WILMINGTON, Del. \u2014 Joe Biden was uncharacteristically tight-lipped on Tuesday about the final stretch of his search for a vice president. But the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee seemed prepared to talk about at least one leading contender: California Sen. Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

As he took questions from reporters on Tuesday, Biden held notes that were captured by an Associated Press photographer. Harris\u2019 name was scrawled across the top, followed by five talking points.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not hold grudges.\u201d \u201cCampaigned with me & Jill.\u201d \u201cTalented.\u201d \u201cGreat help to campaign.\u201d \u201cGreat respect for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those are all observations Biden has made about Harris before. But they take on new significance following a recent Politico report that one of Biden\u2019s closest friends and a co-chair of his vice presidential vetting committee, former Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, still harbors concerns about Harris\u2019 tough debate stage performance and that she hasn\u2019t expressed regret.<\/p>\n

The comments attributed to Dodd have drawn condemnation, especially from influential Democratic women who maintain that Harris is being held to a standard that wouldn\u2019t apply to a man running for president.<\/p>\n

The debate-stage skirmish was one of the seminal moments of the Democratic primary. Harris, who is Black, said Biden made \u201cvery hurtful\u201d comments about his past work with segregationist senators before she slammed his opposition to busing as schools began to integrate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a little girl in California who was a part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd that little girl was me.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, Biden called her comments \u201ca mischaracterization of my position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their relationship has become considerably more amicable.<\/p>\n

Biden has praised Harris publicly many times and noted that he\u2019s thought highly of her personally and professionally since she became close to his late son, Beau Biden, when both were state attorneys general.<\/p>\n

It is common for high-profile politicians to take notes with them to the podium, either handwritten additions to formal remarks or a bullet-point list like what Biden held on stationery featuring his full name: Joseph R. Biden Jr.<\/p>\n

In March, early in the coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump\u2019s notes were photographed to show \u201cChinese\u201d written over \u201ccorona,\u201d part of the president\u2019s efforts to blame the pandemic on a foreign adversary. Last year, as Trump faced impeachment for pressuring Ukraine officials to help his reelection by finding dirt on Biden, the president had notes that read: \u201cI want nothing\u201d and \u201cI want no quid pro quo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s list, at the least, suggests that he wants to defuse any tensions around his relationship with Harris. As reflected in his notes, Harris has become a reliable surrogate for Biden, appearing with him in online fundraisers amid the unusual social distancing standards forced on the campaign by the COVID-19 pandemic. As recently as last week, Harris headlined her own event for Biden, one focused on the Raleigh area in North Carolina, a battleground state where Harris\u2019 dual appeal to Black voters and college-educated white women could boost Democrats\u2019 prospects.<\/p>\n

Biden ultimately did not field a question specifically about Harris. A spokesperson for Harris did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

In just his third extended news conference in four months, Biden also sidestepped specific questions about the timing of his decision on a running mate, an approach reflected in another entry on Biden\u2019s notepad. Under the heading \u201cVP,\u201d Biden wrote \u201chighly qualified\u201d and \u201cdiverse group,\u201d signifying his intention not to tease out any more details.<\/p>\n

Beyond vice presidential politics, Biden\u2019s topics included the Justice Department, an allusion to Attorney General William Barr testifying Tuesday on Capitol Hill. His notes did not name Barr, but Biden referenced \u201cthe people\u2019s lawyer \u2026 not the president\u2019s lawyer,\u201d echoing his previous assertions that Barr has used his post as the latter.<\/p>\n

On the \u201cLast 100 days\u201d of the campaign, Biden wrote that he\u2019d be \u201coffering clearest contrast,\u201d \u201ctell the truth,\u201d \u201ctake responsibility\u201d and \u201clisten to the scientists\u201d \u2013 all swipes at Trump.<\/p>\n

The list also included the original three-part slogan of Biden\u2019s campaign: \u201cRestore soul\u201d of the nation, \u201cRebuild MC\u201d (the middle class) and \u201cunite country.\u201d<\/p>\n
