Kamala Harris
(AP) California Senator Kamala Harris has made two fundraising moves that are sure to fuel speculation about her prospects to be Joe Biden’s running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket.
Harris herself dropped out of the White House race in December. Now she has set up the kind of arrangement with the Democratic National Committee that’s typically reserved for nominees trying to attract large donations from the party’s biggest boosters. She made a surprise appearance on a virtual Biden fundraiser to introduce the former vice president.
Biden has committed to selecting a woman as his running mate, and there’s a considerable push in the party for him to select a woman of color. Harris is the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants.
