Former VP Contenders Congratulate Kamala Harris For Securing Historic Nomination - Blavity

California Senator  Kamala Harris got a lot of love on Tuesday when she was announced the vice president nominee for Joe Biden . Many of Harris' competitors for the position sent in their well wishes after Biden made his choice. For months, speculation has raged about who Biden would choose. Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate  Stacey Abrams , Congresswoman  Karen Bass , Atlanta Mayor  Keisha Lance Bottoms , Congresswoman Val Demings, former U.S. Ambassador  Susan Rice and Senator Elizabeth Warren  had their names mentioned for the position after Biden announced that his running mate would be a woman.   They have each dealt with a tidal wave of misogyny and racism from the media, Republican opponents and members of Biden's own search committee. But on Tuesday, Abrams, Bass and Rice came together to congratulate Harris.
