2020 Democratic candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) isn’t opposed to sharing the ticket with Joe Biden — but people aren’t expecting her to be the running mate, are they?

On Wednesday, Harris responded to what several Democrats, including the Congressional Black Caucus, are calling the “dream ticket”: Biden for president with Harris as his vice president.

“Sure, if people want to speculate about running mates, I encourage that, ’cause I think that Joe Biden would be a great running mate,” Harris told NBC. “As vice president, he’s proven that he knows how to do the job.”

“There’s certainly a lot of other candidates that would make, for me, a very viable and interesting vice president,” she continued.

  1. Now THAT’S doggone Uppity!!!’’ I like that. :laughing:

  2. I have not seen the interview.

    Not her fault if she answered the question she was asked but was there no follow-up question?

    What would make her a better president than Biden (or any other candidate)?

  3. And, on the other hand, there’s the CBC:

  4. Yawn. What’s she supposed to do, concede the race before it’s even really begun and give this idea a full green light? Of course she’s going to keep running for POTUS. That’s the whole fucking point of running right now. Let’s see how the primaries shake out first. Jesus.

    This is some real Zombie Fourth Estate shit. DO these assholes even think about the questions they’re asking before they ask them?

    All that being said…I’ll fully admit to having explicitly stated that Biden/Harris would be a dream ticket…but come the fuck on with expecting there is any chance in hell she’d endorse that NOW, this early.

  5. That’s part of the uppity part…and don’t let me get started on Latino machismo!! :laughing:
