Kamala Harris thinks Joe Biden would be 'a great running mate'
Did you hear the one about a 2020 Democratic ticket consisting of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris?
Many people apparently consider it a compelling idea. During a campaign appearance in New Hampshire, Harris, a Democratic senator from California, said she likes the pairing herself — as long as the roles are flipped. Biden, after all, has plenty of experience as the vice president of the United States.
Harris' quick-witted, but ultimately good-natured response did pave way for some more serious criticism of Biden, though. Harris was later asked about Biden's support of a 1994 crime bill. She said, despite her respect for her competitor, she disagrees with his stance that it did not lead to mass incarceration. Tim O'Donnell
