thehill | Biden broke the cardinal rule in selecting Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate.
The selection first and foremost should “do no harm.”
Harris is not able from day one to be President of the United States.
She barely got to the U.S. Senate in 2017 when she began running for
president. Before serving in the Senate, she was the attorney general of
California, and before that district attorney in San Francisco.
She has
zero foreign policy experience and no economic gravitas.
At a
time when even some Democrats are questioning Biden’s competence to be
president in light of his advanced age and cognitive abilities — the
vice-presidential running mate becomes even more important to voters.
Before you even get to her policies, Harris doesn’t pass the
qualifications test.
The other rule Biden violated was that a
running mate should bring something to the table other than gender, race
or ethnicity. The running mate should bring Electoral College appeal.
Harris is from the bluest of blue states: California — a state that
Trump has no shot of winning. Harris will not appeal to swing states
because she is from California, and her record — and those of California
Democrats generally — is abysmal on taxes, immigration, law and order,
climate, energy… and the list goes on.
California is a liberal laboratory of bad governance and incompetence.
A
Biden-Harris ticket is very good news for the Trump-Pence campaign. The
contrast between Pence and Harris will be stark in resume, ability and
record.
