Politics Biden Picks Kamala Harris As Running Mate

Wow, there's covfefe in that shrewd observation. Were you in Pleasure, California when you thought of that or were you in Toledo, Ohio?

I'm telling you, if Trump didn't have someone to dress him in the morning he wouldn't get his shoes on the correct feet. Now, which is it, left or right?

 

LOL
I only laugh because this is not the sort of derangement that is trashing this country. But they are examples of how deranged this man is.
We either dump Trump or I head for Canada along with Millions of other sane people. I hate seeing trash on the roadside and I hate seeing our country get trashed.

 

Just a friendly reminder that trumps sons school is closed and he is voting by mail but he wants our kids in school and Americans to stand in line with hundreds of people risking infection to vote.

 

Biden’s Pledge To Choose A Woman For VP Was Popular — And So Is Harris

Before Joe Biden announced Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate on Tuesday, criticism of his VP search was heating up. For some, the announcement back in March that he would pick a woman started to ring hollow the longer the search dragged on. For others, it felt like an off-key consolation prize, especially after Biden had defeated a number of high-profile women for the Democratic nomination. And, of course, an added complication was that while he was conducting his vice presidential search, protests against police brutality rippled across the country, leading some to demand that Biden pick not just a woman, but a Black woman.

Yet these criticisms don’t seem to carry much weight with the public. Polls over the past few months show that Americans, especially Democrats, overwhelmingly support Biden’s decision to choose a woman as his running mate.

For instance, after Biden initially made the announcement during a Democratic primary debate, a late-March Fox News poll found that 63 percent of voters approved of it, including 86 percent of Democrats. Fast forward to late July, and these numbers haven’t really changed. A Yahoo News/YouGov survey found that 62 percent of voters — including 90 percent of Democrats — thought Biden had made the right decision by pledging to choose a woman.

Support for Biden picking a Black woman was pretty high among Democrats, too, when they were asked whether they thought this was important. A USA Today/Suffolk University survey from late June found that 72 percent of Democrats thought it was important to pick a woman of color. And a Yahoo News/YouGov poll from late July found that 60 percent of Democrats felt it was important to pick a Black woman. A New York Times/Siena College survey from late June found much lower levels of support (just 25 percent of Democrats said Biden should choose a Black running mate), but that may have more to do on how the question was phrased — respondents weren’t asked if this was important. Instead, they were asked if Biden should choose a white person, choose a Black person, or not factor race into the decision.

One other thing that’s clear from the polls? Harris was the leading contender. A late-July SurveyUSA/FairVote poll of Democrats and independents found that Harris had the strongest favorability rating among potential VP picks, for instance. And using ranked-choice voting, the poll also found Harris was the preferred option, beating Sen. Elizabeth Warren 55 percent to 45 percent after second- and third-choice votes were allocated. (Harris also led 26 percent to 22 percent over Warren in first-choice votes.)

Other favorability polling echoes the SurveyUSA/FairVote findings. Both an early-August survey from The Economist/YouGov and a late-July Politico/Morning Consult poll found Harris had better marks among Democrats than any other VP contender save Warren, although they ran about even in the YouGov survey. Each poll also found Harris with a slightly better net favorability rating (favorable percentage minus unfavorable percentage) than Warren among all respondents.

Two early polls suggest that the public has had a reasonably positive reaction to Harris’s selection, too. A snap poll by YouGov after the pick found that 51 percent of voters approved of the choice while 36 percent disapproved. And 47 percent told ABC News/Ipsos that Harris was an excellent or good choice — including 83 percent of Democrats. Only 29 percent said the choice was not so good or poor.

Bottom line: Biden’s decision to pick a woman as his VP has remained widely popular, and in Harris, he’s found a solid No. 2. As a former presidential contender, she’s already been through public scrutiny of her record and background, and, as a U.S. senator, she has high-level political experience. She’s also a relatively popular choice according to the polls, so her history-making nomination should please many Democrats.​

 

This sums up my feelings on the subject fairly well.

 

These are truly sick people.

 

I think it's part of this network. https://thehill.com/homenews/news
I haven't ever really spent much time on it, but I think it's kind of a right-wing media company.

 

Krystal is left leaning, Saagar is right leaning.

 

Fair enough, so I said that because I see ‘right’ leaning guys reference that website frequently.

 

Bill Krystal? That Krystal? Left?

 

On the lighter side.

 

Comma-la? More like Commie-la.

 

A freelance photographer was banned from NBA after displaying the Biden Harris logo with names changed to Joe and ho. Which is no doubt how Trump plans to win suburban women.

 

@barfo would need to confirm that report.
