Kamala Harris Picks Midwestern White Guy

Today Vice President Kamala Harris picked a running mate for her 2024 presidential campaign. From just minutes after President Biden ended his campaign and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, political pundits were already describing the kind of person Harris would have to pick to make her ticket palatable to middle America....

From the moment Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee, the pundit class was saying she'd have to pick a Midwestern White Guy as her running mate

So I thought, why not pick a Midwestern White guy with experience running a presidential campaign, someone who's also familiar with the Biden/Harris administration, someone who's got executive experience, say, running a cabinet level agency....

Sec'y Transportation Pete Buttigieg meets the definition of Midwestern White Guy....

Oops, when the pundits said "Midwestern White guy" they left one thing unsaid...

From the moment Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee, the pundit class was saying she'd have to pick a Midwestern White Guy as her running mate. They also meant STRAIGHT. Sorry, Mayor Pete.

Sorry, Mayor Pete.
