LaTosha Brown, co-founder of the voter outreach group Black Voters Matter, has urged Vice President Kamala Harris to consider a diverse range of candidates for her running mate, rather than being limited to selecting a straight White man. Brown emphasized the importance of thinking outside the box and making a bold choice to further the current momentum of the Democratic party.
In a recent statement, Brown highlighted that Americans are eager for a new paradigm shift in politics. She praised Vice President Harris for bringing renewed energy and financial support to the presidential election, stating that voters are seeking a candidate who represents a diverse and inclusive America.
Brown expressed that the traditional political formula of a straight white man ticket is no longer relevant in today's society. She emphasized that while straight white men have historically been the face of political leadership, progress in America has always been driven by the diverse perspectives and leadership of women and communities of color.
The statement suggested that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg should be given equal consideration as potential running mates for Vice President Harris. Brown emphasized the need for Democrats to step out of their comfort zones and embrace a more diverse and representative ticket.
