Kamala Harris would be a nightmare pick for Biden attorney general

Published March 9, 2020 4:53pm ET



Just a few weeks ago, it looked like Joe Biden’s presidential campaign was done. Now, after a drastic change in the candidate’s fortunes on Super Tuesday, we’re already imagining what the cabinet of the new favorite for the Democratic nomination would look like if he wins the White House. And at least as far as attorney general is concerned, Biden’s possible cabinet is frightening indeed.

As reported by the Washington Examiner, both Sen. Kamala Harris, a California Democrat who just endorsed Biden, and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates are being considered as possible picks to head the Justice Department. As far as Harris is concerned, this speculation is only further fueled by how she just pulled a complete 180-degree reversal and went from lobbing charges of racism at Biden to endorsing him for the nomination. But let’s be clear: Regardless of however you may feel about a Biden administration, the prospect of Harris as attorney general should terrify you.
