Interesting idea, but it has a flaw. Harris’s approval numbers are worse than Biden’s. And, she’s a woman of color to boot. How about this? Harris bows out so that Biden can have a strong VP candidate able to take over when necessary. Folks wouldn’t trust Harris in that role. Biden ain’t gonna quit before the election, so there needs to be a good alternative VP in place.

@johnldeboer The base of the Democratic Party is black women. What happens if you discard a black woman for a white person?

@johnldeboer Also, polls have been very inaccurate since 2016. Not sure it’s a good idea to make decisions based on such poor quality polling.

@TetsuKaba @johnldeboer
Part of the VP job is to not steal focus from the president.

I want someone who has been sitting in those cabinet meetings and can pick up the baton on day 1. I think Buttigieg would be great in debates, but if you're worried about voters with biases, he is in the same position as Harris.

When canvassing for Hillary, I was surprised how many Black men won't consider a female candidate. They get too little respect as men themselves.

@AlphaCentauri Doesn’t surprise me, and I think Hispanic men have the same mindset overall. And white men won’t admit it!
