For quite a few weeks I have been a Bottoms fan, enough of one, in fact, to make me question my opinion on the advisability of Sen. Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's
running mate. And it seems I have company. Tom Friedman:
"Every time I hear Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms speak — whether about dealing with the coronavirus, injustice or the rioting in her town — I want to ask Joe Biden: 'Are you interviewing her for vice president?'"
Bottoms as veep remains questionable in my mind, because of her largely public anonymity and limited national activities. But my God is she ever impressive in knowledge, poise and speech: "clean and articulate," as her potential boss might say, which also elected our first African-American president.
