VP Harris

VP Harris is in the news because of some staff resignations. Recall she came on the scene like gangbusters when she announced her candidacy for president in front of a lively crowd in Oakland. She got rave reviews from the press and was off to a flying start. She got even more notoriety when she pointed out that Biden built his reputation on segregation. Then things started to fall apart. She could only gather 2% of the vote and dropped out of the presidential race. Then she got a reprieve when Biden chose her as his VP. The choice of VP is the first big decision a candidate makes and Biden gave everyone a clue as to how he thinks. Logic says that the person chosen should be someone for whom the people would trust as capable of being president. Biden, however, selected Harris for purely political reasons most important of which was she was Black and a woman. As VP she has not had many successes and is plagued with mistakes. While the VP is often the heir inherit to the throne things are not working out for her.
