Supporters close to Biden described a 'deliberative' process that encompassed several weeks, 11 serious candidates, 120 hours of interviews and, eventually, one name.
"Since George Floyd, this country has been in a real inflection point," Richmond said."I don't think that was the major factor. But did he notice she was a woman of color? Absolutely."Demings and Duckworth, the 11 women vetted were Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California U.S. Rep. Karen Bass, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, New Mexico Gov.
"I think there's a deep bond there – of course momentarily frayed, maybe, in the the campaign," Garcetti said, referring to the desegregation attacks Harris torpedoed Biden with on the debate stage last year. Like other search committee members, Garcetti said he learned Harris was the pick from Jill Biden on Tuesday – but he had a"strong sense" that was the direction in the final days. The decision became clearer when he started to get phone calls from other candidates who were just told they didn't get the nod.
Baldwin said she was similarly"excited" about Biden's selection. In Harris, with whom she serves in the Senate, Biden had found someone who"would be ready on day one." Clyburn, the House Majority Whip, said he and Biden spent the calls discussing the host of candidates and their potential liabilities to his campaign. That included Harris' past as a prosecutor, Clyburn said, explaining he advised Biden that many of the attacks on past careers were unfair.
