Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama’s vice president Joe Biden selected California Senator Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate on Tuesday. Harris, 55, is the first Black woman and the first person of Indian heritage to be chosen for a presidential ticket. She is the fourth woman in US history to run on the presidential ticket.

The two candidates will appear together in Wilmington, Del on Wednesday. In choosing Harris as his running mate, Biden is effectively paving the way for another presidential run by Sen. Harris, who dropped out of the 2020 presidential primary race in December, 2019.

Daughter of Immigrant Academics

Sen. Harris was raised in Oakland and Berkeley, California — the daughter of two academics: an Indian-American mother and a father from Jamaica. The vice presidential candidate attended Howard University in Washington, DC and was the Attorney General of California before being elected to the Senate in 2016 as the second Black woman.

Fierce Debate and Analytical Skills

Kamala Harris is generally considered to be highly well-informed with a deep knowledge base on a wide variety of critical issues. Her Senate Judiciary questioning of prospective Trump Attorney General Bill Barr went digital and has never failed to inspire Democrats. It’s an understatement to say that Harris has strong debate and fierce prosecutorial skills. Donald Trump should be happy that he will not face Sen. Kamala Harris on the debate stage.

MSNBC has irritated the hell out of me for creating the narrative that Mike sits in some ivory tower world, running a presidential campaign based solely on his money.

Why doesn't Bloomberg press the flesh, they ask? Is he afraid of people seeing that at 5'8", he's not a very impressive character? Will Mike be revealed as "the emperor with no clothes" like in the Wizzard of Oz? The smugness of the MSNBC anchors about Mike is just stunning to watch?

Speaking in Greensboro, N.C. Thurs., Bloomberg used his rally to respond to Trump's latest insults. "He calls me Little Mike and the answer is, Donald, where I come from, we measure from your neck up," he said.

People Are Coming in Large #s to See Mike

Crowds cheered, writes NPR. Voters are thrilled that Mike is taking it to Trump and crowds Bloomberg's attacks on Trump inspired hope in packed coffee shops, community centers, music clubs and even a train station from Chattanooga, Tenn., Nashville, Tenn., Winston-Salem, N.C., Greensboro, N.C., and Raleigh, N.C. and onto Houston last night. Undecided voters came out to hear Mike and makes their own decisions about Mike Bloomberg.

Recent national polling showed that two-thirds of voters -- including Democrats --aren't upset over a billionaire running for president. And many are considering that it may take more than a billion $$$ to beat Trump.

Listening to MSNBC, you would think that Mike is bombing all over America. In fact, the opposite is happening. Stay tunes. Super Tuesday is coming soon.
