- IS SHE QUALIFIED? As the mayor of a diverse city with international connections, I would say yes, but it’s debatable.
- IS SHE IDEOLOGICALLY COMPATIBLE? Yes. She was a Biden supporter from the beginning.
- COULD SHE RUN AND WIN IN 2024? There is no way of knowing until we see her on a national stage.
- WOULD PICKING HER PUT A SENATE SEAT AT RISK? No.
- HAS SHE BEEN VETTED NATIONALLY? No.
- DOES SHE BRING SOMETHING POSITIVE TO THE CAMPAIGN? Strong connections to the African-American community, and probably a few additional votes in Georgia, but we have no idea how effective she would be on the national stage, and the possibility of white backlash over police issues is significant.
THE VERDICT: Another high risk choice for a campaign that shouldn’t be taking too many chances.
