Opinion: Kamala Harris’ VP Must Also Be Brat
Now that Vice President Kamala Harris has all but officially been named as the Democratic Party’s new presidential candidate, it’s time to speculate wildly about who she’ll choose to be her running mate. Already, people are hand-wringing about it being a swing state politician who can “balance” the ticket by being perceived as less liberal and more male and white.
Historically, VP picks haven’t had that much of an impact on voters. The last time a swing state running mate actually helped a president win a swing state was in 1960.
That means our first brat presidential candidate should actually prioritize a veep with whom she can appropriately vibe. Someone who can match her freak. Someone who is, in short, also brat.
