Biden lays a trap for Trump in picking Harris, Paul Brandus writes (OPINION)

After months of speculation, Kamala Harris, the 55-year-old junior senator from California, is Joe Biden’s pick for vice president.

This is the moment the Trump campaign has been waiting for. In recent months, it has compiled dossiers on everyone Biden was considering. Now get ready for a ton of opposition research — “oppo” — to be dropped onto the media in an effort to undermine Harris. But there are two key differences: First, there are a lot more women in America. They are 54% of the electorate, an eight-point advantage. Second, in proportional terms, a bigger percentage of that 54% turns out to vote than of the smaller 46% of men. So in both absolute and relative terms, this is a double advantage for Democrats.

Much to the detriment of Republicans, this gap is accelerating. Women preferred Barack Obama over Mitt Romney by 11 percentage points in 2012. In 2016, Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by 13 points , and, in the 2018 midterms, women backed Democratic congressional candidates by a stunning 19 percentage points . That’s why Nancy Pelosi, and not California Republican Kevin McCarthy, is speaker of the house, and it’s why Trump was impeached earlier this year.

“Biden lays a trap for Trump in picking Harris.” Sounds very “affirmative” of Joe.

Have you noticed new TV commercials actors are black and mixed race couples and children and just few white actors (playing dumb) is the new trend? The company owners are still white. Only 'Perception On-demand' changed to make idiots 'Believe'. That IS what democrats are doing.

It’s not a trap. It’s finessing the talent pool that you have. She has a huge job in overcoming the huge bias that Americans have against women in powerful places. Many women are guilty of that sentiment. Getting over it will help to heal this badly wounded country IF THEY VOTE.

Laid a trap for himself. Kiss the independents and moderates goodby.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a real market Twitter? MarketWatch are mentally ill

Stop it.

It's not a trap. He said he wanted a female VP so he wouldn't have to pick Sanders who was the obvious choice. Also you grossly underestimate how little I care about Trump being a dick to Kamala.

Ya'll want the Democrats to win so badly... Its every other article now. Trump gonna sweep and then the markets will be strong. Trust. 💪 America will win.

I wish I had a nickel for every time Brandus has been wrong. Seriously you lose credibility w this Tweet

TRUMP LANDSLIDE you new York toilet dwellers LOSE

Kamala is DISCARDED JUNK: Black democrats already rejected her in the primaries where she barely got 2% of the vote.

Kamala - Obama without his charm. Empty pant suit.

A trap for Trump? Interesting characterization. Poor Trump is being tricked into revealing his woman hating racist self. MW needs new headline writers.

Wow u guys are getting it wrong g again 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

This pick was very good for Trump. The left & right both hate her.

He’ll forget about tomorrow though.

Biden on track to beat Trump with Harris, as Dems eye the 'next AOC'As Biden continues to beat Trump in the polls, Sen. Kamala Harris sparks a record-breaking $48 million in donations for Biden. MSNBC’s Ari Melber discusses her historic rise in the Democratic party and what it means for party representation going forward with none other than author Brittney Cooper and Congressional candidate Cori Bush, who many now dub as being the “next AOC.” Bush explains to Melber that she is “not going to tear down” Harris, despite asserting she has more progressive values than the Biden-Harris ticket. Harris descendant of slave owner. Can not believe someone who did not make it to the first primary state of Iowa is Biden's choice. It says America it doesn't matter if qualified but if have right gender or race you are in? Other way Around is Ok Though
