Whoa, Biden commits to picking a woman as VP.

I believe I heard that correctly. That is huge.

We'd be talking Warren, Harris, or Klobuchar.

Good for him. It's time.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

4. Abrams?

Klobuchar would be my second choice. Do we have a Wisconsin favored daughter like Baldwin?

I don't want to play the identity game, but I would like to see the VP be African American. I just feel Harris feels too west coast for WI, MI, and PA.

Abrams was born in Wisconsin and grew up in the south. Could she help in Florida? Of course she doesn't have the resume of the other three, but serving as minority leader in a large state House is a pretty important job as well.

A Biden-Harris ticket would need to be able to respond to criticisms of being coastal.

But I truly don't think Abrams will be in consideration. She didn't win her own state race. Instead of picking a rising star, we need to pick a current one.

I think Warren has the same coastal vibe. Abrams did come awfully close in red Georgia though even with her opponent setting the ballot access rules and restrictions in his favor.

After the pandemic we must have someone with intimate knowledge of the federal government.

I urge Joe to choose Elizabeth Warren as his running mate. Not only because I want to see a woman President but also because she will broaden Joe’s base.
