Statement on Joe Biden’s Selection of Kamala Harris as Running Mate

  • August 11, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Progressive Policy Institute released the following statement on the selection of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s vice president.

“Joe Biden composed a strong field of candidates for the job, and in Sen. Kamala Harris, he has made a characteristically solid choice. In doing so, the presumptive nominee has balanced his ticket as Barack Obama balanced his, which is important given the Democratic Party’s mosaic of diversity. He has kept faith with the African American voters who turned his primary campaign around in South Carolina, and with women voters whose growing dissatisfaction with President Trump has propelled Biden into leads in national polling. And in the California Senator he has picked an experienced leader who could step into his shoes if necessary – and someone infinitely more fit to serve in the White House than its current occupant.

“Biden-Harris: it’s a formidable ticket that faithfully reflects the broad, Big Church coalition Democrats will need to evict Donald Trump and Mike Pence from the White House in November.”
