WASHINGTON - As the Rev. William J. Barber II pressed his case for a $15 minimum wage recently, the civil rights leader proclaimed that one elected official faced a defining moment straight out of scripture: Vice President Kamala Harris.
... Harris broke dramatic ground when she became the first woman to win a nationally elected office and the first African American and Asian American to serve as vice president. She is widely seen as a future presidential candidate and a potential heir to Biden, particularly if the 78-year-old decides not to seek reelection in 2024.
But in the short term, many young activists and Black leaders want Harris to be their champion inside a White House headed by an elderly White man and his longtime advisers. That puts her in a painfully sensitive position as she seeks to build a bridge to a new, more diverse generation of Democrats.
While pressure comes from outside to act aggressively, inside the White House Harris is obligated to stick with Biden's more methodical approach to combating a pandemic, an economic crisis and a national reckoning on race.
Biden has responded tepidly to a push from his party's left flank to dismantle long-standing institutions and norms, such as the Senate filibuster. Many see Harris, 56, as potentially more receptive, since she is a younger, more liberal woman with ties to the activist community.
Harris's political prospects could depend on how she manages this tug-of-war. And it's likely to come into play repeatedly: Beyond the covid-19 legislation, liberals are gearing up to pressure the administration on immigration, climate change and others issues that animate the Democratic base but which Biden has navigated carefully.

Biden is a TRADITIONALIST??? LOL!!! LIE!
"Where am I?"
Translation of “Traditionalist”...”Old as Hell.”
‘’’’ She is widely seen as a future presidential candidate and a potential heir to Biden, particularly if the 78-year-old decides not to seek reelection in 2024. But in the short term,...’’’’
But in the short term Kamala Harris is widely seen as the Grim Reaper as she follows closely behind Biden dressed in black and wearing a black mask.
LOL......
BIG WILLIE : )
Where’s BIG MIKE and Bernie O Bozo been lately. Berrie should be all over the news fawning over his VEEP’s ascendancy to POTATUS
Is this an opinion piece or news? Either way it is sick.
The "Grim Reaper" eyes her target
“ Jill, please protect me from the “Grim Reaper.”
This is why the people hate and distrust the MSM so much.
They are lairs.
‘Restless base’ is that what we call America hating Marxist? ‘Traditionalist Biden’? In what world is Biden anything close to be traditionalist?
ROTFL!
A steaming pile is what this article is
I guess it’s all relative. Compared to AOC, Biden really is a traditionalist. Sort of like how compared to Stalin, Trotsky was a moderate.
I never say President Biden, as in, “today, President Biden moved to do such and such.”
This is patently bogus.
I only say “President Biden’s handlers.”
That is at least close to the truth.
Did her parents have to contend with "Jim Crow" laws prior to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s?
Were her great-grandparents threatened by the KKK?
Were her great-great-great-grandparents picking cotton in the ante-bellum South?
No, I didn't think so!
Regards,
So wait religious influence in government is good now?
Harris as a future president? Maybe is Braindead Joe moves on in the next four years. But her miserable showing in the early primaries show NOBODY in the Marxist’s People’s Dimocratic Party wanted Willie Brown’s Ho.
Biden’s handlers are Traditional in that Communism is a Tradition in come parts of the world. Biden himself is a null and will soon be voided.
Which will matter exactly zero to the Enemy Left, especially if their voting fraud schemes continue to be the law of the land. Kameltoe just becomes the next puppet of the Deep State thanks to millions of useful idiot voters and “citizens”.
