Current Events > Joe Biden's VP is now down to 6..and Warren is the LAST WHITE WOMAN STANDING!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Joe Biden's search for a VP is now down to SIX women..and Elizabeth Warren is the last white woman standing!~

The vetting is now dwindling as sources say these 6 are likely the ones in contention.

Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Susan Rice, Florida Rep. Val Demings, Atlanta Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms and New Mexico Gov, Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Latina

The process is fluid but those with knowledge of this said additional candidates may still be vetted but the sources spoke on anonymity as they were not authorized to pubilcly discuss the process

Biden has already said he will pick a woman as his running mate and is facing increased calls to pick a woman of colour on the ticket both because of the outsize role that black voters played in his nomination and because of the reckoning over racism and inequality over the death of George Floyd that has caused mass protests

Former Governor, Terry McAuliffe said Biden's choice will likely be all about personal chemistry, he said it be exciting to have a black woman on a major presidential ticket for the first time

Those were vetted were asked to turn over financial records, past writings and other documentation as he has had various public and private interactions with man of the women vetting but no formal one on one interviews which isn't expected for several weeks

Susan Rice is seen as a top contender by many democrat sources but so has Harris and Warren.

Warren and Biden have forged a surprising bond in recent months and talk regularly about progressive policies ideas that she put on her campaign as Biden has already adopted her propsed bankruptcy law overhaul and some democrats see her policy credentials as an asset considering what the coronavirus pandemic has done

Amy Klobuchar was once considered a shot is now likely out after her revelations as Minnesota Attorney were revealed in her handling of the police department involving Derek Chauvin. Tammy Duckworth and Stacey Abrams are still a dark horse but not likely in contention anymore

Who do you think should be the VP of these 6?

Stacey Abrams mad af right now. Hopefully not Kamala.
---

Warren over Harris, but I don't know enough about the others.

---

---

Picking a candidate based solely on their gender is pretty low, but the puppet will do as he's told

---

No Tulsi no vote

---

um, where's Michelle?

---

I don't want Elizabeth Warren, she makes no sense as a VP

Don't pick someone who's going to take away a Dem Senate seat that will be hard to replace

---

really? no men?

---

Honestly Id just pick whoever would generate the least negative press....we saw what happened with Sarah Palin.

Massachusetts Democrats hold enough seats in the legislature to change how her replacement is picked.

normally I'd agree but two considerations:

1. Biden may die/resign.
2. Whoever is Biden's VP if he wins will be set up as the next "chosen" presidential candidate for the cycle after (whether that be 2024 or 2028), except if it's Warren (esp if age is an issue).

Why does it have to be a woman?

---

I picked Harris before I saw Bottoms. She would be ideal.

---

Where is the option for Hilary?

---

Two cops(Kamala was AG, Demings was Orlandos police chief and also a perennial sponsor of Blue Lives Matter legislation) a hawk(Rice), a disappointment(Warren) whose seat would probably be filled with a worse Dem, and then the wild card at the bottom.
Oh, and Bottoms oversees Atlantas cops, so, well, Im sure there are plenty of skeletons.

We've known this for literal months

for the people confused on the gender, he promised months ago that it will be a woman. whether you agree that is a good thing to do or not, it's what he did. and its a done deal

anyway, Warren would be utter bullshit for a multitude of reasons. but mostly because at this current time now, it will HAVE to be a woman of color. if he picks any white woman now, its gonna look very bad for him.

It shouldn't be Harris either. they actually hate each other so it will be very stupid for them to end up being partners

Rice is arguably the most qualified for the role.

CE seems to just vote for the most publicized faces.

if all 6 were men these users saying "why no men" would not be posting "why no women"

Difference is no one would be allowed to come out and say they aren't picking a women and won't even consider picking one. If anyone said that they would get shit on constantly. But its perfectly acceptable to say it about men.

men have ruined this country since the beginning how bout we try some thing else

I knew he wouldn't pick Abrams. Biden really dislikes fat people.

Hurr

Also, I picked lance bottoms because I like the name, it is also good advice.

we need to try women what have men done so far besides endless wars and a nation super divided

He should pick whoever will bring in the most votes. F*** personal chemistry, just get dumbass Trump out of the White House.
