Politico reports that some black lawmakers are promoting Biden/Harris as a 'Dream ticket'.

Some Black Lawmakers Pitch Biden and Harris as a "Dream Ticket"

The Congressional Black Caucus may have found an answer to its Joe Biden dilemma: Vice President Kamala Harris. Some black lawmakers are agonizing over whether to back Biden or two members of the close-knit caucus — Sens. Harris and Cory Booker — who are also vying for the White House, according to interviews with a dozen CBC members.

But with the former vice president jumping out to a huge, if early, lead in the polls, several CBC members are warming to the idea of a Biden-Harris ticket to take on President Donald Trump. “That would be a dream ticket for me, a dream ticket!” said Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.). “If she is not the nominee, that would be a dream ticket for this country.”
With the Democrat left obsession with "political correctness" and "Identity politics," it is likely that more than just black Democrats will find this combination appealing. In fact, who else is Biden going to pick? Not Bernie Sanders. Probably not another white male. Maybe one of the white females. But why do that when he can pick a female with dark skin to be his running mate?

Kamala Harris has to be the front-runner to be Joe Biden's VP nominee, if he wins the nomination. And not just among Democrats who are black.

I would give my right arm to see her run.

Another good choice would be Rashida Tlaib, but I don't know if she is a natural-born citizen.

That sounds about right. And I'm going to fight like hell to see that Trump is reelected.

Obama wasn't and he still ran (and won).

Another "old white male" just joined the race. This is beyond a joke at this point...

I just looked it up. Rashida Harbi Tlaib was born in Detroit and is 42 years old. A perfect Democratic candidate.
