The California senator flipped the script on worries that America isn't ready to elect a woman president.
Campaigning in New Hampshire, the junior senator from California and Democratic presidential candidate was asked if she had grown tired of hearing speculation that she might make a good vice-presidential candidate on a ticket with current frontrunners Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders.
"I think that Joe Biden would be a great running mate," says Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris, who, like Joe Biden, is a 2020 presidential candidate."As vice president, he's proven that he knows how to do the job." pic.twitter.com/GaxeERvTAr Harris has been resolute in dismissing the electability question, telling CNN that “voters are smarter than hearing and listening to all that noise.”
“So let me just say this about confidence,” Warren said. “This is the heart of it. It’s, how are we going to fight? Not just individually, but how are we going to fight together? Are we going to fight because we’re afraid? Are we going to show up for people that we din’t actually believe in, but because we were too afraid to do anything else? That’s not who we are. That’s not how we’re going to do this.
