Joe Biden has selected Sen. Kamala Harris to be his running mate, elevating a charismatic blue-state senator, former prosecutor and onetime 2020 primary rival who has built a reputation as an unyielding antagonist of the Trump administration.If Harris becomes vice president, she'll be the first woman, the first black person, and the first Asian American to hold the position. Wikipedia says she grew up going to a black church and a Hindu temple.
Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, was the wire-to-wire frontrunner for Biden’s No. 2 job. Her experience as a battle-tested presidential contender, her efforts leading major law enforcement offices and her political track record of three election wins in California helped her overcome a crowded list of contenders.
President Trump immediately released an ad framing Biden/Harris 2020 by saying:
Biden … is handing over the reins to Kamala while they jointly embrace the radical left.
So, if everyone’s hearing “Kamala’s a radical leftist” but also “Kamala’s a cop,” what will most voters take away from those mixed messages? Will she end up sounding like a moderate?

"Her experience as a battle-tested presidential contender..."
OMG. What nonsense. She didn't make it to the Iowa caucuses before she dropped out of the race. She didn't even make it to 2020 before she dropped out of the race.
Voters -- Democrats anyway -- never got the opportunity to weigh in on her. The press loved her. She had lots of politician endorsements. Even had a good war chest for awhile. It didn't matter.
I'm not a Democrat, but I do live in California, and I think Harris is just an ambitious wench who always looks for the next promotion in her chosen field.
