https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/12/joe-biden-kamala-harris-dream-ticket-1317561The 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.

OP
I tend to agree, Presidential candidates are too invested in their own runs to play 2nd fiddle

We'll see, primary battles come first, VPs aren't usually chosen till around the convention

Biden-Harris has been my dream ticket too, but I know she'd be outstanding as Attorney General.

I agree she'd be an outstanding AG (if she isn't the nominee for prez or VP).

Harris hasn't impressed me at all. How about Stacey Abrams, Susan Rice or Valerie Jarrett? nt
