A day after Kamala Harris dropped out of the presidential race, Joe Biden said he would consider the California senator as a running mate
AMES, Iowa — A day after Kamala Harris dropped out of the presidential race, Joe Biden said on Wednesday he would consider the California senator as a running mate and said he had no “hard feelings” against his now-former opponent.
“Senator Harris has the capacity to be anything she wants to be,” Biden told reporters here in Ames. “I talked to her yesterday. She’s solid. She can be the president one day herself. She can be the vice president. She can go on to be aBiden’s kind words for Harris, who torched him during a June debate over his record on busing, marked the second day in which he commended her.
Biden’s advisers have long acknowledged that their candidate, a 78-year-old white man, would probably need a woman of color to help balance out his ticket. Before he even announced his candidacy, some allies suggested that Biden pick Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Biden surrogate, has been quietly mentioned as a possible running mate, as has Harris.
About an hour before his Wednesday event, during his first remarks of the day on his multi-city “No Malarkey” bus tour of Iowa, Biden told the crowd that Harris would be missed on the campaign trail. “We lost a really good one, the senator from California,” Biden said. “She is capable of being president or vice president or on the Supreme Court or attorney general. Her capacity is unlimited.”
