Joe Biden made the pick that maximized his chances of continuing to make the race a straight referendum on Trump while also selecting someone whose resume suggests being ready to step in, if and when Biden decides to step aside. | Analysis by @CillizzaCNN https://t.co/Ek4d6sfGfT

Sometimes, you get a perfect rundown of what is really going on in the world. As regards Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, this is one of the best early analyses of this pair of Presidential candidates. In fact, it is probably most accurate to say precisely that: This is a pair of presidential candidates, not a Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidate team.
Joe Biden has the first name on the ticket, but Kamala Harris, a Senator who didn’t make a decent showing in any Democrat primary, is being treated more like the presidential candidate than he is.
It’s no surprise by now that continued lockdowns and closures are killing the economy and increasing suffering for families and communities across the country.
We haven’t even reached the DNC convention in Milwaukee next week and the election season is already over. Former Vice President and (presumptive) Democratic Party Nominee Joe Biden picked Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate.
She is the first non-white woman to be so ‘honored.’
But that’s not a pick designed to win an election, that’s a white flag of surrender.
This week, the UK government’s new COVID ‘test and trace’ program descended into further chaos, as more questions emerged over the shady statistical practices being employed which is has given the public a false impression of the supposed ‘pandemic.’ Meanwhile, self-proclaimed global public health leader Bill Gates has employed the mainstream media in order to rebuild his faltering image and push his mandatory vaccine agenda.
The Vice Presidency has always gotten a degree of bad press in the US political system. Its ineffectuality is sometimes lost on the occupant, though not on John N. Garner, who considered it “not worth a bucket of warm spit.” (R. G. Tugwell in The Brains Trust suggests that the measure “quart” was used.) Two terms as President Franklin D.
Joe Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris for his running mate surprised many people while others viewed it as predictable. The Trump campaign was quick to put out a derisive advertisement. Well, an objective one, actually. But while the President is more than happy to run against the greatest comic duo since Laurel & Hardy, there are many people who are not happy with Kamala, including in her previous role. Take for example Jamal Trulove.
