Per CNN: Biden is now calling the candidates who were not chosen. They report Rep Bass was not chosen. |
|
It was my understanding Karen took herself out of the running and supported Kamala Harris.

| NBC reports Biden has now personally called all the runner-ups to let them know they were out. |

Probably the safest, best pick.

I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.
Back when Kamala was Attorney General, she worked closely with Beau. I watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people, and protected women and kids from abuse. I was proud then, and I'm proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign. |

One thing sure, if there is a VP debate Kamala Harris will more than hold her own. I know Joe Biden will knock it out of the park against Dump. I don't think there will be a presidential debate.

She's a California Senator. And we'll vote in a Democrat to replace her. So we won't have to worry about losing a seat.

Harris is Biden's VP, per Twitter.
Guess I was wrong earlier |

I think people overreacted to the list of speakers for the convention.

I don't live in California, but I'd hope Katie Porter and Adam Schiff consider running.

Most likely. I read or heard she had dropped out of the VP race and supported Kamala Harris.

She wasn't my choice, that's what collective twitter was saying -- consolation prize. |

Yes or Yes. I would say Schiff has done more to earn it, but that is not even close to a knock on Katie: She is a star in the making.

Schiff has more than earned consideration for either Biden's AG, or Kamala's senate seat IMO. Not sure what Bass has done of note besides being one of Biden's contenders?
Schiff on the other hand, did a whole heck of a lot of the legal work during impeachment.
Warren was my choice but now that the senate is in play Harris is the safest bet.

Very pleased by the choice (not that I would have been disappointed by another per se). She has all the right stuff for campaigning, debating and more importantly, the office.

I wanted Harris as President this year but I'm fine with waiting.
