Aha. Reminds me of the old Charlie Peters story about someone pledging not to run against Robert C. Byrd for 2 elections in exchange for his support and Byrd insisting on 3. (I may have that a bit off, but that’s the gist.) https://t.co/s8RldX7YqM

Wagner Act unionism, paid family leave, maybe … “regional wage boards in nonunion industries.” Is that @Compactmag_’s idea of an inspiring populist vision? Depressing. https://t.co/IcqQbGlEFw

Seems pretty damaging in itself–is Emhoff now going to go out and tell us what a wonderful family man he is, talking about abortion, etc.? Not that he’s essential to the campaign, but since she’s a pretty empty vessel they have to fill it with something. Plus her campaign hasn’t… https://t.co/f0xBbxlyk7 https://t.co/DmJMQGthdn

Given Harris’ limited governing chops, whoever she picks as VP might end up providing valuable support–ie running the administration. You’d expect this to be a source of some tensions. (This is assuming they win.)

Editors: If it’s relevant to the election to profile Emhoff in your publication (typically in an absurdly positive light), this story is relevant too. If readers need to know the good details about him, they should also be told the bad details. https://t.co/aTSE6eMhfv

More important, the @NYTimes also leaves out that the woman had to leave her teaching job. Whether she was pregnant or not, this seems a key detail. Did the Times rely *only* on what Kamala aide Brian Fallon told them? There are no other sources of info? https://t.co/LMRorMEkQT
