Biden/Harris - For one very important reason, campaign money. [View all]

Having a sitting VP from a money rich state like CA provides a pipeline for funding of the DNC, state, and congressional races for the next four years and possibly beyond.

The one-two-three punches of Harris (CA), Pelosi(CA), and Schumer(NY) mean that members will more than likely fall in line when push comes to shove for the important votes to come or face being cut off.

I know it sounds crass, but politics aint bean bag. And no, the Bernie method of only small donors only works for Bernie. No one else has shown that they can do it.

VPOUTS Harris can have tremendous influence across the nation. She can bring CA values nationwide.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
