Harris provides Biden several key attributes that could help him: political experience; a prosecutorial background to debate her rivals, and ability to generate enthusiasm as the first Black and Asian woman on a major-party ticket.

As a U.S. senator, Kamala Harris cemented her reputation as a tough questioner, her clashes with Attorney General William Barr and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh the stuff of Democratic legend.

But Harris will also face a full-court press of negative framing from her Republican rivals. It started almost immediately after her name was announced Tuesday as Biden's Democratic running mate, withon Twitter calling Harris a"phony" and highlighting her previous clash with the former vice president.

"I thought she was the meanest, the most horrible, the most disrespectful of anybody in the U.S. Senate," Trump said. Barack Obama, the first and only Black president, said Tuesday he's known Harris for a long time and that she is"more than prepared for the job."Obama said in a tweetHarris was only the second Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate, where she has supported a bill to make lynching a federal crime. She worked to end racial and ethnic disparities in responding to COVID-19 and she took on corporations that defrauded the healthcare system, according to the campaign.

The Sunrise Movement, a progressive group focused on climate change that supported Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign in 2016, also praised Harris. Varshini Prakash, the group's co-founder, said that Harris has"showed her responsiveness to activist and movement pressure to make climate a top priority, and demonstrated her willingness to be held accountable."

Harris did not generate any enthusiasm when she ran in the primaries but like Biden she will will agree to any far-left demands by the radicals. She already agreed to healthcare for illegals, open borders etc. She is completely phony, no core convictions.

What a waste of time

I really am tired of seeing her face, nothing about her as a black female makes me feel empowered

This is a man who’s very comfortable in his own skin and does not fear strong women. He’s very practical and down to earth working with people no matter the gender, ethnicity, or status in life. Proud to be a Biden supporter. Senator Harris is and will be a great leader.

Her family were slave owners

I d think so... but hey.

a prosecutorial background suuure 'She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California...'

Lol, here comes media manufactured narratives

Not hardly.

But everyone keeps telling me how disadvantaged minorities are. Now they're 'key attributes.' ?

....and a pulse above 37 BPM

KamalaHarris incarcerated more black men for pot possession then laughs about smoking it herself hypocritical

I'm 0% enthused about him picking a cop during protests against police brutality

Yay!!!

But..she is Jamaican...not black

Pundits and celebrities are gonna learn soon what Black voters were really asking for. I want realDonaldTrump to win, my hope is that he listens to the advice of people he work with and focus on Black voters&Bernie and tailors his entire message around these groups.

And so begins the MSM love affair with kamela . From now on everything she says or does will be praised worshiped by the media

A what and what woman?

Now she has to explain why she accepted the VP slot from a guy she called a racist and rapist

She definitely passed his sniff test

Awesome, I was thinking between Kamala and Val Demmings. Both having national stage experience, Kamala is more spirited and has a national presence.. love it. She’s going to be a breath of freshness alongside Biden.

That’s it? She basically brings nothing else. Horrible AG in CA from 2011-2017 and what has she done in Senate?

😁

He can continue with his nice guy uniter persona while she does all the punching for him

If she is that good, she would have been the nominee! Bwahahaha

Only the last one matters becuase of how racist Democrats are.

Not to mention being on the record calling Biden a racist and believing his abuse accusers!
