Not all Democrats are sold on Vice President Kamala Harris being President Joe Biden's running mate again in 2024, and a number of prominent party members have given cryptic answers surrounding her status.
Biden's reelection campaign is looking to squash a recent wave of Harris skepticism coming from Democratic strategists and notable columnists. In an effort to do so, his team is emphasizing coverage of the vice president's college bus tour, during which she has been warmly received by students. The Biden team has looked to overcome skepticism around poor polling and Washington, D.C., beltway voices in favor of what appears to be strong support for Harris among young voters.
When Pelosi was asked on CNN if Harris is the best running mate for Biden, she said,"He thinks so, and that’s what matters." In a subsequent appearance on MSNBC, Pelosi made the point of emphasizing her support for both Biden and Harris in 2024.The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Raskin similarly avoided several prompts as to whether Harris is the best running mate for Biden this month."That’s President Biden’s choice. And I think she’s an excellent running mate for President Biden," he told CNN's Jake Tapper.
