It all sounds great. But 53 years of being a black man in this country knows the switch will flip on candidate Harris in nanosecond. Joe knows the dirty truth nobody wants to admit. Too many Dems, independents will pause at the idea of a POC at the top of the ticket.

The birtherism started already. And the dog whistles are ready to blow full steam ahead.

IMO, they need to push hard running as a combined ticket. Get Harris out more out front so people know we’ll be fine if Joe has to step down. Run on the strength of the administration and what it’s accomplished and it’s not a one man show. Pivot to

how that compares to Trump with the Heritage Foundation as VP and go on offense.

AND is the country ready for a female Commander-in-Chief? I hear people bristle at that prospect. I think getting Harris out is an excellent move, she is better equipped to prosecute the case against Trump.
