Democrats are going to spin this by arguing that it is factually incorrect to contend that Harris was picked because of her gender and color. “The argument coming from Republicans is Harris — who had served 13 years as DA + AG before 3.5 years in the Senate — was a DEI hire for Biden, while JD Vance — who wrote a bestseller, worked in venture capital briefly & has been in the Senate 18 months was picked because of his résumé,” argued CNN Senior Reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere.

No, that’s not the argument. The argument is that Biden decided to, or was pressured into, picking a black woman by Democrats in 2020. He promised to do it. He bragged about doing it. All Dovere had to do was search his own website to find the evidence.

“Joe Biden Says He Is Considering Four Black Women To Be His Running Mate,” a 2020 CNN headline explained — not four of the “most qualified” people. “Joe Biden Pressed Again To Name A Black Woman As His Running Mate,” read a headline in The Washington Post.  “Pressure Grows On Joe Biden To Pick A Black Woman As His Running Mate,” said an NPR headline, right under the words “America Reckons With Racial Injustice” — written a little more than three years after Barack Obama finished his eight-year tenure as the most powerful man in the world.
