1/ Unpopular opinion: white America will *likely* win VP.
There& #39;s a lot of nonsense in the article. Very much on-brand for the source, but one thing that& #39;s accurate is polling in swing states favors Warren.
But there& #39;s more to the story.

2/The poll above is a quality poll by Donors of Color Action & it& #39;s the first good look into the VP. The poll below is from YouGov, while dated it confirms the more recent poll.
Let& #39;s be clear, we& #39;re not taking about the "most qualified," that& #39;s Harris in a landslide.

3/We& #39;re talking about something very different, polling. It matters, especially to presidential candidates. New polling erases old polling. This isn& #39;t about qualifications or representation, but it should be.
4/Harris underperformed by 10 points in MI among black voters. Some of this is b/c @GovWhitmer was on the poll, but not all of it.
We - not just black voters b/c Harris has solid support from white voters - need to make this about more than polling.

5/This needs to be about representation. This is about Harris not only representing us in the black community b/c she& #39;s black, it& #39;s about her being an immensely quailed candidate that& #39;s also black. Being smart, strong, & capable is why she should be VP
6/Being black also matters. We& #39;re the reason Biden is the nominee & we every right to representation, but every race benefits for Kamala Harris as VP.
7/If we& #39;re going to win this fight we need to make this about what Kamala *is* not what Warren isn& #39;t. People don& #39;t care Warren lied about her heritage. They care about what is Kamala going to do *for* the ticket vs Warren.
8/8 This doesn& #39;t mean we can& #39;t hold Warren& #39;s feet to the fire, but it has to be relevant. Ancient history is echo chamber chatter. It won& #39;t change minds. Biden& #39;s waiting for polling b/c polls drive political decisions & we& #39;re outnumbered. But we can still win if we push.
@CMargaronis the polling in this thread is what I was nervous about when I said awhile back that feeling like Harris was a frontrunner was dangerous.
