Would Kamala Harris be disloyal if she were VP?

These concerns about Harris’s ambition and loyalty are misplaced. In fact, they have it complete backwards. If he nominates Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate, Joe Biden can count on her loyalty to him. And the reason he can count on that is her ambition to be president…

How do you get to be your party’s presidential nominee? If you are the vice president, the answer is simple — prove to be a loyal working partner to the president.

One clear and obvious example of how this works is Joe Biden. Why is Biden the Democratic Party’s nominee for president today? Largely because he was Barack Obama’s vice president. Biden proved his loyalty to Obama by building up a closer personal and political friendship with his boss.
