Clyburn Notes the Benefits of Kamala Harris as Biden’s VP Pick

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) is outlining the benefits of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden having Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his vice presidential pick.

During an appearance on CNN Wednesday, Clyburn recalled the discussions he’d had with Biden as his campaign team vetted vice presidential candidates.

Clyburn noted that Harris’ dreams and aspirations align with Biden’s but the differences in their backgrounds can serve as a means of bridging the gap between two different worlds.

The high-ranking Democrat also insists Harris’ proven ability to “ through in areas” where women never have before brings a new “aura” to the Biden campaign.

“With the success that she’s had breaking through in areas that no woman had broken into before, I think all of that gives 👤Joe Biden the kind of aura around his campaign that will endear him to American people,” he said.

Clyburn’s latest remarks come just one day after Biden’s announcement. During an interview with NPR, Clyburn also noted a number of other strong attributes Harris brings to the table as he commended her debating skills which will likely prove to be beneficial in the coming months.
