Notice how they already have a quote for Biden on something that hasn't happened.

She won't bring the Bernie progressives and the young, as Warren would
Dems don't need a somewhat black since Biden/Dems already have the black vote. KH might even repel the racists fed up with Trash but would have voted Dem.
Warren could replace Biden in 2024, while Harris, black and female, would see serious objections.

Pocahantas is as phony as Commie Cuck, whose schtick she stole b/c she partially decided against Hillary's failed strategy. (She still kept a big woman card).
This will help the simpleton base who need to check boxes. Black: Check. Woman: Check. Democrat: Check.
Looks like she traded a seat on the bench for a potential potus run.

False alarm: Politico 'technical error' identifies Kamala Harris as Biden VP pick
Politico mistakenly identified Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's pick to be his vice president in a "technical error," sparking a wave of speculation that it accidentally revealed his pick before the outlet said the information in the post was not accurate.
Late Tuesday afternoon, social media users, including members of President Trump's campaign, noticed that a version of the outlet's page that discussed pros and cons of rumored potential Biden running mates identified the California senator as Biden's pick, with two paragraphs that included a quote attributed to Biden.
The text read: "Biden called Harris 'a worthy opponent and a worthy running mate,' alluding to the pair’s rivalry during the earlier stages of the Democratic primary. She will bring her experience as a prosecutor, household name recognition, and skill as a debater to the ticket."
While it is normal for news organizations to craft prewrites of expected stories in order to publish breaking news quickly, the structure of the second paragraph and quote attributed to Biden caused many reporters to suspect that the information came from the Biden campaign and provided under embargo for later publication.
The page was soon updated to remove the first two paragraphs, with an explanation in the form of an editor's note: "Due to a technical error, an earlier version of this story mistakenly identified one of the women as Biden's VP pick. We regret the error."
A Politico spokesperson provided a longer explanation to the Washington Examiner: "Placeholder text was mistakenly published to the site. Our standard practice is to use 'lorem ipsum'" – a dummy text having no meaning – "as placeholder text. In this instance, that did not happen. We regret the error and any confusion that it caused."

These sites are pimping Susan Rice for VP hard.
It's as if she didn't lie her ass off about Benghazi at all.
It's as if she wasn't part of the Russia hoax either.
Mah Benghazi where 4 Americans sadly died, trumps 150 thousand Americans dead.
Trump land is something else.

Biden just doesn't get it. Oh well.
Unrelated to the VP sweepstakes.
Those are talking points given to him by his campaign after a few articles came out this week about how Kamala “mistreated” Biden on the campaign while in the primaries.
He actually did a presser and took questions yesterday.
