.... launched their careers on shaky ground. She has since then become a respected and admired figure in government. She is quite popular in her state which is one Joe Biden needs. I think she will deliver it which will only give her credibility in surrounding states.

Now, let's talk about Kamala Harris. She is from a solid blue state. She barely garnered 5% of the black vote during her entire primary campaign. She used incredibly bad judgment in trying to derail Joe Biden's campaign by playing the race card several times. Unless you were living under a rock, everyone knows those attempts backfired spectacularly on her. I believe that was what ultimately set her on the path to withdrawing from the race. I do believe her background makes her well-suited for the Senate which is where I believe she will continue to be an effective force for the Democratic Party.
There are several women who could bring a lot to Joe Biden's campaign. Kamala Harris is not one of them.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
