joe not finishing his term

If, God forbid, Biden were elected president, Jill Biden could be the equivalent to Edith Wilson, the de facto president for another incapacitated Joe. Just ask Thomas Marshall.

IMO, Jill's the driving force behind Joe running for President. She sorely wants to be FLOTUS, she saw the adulation and nonstop praise that Moochelle received, and now it's her turn.

As he gets more detached from reality with each passing day, he’ll probably announce Harry Truman will be his running mate.

How is her hair hygiene? We know she eats with a comb, so does she shampoo with salad dressing?

That could be a problem. Joe will really need a designer salon brand in that position...

interesting- I wonder why Harris thinks she’d be a good Chief Executive. Of all people, why does SHE want to be president?

Write it down, put money down in Vegas, it’s going to be Stacey Abrams. Hollywood thinks she should be Governor of GA & so does she. The only thing that may stop her is if she has to resign from an office she doesn’t hold.

Yup. Gabbard could pick up the pieces as she and Gropy Joe campaign riding in the No Malarkey bus.

Given that QuidProJoe is already at death’s door, Democrats and other morons will be voting for his VP, so s/he had best be a YUGE draw.

Her background is that that of an American black and blacks from other countries really do not like American blacks at all. I’ve seen it way too many times.

It would be pretty risky for Biden to add her to the ticket. Only a matter of time before he confuses her with the cleaning woman and all heck would break loose.

Understood. His or Bernie ‘s choice of Veep would likely become very important
