It sounds like he has the best relationship with Rice from his time in the administration with her. I have no idea if she would be good on the campaign trail or not.

There is no world where Harris is a good choice, unless you can go back in time and reverse her massive hypocrisy and enabling of the issues that the US has been protesting for the last 70 days. Why would she even be considered.

After listening to the Joe Rogan podcast with Josh Durban and Jason Flom (awesome BTW) Harris would be tough to support- Her record is not great

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.

Called this months ago. Solid pick by Biden. She's going to eat Pence for breakfast.

Rice would have been better but Harris is a tough on crime person who will make it harder for them to attack.

That might be the worst pick he could have made, in light of the options. Just... no upside anywhere. No geographical advantage as she delivers no additional support in swing states, no obvious policy-based advantage (what is Harris's signature policy? Anyone?) no advantage in terms of placating the left flank, comes off as fake and politician-esque in many of the ways that Biden doesn't (one of his big advantages), and there's not even any evidence that she's a passable campaigner.

Massive own goal.

Horrible choice. Worst of all the options.

May have “slept around” to get to certain positions, has a questionable record on criminal justice, and—who can forget—holds the same position on an issue that she attacks her opponents’ for holding.

This election is going to suck. I can’t vote for Trump, but Biden is making is very difficult for me to vote against Trump too.

If Kim Kardashian was Biden's VP pick, I implore that you should still vote for Biden.

Difficult? LOL you get 2 choices. Trump or not Trump. Very easy to select the ''not Trump'' option.

Even if Ivanka Trump was his VP pick you'd still be better off voting for Biden.

Policy advantage? Criminal justice reform and oversight of law enforcement? Seems pretty import considering the current state of things.

I know the DA who followed in Harris' steps and he has said nothing but good things about her. She will be a good VP and possibly our first female president.

The view from the Bernie-left... And honestly, pretty tough to argue with.
