Good move for both….
Kamala Harris was ALWAYS in first place to become Joe Biden’s Vice President pick….
A twofer….
A mixed Black women….
A former DA and Attorney General….
A little rough around the edges that would compliment ole’ Joe’s effort to get along….
Senator Kamala Harris is weighing an endorsement of Joseph R. Biden Jr., according to multiple Democratic officials familiar with her deliberations. Such a move could lift Mr. Biden’s campaign and perhaps do even more to enhance Ms. Harris’s chances of becoming vice president, but it could also anger her liberal base in California.
An endorsement by Ms. Harris, if she wades into the primary race at all, would be unlikely to happen until after the Senate impeachment trial, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
Yet she and Mr. Biden, the former vice president, have remained in contact since she exited the race and had a long conversation in the immediate aftermath of her departure.
“Senator Harris remains focused on the ongoing impeachment trial of President Trump,” said Chris Harris, a spokesman for the senator. “No decisions have been made about whether she will endorse, which candidate, nor when an endorsement decision will be made.”
Democrats close to Ms. Harris said she wanted to carefully consider the potential impact of her endorsement; was mindful that two of her female colleagues, Senators Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, were still in the race; and was uneasy about the prospect of backing a candidate only to see him or her lose California.
Mr. Biden has lavished praise on Ms. Harris since she departed the race, predicting she would have a wealth of political opportunities in the future. And when asked directly if he would consider her as his running mate, he said, “Of course I would.”
A Biden-Harris rapprochement would represent an extraordinary turnaround in their relationship after she so memorably confronted him on the debate stage last summer. Yet their would-be alliance is less surprising on closer inspection….
Note…
Both will get over her picking on Biden a while ago…
Biden has indicated that he would not be against picking her for VP….
If not?
She’d be a lock for Attorney general…

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says that Biden, Warren, and Sanders have all failed to reach out to her or ask in any way for her support. She points out that Warren and Sanders came to Chicago and took the side of the Teachers Union when they were on strike and fighting with Lightfoot. She made note that as a black, female LGBT Mayor, she may not be “progressive” enough for them to want to deal with.
She made comments that seemed to indicate she is leaning towards either Buttigieg, Bloomberg, or Klobuchar, whom have reached out to her.
