VP talk could intensify with Harris-DNC fundraising deal

[PunkinPi]

California Sen. Kamala Harris has made an unusual fundraising move that is sure to fuel speculation about her prospects to be Joe Biden's running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket.

Harris, who dropped out of the White House race in December, has set up the kind of arrangement with the Democratic National Committee that is typically reserved for nominees trying to attract large donations from the party’s biggest boosters.

The senator and the DNC filed paperwork for the arrangement Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission, in the first deal of this kind for Democrats this election cycle. Biden and the party chairman, Tom Perez, had been hesitant to enter into the arrangement while Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was still actively campaigning against Biden. But Sanders suspended his campaign Wednesday, making Biden the presumptive nominee.

Party officials did not say whether they have asked other former candidates for a similar fundraising arrangement, but that could become moot now that Biden no longer must navigate Sanders as a rival. Regardless, it's a testament to Harris' good standing among some of the party's top donors.

Biden praised Harris when she ended her presidential bid. He said she was qualified to be president or vice president and noted that the former prosecutor could be an able attorney general or Supreme Court justice. His aides have dismissed any notion that hard feelings carried over from Harris’ aggressive attacks on Biden in a June presidential primary debate.

Biden/Harris

[empedocles]

1. No rush needed

[LakeArenal]

2. I don't want Harris as VP

[Steven Maurer]

13. I do

Not too young. Not too old. Extremely smart. Able to do the job starting from day 1 if the worst should happen to President Biden.

That said, there are many good candidates out there. She's not the only one.

[LakeArenal]

15. Whenever I State why I don't want Harris as VP

I get punished for a very viable and truthful reason.

So I’ll leave it as Not for VP

AG. Majority leader whatever. Not VP

[Steven Maurer]

16. I won't argue the truth of what you believe to be true

But I will say that it is often the case that people searching for reasons not to like someone presume the worst against them, and further imagine that that defines them for the rest of their lives.

Think of the worst thing you've ever done in your life. Is that who you are?

[LakeArenal]

17. If I thought anything like that I wouldn't want Harris nest Joe.

She’d make a good AG.

But yes for what she did, I don’t forget.

Biden to Harris during fundraiser: "I'm so lucky to have you as part of this partnership going forward because I think working together we can make a great of difference and the biggest thing we can do is making Donald Trump a one term president. So, I'm coming for you, kid.”
