Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) is a standout candidate in a field of 22 running as Democrats for president in 2020. She was the first woman ever elected to be the attorney general for California’s 40 million people. This state has the fifth largest economy in the world, that includes bigger than Britain, France, or Russia. When Attorney General William Barr testified before the House Judiciary Committee, she nailed him to the wall. Who expected her to be funny?
Wednesday morning, Harris was campaigning in New Hampshire when The Daily Week’s political reporter Emily Goodin asked her whether she was tired of everyone saying she would make the “perfect VP.” Harris’ response was classic:
‘I asked Kamala Harris if she’s sick of all the talk of how she’s the perfect VP. She responded: I think that Joe Biden would be a great running mate. That as vice president he’s proven he knows how to do the job.’
AP reporter Steve Peoples tweeted the new Harris line, guaranteeing it will go viral. He tweeted:
‘Kamala Harris here in NH: “I think Joe Biden would be a great runningmate. As vice president he’s shown he can do the job.”’
Then, according to CNN, Harris added there are also a “lot of other candidates:”
‘Certainly a lot of other candidates that would make, for me, a very viable and interesting vice president.’
Top members of the Congressional Black Caucus have said that Biden-Harris would amount to a “dream ticket,” should Biden keep his significant lead on the poll. However, Harris is emphatic:
‘I’m going to win. I’m going to win!’
