Politician appears to have shot when reporting that Kamala Harris was chosen to be Joe Biden’s running mate.
Biden, slated to announce his election for vice president next week, was beaten by Politico in his “running mate summary,” indicating that he elected the California senator on August 1.
“Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris to become his candidate for the 2020 election on August 1, two weeks before the Democratic National Convention, after holding his election close to the chest for months,” Politico wrote of the possible Democratic ticket. .

Fox News confirmed that the text was published by mistake; it has since been removed. The post was uncovered by Mark Bednar, spokesman for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., And included a quote:
“In his announcement, Biden called Harris ‘a worthy opponent and a worthy career partner,’ alluding to the couple’s rivalry during the early stages of the Democratic primary. She will bring her experience as a prosecutor, recognition of her name and ability. as a debate on the ticket, “the report said.
Brad Dayspring, vice president of marketing and communications for Politico, told Fox News that “placeholder text” was accidentally posted for Harris.

“The placeholder text was mistakenly posted on the site,” Dayspring said. “Our standard practice is to use ‘lorem ipsum’ as placeholder text. In this case, that did not happen. We regret the error and any confusion it may have caused.”
Harris is among several women on Biden’s list of vice presidents, including Representatives Karen Bass and Val Demmings, Senators Tammy Duckworth and Elizabeth Warren, and former Obama National Security Advisor Suan Rice.
