Senator Kamala Harris topped a list of handwritten notes by presidential Democratic nominee Joe Biden, along with cryptic talking points such as “hold no grudges” and “great help for the campaign.”
Biden is expected to announce his election for vice president in the coming weeks after months in advance. On the candidate list for his running mate is Harris, who is among a “highly qualified and” diverse “group, citing his notes.
An Associated Press photographer captured Biden’s notes at a campaign event in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday. Under Harris’s name, Biden listed five talking points: “don’t hold a grudge,” “he campaigned with me and Jill,” “talented,” “great help with campaigning,” and “great respect for her.”
While Biden did not respond to any questions specifically about Harris, the notes could be in response to a member of his vice-presidential search committee who expressed concern about Harris as Biden’s running mate, Politico reported Monday.
In a conversation with Harris, former Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd said he “had no regrets” after discussing a heated exchange between her and Biden on the stage of the debate last year, where he denounced Biden’s opposition to buses.
“There was a girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and every day they took her by bus to school,” she said at the time. “And that girl was me.”
Their relationship has become much friendlier since the debate, as Harris has supported Biden and his campaign, and the former vice president has spoken fondly of her.
