Among the names floated early on in the “Veepstakes” to be presumptive Democratic Party Presidential Nominee Joe Biden has been Senator Kamala Harris (CA-D).
Harris was thought early in 2019 to be a stronger contender for the Democratic Party’s presidential slot. Courthouse News and other media outlets estimated that her announcement speech in Oakland, CA drew some 20,000 on a pre-COVID-1984 Sunday, January 27, 2020.
Harris’ often-cited slap down of Biden in the Democratic debates, her bi-racial African American and South Asian (India) American roots, and other ‘street cred’ were considered a plus in her party’s circles.
But for whatever reasons, despite Harris’ zingers and other reputed strengths, in the crowded field she didn’t get traction with Democratic voters.
How the former prosecutor will play on the left and what she brings to the ticket is an open question, given the surge of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. Amy Walter with the Cook Political Report believes Harris is a ‘safe’ pick for the Biden campaign.
“Former Obama adviser David Axelrod said Kamala Harris” discussing her potential that “Axelrod cites internal data gauging Kamala Harris as ready to be president,” said a report by the right-of-center Washington Examiner.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
Business Insider reported on November 21, 2019 that “More billionaires have donated to Kamala Harris than any other” Democratic candidate then running for the top slot in her party’s presidential nomination contest. Whatever she is or is not, clearly the uberwealthy think she would be favorable to their interests.
As the campaign evolves, MHProNews plans to dive deeper into Harris’ billionaire backer roots. But for tonight, a series of tweets across the left right divide will tee up the various takes on Harris.
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.

Kamala Harris’ extreme positions, from raising taxes to abolishing private health insurance to comparing law enforcement officials to the KKK, show that the left-wing mob is controlling Joe Biden’s candidacy, just like they would control him as president.
