Harris's former press secretary: Biden's announcement he'll pick female VP was tactically brilliant [View all]

Link to tweet

From a tactical perspective, Biden's decision to announce that he'll pick a woman running mate is also brilliant. In a crowded news environment, with coronavirus dominating wall-to-wall, that's the kind of announcement that demands tons of attention out of this late-stage debate.

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