Les Lester's Chronicle, Message Board: Re: Kamala Harris was not Biden's first choice for VP...

Good point, GM. In hindsight, Gretchen Whitmer would have likely won the election, unless there
had been massive blow back among Black low propensity votes, meanwhile.

I frankly wanted Kamala to win, which could have ripple effects on the long-term framing between
Western hemisphere and Eastern hemisphere Blacks.

Good to know that cause it supports my observation at the time..

Biden's 1st choice was Gretchen Whitmer, the Gov. of Michigan.
He went instead with Kamala Harris because of the Black Lives Matter political atmosphere in the country..
BIG MISTAKE and I said it at the time, taking some serious blowback on LLC..
If Biden had stuck with Gretchen Whitmer, TRUMP WOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT TODAY..
For sure Whitmer would have won Michigan because of her good relationship with the massive Arab community in that state.
