Congressman Cedric Richmond - Louisiana
Kamala Harris is looking at former Louisiana Congressman and state representative Cedric Richmond as a potential running mate. UNO Political Science professor Ed Chervenak says Richmond is an interesting option…
“When a Presidential candidate is looking for a Vice Presidential nominee they’re looking for someone to balance the ticket. Whether it be geographical, ideological or based on experience.”
Harris has reportedly requested vetting materials on the New Orleans native, but Chervenak says Richmond won’t do enough for the Democratic ticket and will not likely be the VP nominee.
“Louisiana is a red state and I don’t thing Cedric Richmond is going to deliver the state to the Democrats in the upcoming election.”
Richmond previously worked in the Biden Administration and Chervenak says he will likely work in the Harris administration if elected.
“He would be a good candidate for a cabinet position. He has lots of experience in Washington. He knows how it operates. Where to push the buttons and where to pull the levers.”
