Supporters of Sen. Kamala Harris are trying to boost her chances of joining Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket.
Many on Biden’s team once felt he needed a running mate who’d generate excitement. Now, with his polling lead, a “do no harm” strategy gains ground. But pressure for a Black candidate mounts.“A group of us really felt we needed to organize and speak out and correct the record because she has tremendous support,” Kounalakis said.
Beyond emphasizing their strong relationships with Harris, they also objected to the idea that Harris wouldn’t be a loyal partner.Advertisement The leading contenders include Harris, California Rep. Karen Bass and Obama national security advisor Susan Rice. The deliberations remain fluid, however, and the campaign has reviewed nearly a dozen possible running mates.
“For Joe Biden, this is crunch time. After all the vetting, all the investigations into the prospective nominees, it’s now up to Joe. It’s personal,” said former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who was vetted for vice president in 2008. “It’s now about his gut feeling.”
