"If you want to heal this nation right now — my party, yes, but our nation — this is sure a hell of a way to do it. And that's just what I think after being through this in my state," Klobuchar, another former presidential candidate herself, told MSNBC on Thursday.
"I'd be honored, if asked, and I'm honored to be a part of the conversation," Harris told late-night host Stephen Colbert on CBS last week."Honestly, let me just tell you something: I will do everything in my power, wherever I am, to help Joe Biden win.
"If people want to speculate about running mates, I encourage that," she said at a May 2019 press conference, months after the launch of her own campaign."Because I think that Joe Biden would be a great running mate. As vice president, he's proven that he knows how to do the job. And there are certainly a lot of other candidates that would make, for me, a very viable and interesting vice president.
"It was a debate!" Harris said just last week, laughing, when Colbert noted on his show that Biden's"teeth were like Chiclets all over the stage" after the attack, and asked her how she and Biden can now get along."It was a debate! The whole reason — literally, it was a debate. It was called a debate."Many Democrats do not view the confrontation as something that would block Harris from getting the vice presidential nod.
This is a lie. Based on a debunked poll. I’ve had enough of NPR. Unfollowed, please fact check and delete false information like this.
Heels-up Harris will be fun to watch. I wonder if she got on her knees for Joe to coax him into picking her?
Susan Rice is also an excellent choice for USA VP, see the recent interview with Bill Mahr, either Kamala Harris or Susan Rice good partnering with Joe Biden 👏🏼🇺🇸🗽
Please pick her! It's over if he does.
Not gonba hspoen.
I see Kampala Harris more for a position as a Judge in the Supreme Court...she was a prosecutor side most of her life.. I think that she could do a fantastic work with her very energetic personality and knowledge.
No. One. Cares.
Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha
He better not screw this up
Poor Lizzie. She has no shot. Pretty soon she’ll do the same as Amy.
Literally no poll supports this ludicrous claim and Harris is a corrupt former DA and CA AG - she’ll be eaten alive by the GOP.
Why? Biden already has California! Harris showed how much of an idiot she is during the last Supreme Court nomination hearings! Trump would probably do better than 2016!
MichelleObama ftw 🇺🇸
Why?
Harris has a great chance to be VP not because she is qualified for a good VP but because she represents a RIGHT choice for so many levels, racial, gender, etc Kamala Harris KamalaHarrisForVP
Now do Elizabeth Warren before you loose me again as a long time listener. You lost me in 2016 when your stories started eliminating Bernie from the public airwaves. I have very slowly come back but if you do it again, I'm DONE with NPR.
Such a dumb move to announce that it would be a woman ahead of time. Think of how unbeatable a team of Biden-Sanders would be. Coulda made it happen, despite the rhetoric. Tragedy for our Country if PC costs us 4 years more for Trump.
TrinityMustache Enter Willie Brown and a tied race.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!
Whose consensus and according to whom? Some people are pushing Biden to pick a black women VP that would solve unspecified problems. He should pick on merits alone.
No! Harris needs to stay in the senate. She’s not progressive enough to balance Biden’s moderate policies! No! The DNC is hell bent on throwing this away.😡
I think NPR is trying to push this as a done deal playing to an audience of one.
She brings nothing to the ticket. Horrible pick but watching her get dragged thru the mud for being a former corrupt pig, former mistress and current wife of a Chad will be entertaining so I'm here for it.
I think KamalaHarris would be the best choice. Either way, voting JoeBiden regardless of who he picks.
I will vote for Bloomberg who paid the DNC to get rid of the progressives. I don't know anyone excited about ham sandwich Joe. This election system sucks and I'm done with it.
Don’t forget the case of Kevin Cooper. He’s an innocent man framed for murder. When Kamala Harris had the power to act, she refused. As soon as she was a California Senator and was powerless, she wanted DNA evidence to be reviewed. She’s not fit to be VP.
Meanwhile she threatens America citizens with retribution if they vote for Trump. Kamala Harris is scum.
When she gets there tell them we want our money back.....love the tax payers.....
At this point can we just vote her as president? BothTheseGuysStink ButOneStinkswaymorethantheother
Of course. They need their token
Consensus among whom? Polls show Elizabeth Warren is the clear favorite. This is a disgusting piece of journalistic malpractice. You should delete this tweet immediately and retract the article.
Kamala the cop. I can see the ads a mile away.
I guess Trump is going to win
Can you not just wait until it is announced? Jfc this is just fluff.
Lol yes choose a cop right now, in this political moment
Wonderful if she is. There are a lot of great women that are qualified to be president. This is a chance to make a big shift in our story again. What we see now from the Trump camp are the groans of a way of life that is sinking into obsolescence. Change is happening.
Oh god help us
Check you sources, . Warren has been leading the conversation in the coronavirus pandemic response since January. Even BarackObama said so.
Michelle Obama please!
Harris & Booker work well together. hatehoax moderndaylynching
Every poll we've seen, has Warren leading. She is who the people want. I'm assuming the consensus is coming from DC establishment. Maybe we should listen to the people.
Not a good choice
MISTAKE - She doesn't help the ticket. Need Midwest or FLA. Harris for AG
A failed presidential candidate who was shunned because she harshly prosecuted predominantly black people for marijuana crimes? Yeah, that’s gonna be awesome for Biden...
Defund Kamala Harris.
Heals up Harris incarcerated thousands for minor offenses! Watching liberals trying to defend her and Joe will be awesome
No she is NOT!
This narc is going to be eviscerated by Pence in the debate, what a hypocrite
We could do worse. She's be an effective VP.
I agree
Didn’t Tulsi body slam her?
Perhaps Biden should pick a conservative black woman, you know, a good woman.
YES!!
Is this accurate ?
Nothing says “how do we solve the problem of Black people being killed by cops?” like choosing a cop as VP. Biden might not be able to lose this but he sure is trying.
Great choice
'Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors.'
SenKamalaHarris doesn't rock my world anymore than ewarren. I can feel the blood draining from any chance of collective enthusiasm for this ticket.
if a woman or a black person is essential then biden should withdraw from the race, otherwise pick the most qualified truthtelling candidate blue silence prosecutor harris idea of criminal justice was proposing updating police computers she supported private forprofit prisons
LMAO
Biden said “taxes will be raised”...he is only a puppet!!! NO to this Democrat shit show biden pelosi schumer
DefundNPR NPRisPravda
That's what you say about every black female politician.
Isn't it interesting that ALL the vp candidates are female, and most are black? It's almost like they're being chosen based primarily on sex and race... But, that would be sexist and racist.
Kamala Harris once pushed for steeper cash bail costs, saying ‘people come to San Francisco to commit crimes because it’s cheaper to do it'.
Only 7% of CA Democrats had Harris as their first choice and 61% wanted her to drop out.
Kamala Harris is a known descendant of Slave Owners and has maliciously prosecuted many Black men. Kamala fits the mold for Democrats, the architects of Systemic Racism. Free George Gage
This will be a massive fuckup. That woman inspire no one when she speaks unlike Stacey Abrams. If he has to pick a black woman it has to be Stacey.
who’s gonna tell them lol
'Among young Black voters, 18-34, Warren is the top choice of 31%, Abrams 29%, and Harris a shockingly low 7%.'
What a disaster...
🤢🤢🤢
Looking forward to listen to her giggle every time she's asked a question for four years. Not.
No cop
So your saying Biden is the nominee? Did I miss the convention?
“She topped a recent national poll asking respondents for their preferred Biden running mate.” That was a Monmouth panel, not a poll scottdetrow. There is a big difference. This needs to be corrected.
Speak Truth😂
She’s awful.
You *also* might consider the statements and policies coming out of the Biden campaign and how much they sound like Warren's primary positions. Or the fact that Warren raised $6M in her fundraising event with Joe, nearly 2x what Harris did in her fundraising event w/ Joe?
boooo, tulsi is the only choice. she shouldve been the presidential candidate.
Are we choosing VP by consensus now? Does Biden get a vote on this?
KamalaHarris She was vicious to him in the democratic debates. Instead of focusing on how SHE would be the best candidate to defeat trump, she attacked a democratic colleague. Harris doesn't deserve to be his vp
Please pick KamalaHarris. She's the perfect VP for your ticket JoeBiden
😂😂😂 I’m old enough to remember a few months ago when she basically accused him of being a racist.
Susan Rice is best qualified!
Uhhh. Poll literally just dropped. It’s ewarren. Still!
'Harris allies see the first-term California senator and former state attorney general and San Francisco district attorney as bringing needed demographic balance to Biden's ticket.' WTF is this 'demographic balance'
don-the-con trump IS NOT a: lawyer, Catholic, Jew, Muslim, teacher, brave, compassionate, minister, MD, ex-military, CFA, historian, porn star, literate, CPA, diplomat, honest, tax payer, trustworthy, farmer, loyal husband, law & order president, psychologist, clam, nor physic.
I’d much rather see Elizabeth Warren as VP and Kamala as AG with a possible spot on the SCOTUS but it’s definitely not a dealbreaker if it ends up the other way.
Up is down and down is up. Cops and law enforcement are bad. Defund! Tear it all down! Also, Kamala’s career as a tough prosecuter backing law enforcement good. Perfect Dem V.P. choice! Okie dokie✌🏻
This is about the color of her skin, not the content of her character.
Never Biden
She hated JoeBiden during the debates
2 people that have put more blacks in jail than nearly anyone. Say, did CA really remove all her prosecutions from their site?
Black Kamala or Jamaican Kamala?
Elizabeth Warren for VP and Kamala as AG with a possible spot on the SCOTUS.
Will note vote if she is the VP....she will sink his nomination.
Wrong move.
Don't do it JoeBiden. There are far better choices than KH. The road to the WH goes through the Rust & Sun Belts, NOT CA. AmbassadorRice, GovMLG, GovWhitmer, TammyforIL or RepValDemings would be great.
She was still running for president when she became Biden's presumptive VP. And for good reason
No, not really. She overlaps the same demographics of Biden, bringing nothing to the ticket. In order to expand the electorate for a landslide—something Biden keeps saying is imperative—we need to excite the young, progressive vote (~40% of the Dem Party). Only Warren does that.
*dems in 2020, in the midst of nation wide protests against the brutality of police forces unchecked by law or accountability after losing the last presidential election to an open fascist by running a status quo wall Street candidate*: 'I got it! We'll run status quo AND cop!'
Crime bill/prosecutor 2020 👏👏
She got the teeth needed to get things done.
🗑👮🏽
I say Biden-Harris for the win. 🙂
America: 'We want police reform!' Biden Campaign: 'Alright, let's pick one of the pigs who led cops run wild.'
Officially ending {SNIFFFFFF} Joes chances. MAGA2020Landslide MAGA2020 MAGA2020LandslideVictory FolloForFolloBack
She has been my fave for a while, but ultimately, only one vote matters, Biden's
Really? It takes a cultural war before our nation will even consider making a woman president. 😡 The conversation no one is willing to have is that we are more Sexist than racist as a nation!!
She knows how to get attention. Just ask Willie Brown.
Heels up Harris in the Oral Office soon...what a combo
It would be too perfect if Joe picks Kamala. Really seal the deal on me not participating in the presidential vote.
Wow. The democrat party is in shambles
Is Susan Rice available? Asking for a friend. Kamala is much more poised for AG. AmbassadorRice
KamalaHarris is Not my choice. Don’t trust her and she will showboat to get attention. IMO
I hope Biden picks someone else. Not interested in Harris at all.
But she fills the required check-marks, which to the left is far more important than say...ability.
As a independent,it looked that Biden, Sanders,Warren had such a head start, Duckworth being a combat veteran is the strongest choice for Biden in my opinion
Yes the favorite of the Obama’s
No shit. Having two neoliberals at the top doesn’t balance the tickets economic outlook. I know cosmetics are super important to neoliberals, but to us progs, cosmetic changes won’t motivate the base.
Who doesn't love corporate democrats who don't want to make any actual changes?
Try Susan Rice for VP 2020! SusanRiceVP2020!
Correction, 'Racist Joe Biden chooses to balance his campaign by picking Racist Harris.'
How did Tim Kaine's presidential campaign go in '16? How'd Biden's go in '08?
Ridiculous.
No! Ugh.
I think she is a Hypocrite, panders to white people at the expense of minorities. I see her inaction as 2013 CA AG per my legal case of racial purging as a violation of her oath to office, support of WhiteSupremacy . KamalaHarris LiberalHypocrisy .
All you socalled smart people who are naive and dont believe your goverment can do no wrong. Left right whatever color creed you are. Ask yourself wtf hae any of these polititians done to make american life beautiful or stress free? Capitol hill. Polititians = our enemy
In 2008 Biden's campaign was a disappointment too, but he made a damn good VP, didn't he?
She’s a fighter tho. I’d take her over Abrams
She’s a dirty cop who is responsible for the incarceration of almost as many black men as Biden himself
with that logic why did BarackObama pick Biden because his campaign was also lackluster
Will they make a knee high podium for her? Since that’s where KamalaHarris does her best work! Just sayin
AG...
Still wishing for Warren as the nominee, sooo...
ClwtrBkAtty She got in just long enough to have an nbcsnl star play her on TV and then skedaddled cause she couldn't poll high enough to qualify for any delegates. That girl who was so unpopular in the Democratic Party ... she was girl.
Hmm but she is A LOT better than all the GOP asshats who lost to trump and now kiss his ass and grovel at his feet
WARREN!
NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Give us an actual progressive. Don’t fuck this up again
JoeBiden will select a more likable, centrist running mate, like JohnKennedyJr. Oh wait, JFKjr is dead. Okay, maybe it will be KamalaHarris then. 😂 🇺🇸 🗳
How did Biden's 2008 campaign turnout?
Not to mention she all but called him a racist in the first debate.
Susan Rice is the stronger pick. Her work addressing conflict and development abroad (public health crises, a shattered economy, corrupt autocrats/rickety voting systems, ethnic tensions) would be, frankly, v. relevant to our own domestic problems. Fresh eyes but also experience.
Damn if they do that then trump will win
Too much law and order in her past. First, chaos, then law and order.
damn your headlines are terribly riddled with sloppy journalism. This isn’t the lead. Come on!!!!
We can get use to say her name. Madam Vice President Harris!
How is this relevant?
how far did Biden make it last time he ran for president before he was VP.... just asking.
RepValDemings RepValDemings RepValDemings RepValDemings RepValDemings RepValDemings RepValDemings
The Drug War Duo - go team, go!
Yuck!! Her history as a prosecutor should disqualify alone! So many needless jail sentences for non-violent drug offenses. If she is on the ticket I can't support it. Warren is natural pick to me, grab the progressive vote.
Well tRump had a campaign that won, so I’d rather have someone that is good at the job -not good at self promoting
WoW npr just keeps going lower by the day.
No
The unfortunate reason that several good potential people were dismissed is that the debates were so poorly managed. No one could get a good point made because ewarren & BernieSanders were constantly (rudely) speaking over everyone else.
Just stop
Val Demmings experience in boots-on-the-ground law enforcement may be a better “hands on” VP; cobble together a comprehensive legislative pig re: racism, reparations, dual system of law enforcement & courts/judges - judgment entries for sale!
NPR, liberal media news. Flakking candidates, and setting agendas. How cutting edge.
America 'we're tired of cops extrajudicously murdering POC' neolibs: yeah but what if we make a black cop VP
I do find it confusing how people now love her for VP but didn’t for president. I’m still sticking with Bal Demmings. I’d rather see Kamala in the senate, AG or a possible RBG replacement.
What kind of journalism is this? Her campaign was a disappointment? Only in that you GUYS didn't give her EQUAL time compared to AGED WHITE MEN and WHITE women in stories and in debates!!!! Do better .
How many slaves did her family own
Gleefully prosecuted low level drug possessors - next...
if biden picks Harris as his VP I'll be fully convinced he is trying to lose
It seem sexist that the VP be a female. Sure Black males commit over half the murders in America even though they’re only 7% of the population. So what? Some of them are very fine people!!!
Надеюсь,что это правда
Bad choice. Playing the race card to people who live in diverse progressive populations that lived thru bussing is indicative of an inability to negotiate effectively.
Having slept her way to the top of California politics, once in power she will be a destructive force.
I adore her! I will be bummed to lose her in the Senate if she becomes the VP, but she is golden in my eyes.
if the dems really wanna slam-dunk this thing (or if Trump wanted to really make this a real race), they'd put marijuana legalization on their platform. it's insane no one using this topic to win the election.
I can give you one reason why she is qualfied
Only thing that worries me is that there were reports that she could not effectively run her campaign. Hoping those reports weren’t true , as that’s a big part of why Trump botched Coronavirus. He lacks the power of organization, a key CEO component.
Didn't she accuse Biden of being racist, too?
Harris would absolutely be my first pick for VP Many were unhappy about her dropping out early
