Joe Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield has denied a Politico report that Sen. Kamala Harris, a California Democrat, is losing ground as a possible candidate for the alleged Democratic presidential candidate.
“I would say to that story, don’t believe everything you read,” Bedingfield told “The Story” presenter Martha MacCallum on Monday. “Don’t believe everything you read in Politico.”
Biden promised in March to choose a career partner. Recent riots and protests over police brutality and racial discrimination have led many political observers to predict that Biden will choose a woman of color, such as Harris, Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., A former Orlando police chief. or former national security adviser Susan Rice.
According to the report, former Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, a key member of Biden’s vice presidential search committee, recently asked Harris about his strategy for confronting Biden in a Democratic debate last summer about his opposition to removing the segregation in the 1970s.
According to Dodd, Harris’ response was to laugh at the heated moment and say, “That’s politics.”

“She had no regrets,” a longtime Biden supporter and donor told Politico about the exchange. “Dodd felt it was a trick, that it was cheap.” The report went on to state that Dodd has supported the representative of the Black Caucus president of Congress, Karen Bass, a Democrat from California, for the number 2 position in the Democrat. ticket.
“I don’t think anyone in the country has a better idea of what it takes to be vice president than Joe Biden,” Bedingfield said. “He is looking for someone in this process who could be the kind of partner for him that was for Barack Obama.”
