If you’re a regular reader of this blog, Joe Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris as his Vice-Presidential running mate will come as no surprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three years ago, I tipped her for the top in blog postings here<\/a> and here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Three months ago, I said that she should be on Biden’s ticket in blog postings here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given Biden’s age, if he wins the presidency, there is no guarantee that he will complete his four-year term. If he does, he will probably not run for a second term. So America needs a Vice-President who is qualified to take over at any time. Harris is up to the job and the first female president – and a woman of colour – would be a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Biden and Harris have to win. And hopefully the Democrats will take the Senate as well as the House, <\/p>\n\n\n\n My next tip? Susan Rice for Secretary of State. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’re a regular reader of this blog, Joe Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris as his Vice-Presidential running mate will come as no surprise.
