Cop-O Research: Is Kamala Harris Planting Evidence on Her VP Rivals?
2020-07-23
Washington Free Beacon via Instapundit
Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.), whose failed presidential campaign flamed out before any primary votes were cast, is a top contender to be Joe Biden's running mate in 2020. Curiously enough, negative stories about Harris's potential rivals for the VP slot have been popping up of late in mainstream media outlets. Imagine that.

Biden's promise to select a female running mate, along with the increasing pressure to pick a woman of color, has left the former vice president with limited options. Only two women of color—Harris and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.)—campaigned for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Despite her failings as a candidate, Harris is widely considered the favorite thanks to her relatively high profile compared with the other black women rumored to be on Biden's shortlist, such as Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D.), Rep. Val Demings (D., Fla.), and Rep. Karen Bass (D., Calif.). In recent weeks, all three have had negative stories published about them—almost certainly the result of opposition research fed to reporters by a rival.

...Harris clearly wants the gig. Pretty much everyone does, given the likelihood that the elderly and cognitively declining Biden might not even serve a full term in office. Enough to be shopping oppo about the other black women under consideration? Obviously.

#12  Actually and without snark, I would pick Val Demings if I were Biden. "Actual human being" or not. (And WTF does that mean?) Demings was an LEO, and that would send the right message to nervous suburban moms.

#7  Biden should seek out the Antifa Athena and see if she's old enough to be his VP.

#6  1) Obama did the same thing running for the Senate. 2) Democrats are scumbags like that, so 3) of course she's doing this.

#2  I've got Cherokee in my blood line and I'm not too proud of it. The Cherokees' kept slaves and came out for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Also they did have sex with their slaves. I've probably got more Black than a lot of the Zebras out there. So remember to take one up the behind for the tribe.
