Liberals are very fond of superficial history-making. Their list could be anything from the first African-American president to the first non-binary demi-sexual paraplegic otherkin president. Now, doing that electorally might face a tiny problem, namely, the American people might not prefer the chosen female candidate.
So the only other way is to put someone in the VP spot who will graciously accept the burden when old Biden is pushed out, bows out, or worse. As inevitable as thunder after lightning, therefore, Biden picked Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential candidate.
So, what sort of a VP candidate will Harris be? This is a million-dollar question, since essentially this is a Harris-Biden ticket. Harris is the presidential candidate on this ticket in all but name. There is no question the main force behind this projected administration is and will be Harris, not Biden. Given her personality plus her youth and energy compared to Biden’s, she will likely be a huge factor in all major domestic decisions and even some foreign ones.
Unlike Biden, however, Harris will be the one getting all the fawning coverage, from her wardrobe choices to how “stunning and brave” she is. In a complete memory hole, it will be forgotten that she cynically accused Biden of being a racist and then laughed it off in private. Indeed, by her own “Believe Women” standards displayed during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing, she has now joined the team of a sexual predator. It is imperative therefore to contextualize her real ambition and capability from her rhetoric.
