"When you sit at the epicenter of political power, if you don't use that power now, then when will you use it?" Cross asked me recently on "Salon Talks" while discussing her new book " Say It Louder! Black Voters, White Narratives & Saving Our Democracy." For Cross, a resident fellow at the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School, Biden's VP pick is less about how Black someone is and more about "how Black are her policies?" From Kamala Harris to Susan Rice to Stacey Abrams - Black women who appear to be in the mix - Cross is zeroing in on "who could do the job on day one." Tiffany Cross is pushing for him to choose a Black woman, saying that she's tired of Black voters being afraid to make demands because they fear another term of Donald Trump. Joe Biden has promised to announce his vice presidential running mate in August, perhaps as soon as next week.
