Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has chosen Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Ca.) as his running mate.<br />According to CNN, Biden's pick fulfills his promise to select a woman for the role. The last woman to be chosen for the job was Republican Sarah Palin.<br />Harris is a noteworthy pick. A former prosecutor, Harris is familiar with law, governance, congressional dealings, and the campaign trail.<br />Not only that, one of the jobs of the VP during the campaign is to bring the case against the other ticket, particularly during the vice presidential debate.<br />Finally, Harris had already been vetted, more or less, during her own run for the White House. That alone has saved the Biden campaign time, and minimized risk.
