Did Joe Biden choose Kamala Harris only because she was a woman of color?

Yes

No

[darkcloud1945]

They sure as hell did not pick her for her brain power or intelligence, or use of the English language. But she does make a mean word salad!

No, she was also even dumber than he was so they probably would not invoke the 25th amendment on him.

Thanks for the MHO😎

It got a good laugh from me as well.

No I don't think so but it was definitely a big factor yes. He wanted the Obama energy that came with having a black person in office. That's part of why they brought him back out on the campaign trail too.

You don't really think Biden chose her do you? The party chose her, like they always choose their candidates. Biden was just the mouthpiece. She was the obvious and only realistically viable last minute candidate.

[Effably]

You would have to ask him. Although I doubt it was all his choice.

Ultimately they choose whoever they think helps their chance to win. A woman of colour likely sounded like a very good pairing with Biden if he did not want to be seen as just old white guy number 45.

That's what he said. He said he was going to pick a women of color. Then he went through a candidate pool of dark women that could match that profile. Pretty silly really.

Primarily, as Biden's Vice President, she would have assumed the position of POTUS if he died or resigned while he was POTUS. Naturally, she was the immediate (and the apparently rightful) choice.

Seventy-five percent yes, accent on "WOMAN of colour."

[Asker]

He blatantly said that's why he chose her I'm curious what the other 25% here believe.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Biden was attempting to atone for some earlier controversial stances which angered African Americans.

[Jersey2]

Absolutely. He even said out loud that he would select a then unidentified black female as the next Supreme Court Justice who turned out to be Ketanji Jackson. Black, check. Vagina, check. That was his criteria for both.

[Dargil]

I believe he did. Same for Ketanji Brown Jackson.

[Flower7]

Yes and he actually admitted to that.

Did Trump motherfucker choose Vance because he was a Trump ass kisser?

[Anonymous]

Of course he did. He’s a racist pos.

[Anonymous]

There’s a good chance of it

[Pterodon]

She was a DEI hire

[seeyounexttuesday]

He admitted as such.
