Did I miss something here (possibly obvious sarcasm!)... was Biden & Harris getting drawn together anything other than a 50/50 chance? Sorry I didn't watch the DNC draft lottery :/

How would that help raise their profile for future elections? At least 10/20 could do it and receive zero press coverage.

I don't want to say he shouldn't attack Biden, because clearly there is still meat on that bone & it's the reason Harris was the one who gained traction in the first round (unless you count people who suddenly realized Tulsi Gabbard is pretty on the TV), but I think there's also a lane (for him) to point out that Harris might check boxes as a black woman, but she's really not a super liberal candidate on the issues. Having both Warren & Sanders on the other side could help in that sense.
He seems committed to positivity though, so good luck.
