who said she has worked closely with Kamala Harris for many years, starting well before Vice President Harris went to Washington as a Senator. They were both members of California's state Congress, and earlier. As soon as I heard her, I immediately thought of Cuba, considering Barbara Lee has been to Cuba many times in an official capacity, even had lengthy conversations with Fidel Castro and had supported normalizing relations with Cuba in Washington for many years.
I realized if Kamala Harris has been close to Barbara Lee all these years, without a doubt, she already knows about Barbara Lee's thoughts and what she has learned about Cuba over the years and has had access to a real understanding of Cuba/US history from both sides, in addition to the absolutely vicious political war the hard right has conducted against the island all this time.
That's something to hope won't be forgotten.
Thanks, Marcus IM.
