Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are totally off the charts
For the past several months, Kamala Harris had been widely seen as the clear frontrunner in Joe Biden’s running mate selection process. But with so many other viable names in the mix, and so much misdirection coming from the media near the end, there was just enough suspense about this evening’s announcement that nothing was a given.
Still, given that there was probably always an 80% chance it was going to be Kamala Harris, the reaction out of the gate has been off the charts. There’s a genuine excitement among party leaders of all stripes, and an energy within the voting base tonight. There’s a sense of relief that we’re actually getting to have the all-star ticket that we hoped was possible.
This has the feeling of being the correct pick in terms of pure merit, and in terms of proper representation, and in terms of political strategy, and in terms of what’s best for America. That’s extraordinarily difficult to pull off in politics. It may explain why there is such off-the-charts excitement for a Biden-Harris ticket tonight. Meanwhile, Biden-Harris 2020 t-shirts are already up for sale.
