Why choosing Kamala Harris for vice president would be a mistake

As presidential candidate Joe Biden’s list of vice president potentials shrinks, California Sen. Kamala Harris’s name keeps moving to the top, according to multiple reports.

Given the current political climate, it makes sense that Biden would want to bring a black woman on board his campaign. But Harris isn’t the right person for the job. One of the reasons her presidential campaign failed was because she couldn’t reconcile her progressive platform with her past as a criminal justice hardliner. And with the criminal justice system staring down additional reform and law enforcement facing scrutiny, does Biden really want to tie his campaign to someone who was once apart of the problem?
