Karen Bass' emergence as a potential Joe Biden VP pick was greeted with mostly glowing reviews at first. But she's now being confronted with a wave of coverage detailing a series of potentially problematic past affiliations, speeches and financial dealings
Karen Bass was mostly unknown outside of California when her name popped up as a potential running mate to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Her emergence was greeted with a round of mostly glowing reviews. The 66-year-old chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus is roundly respected by her colleagues in the House, a body otherwise riven by partisan bickering and testy factional feuds. Republicans in California have sung her praises. Progressive Democrats, resigned to the unlikelihood of Biden's choosing Sen. Elizabeth Warren, perked up as rumors of her rise proliferated.
