Who Is Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto? Biden Reveals Top 3 VP Picks

Presidential candidate Joe Biden has narrowed down his list of potential running mates to a small group of women in recent weeks after pledging that his nominee for vice president would be female during the last Democratic debate earlier this month.

Biden reportedly told former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is in his "top three" picks for the role of his running mate, and according to Mediaite, Reid has expressed his support for her as the former vice president's vice presidential nominee.

Reid believes Cortez Masto, the first Latina Senator in the U.S., will help Biden garner support from members of the Latino community in the general election.

Cortez Masto's name has also been mentioned in other recent reports about Biden selecting his potential running mates. On Tuesday, the Democratic 2020 frontrunner said he is whittling his list and will soon begin a vetting process. Although Biden declined to name any candidates, unnamed sources with direct knowledge of the matter told CNBC that Senators Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar are also on the shortlist, as well as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Florida Rep. Val Demings.

I know that Biden already intends to pick a female AA for the Supreme Court and I know that my reason is not the most important factor, but the VP pick would be a great gesture to the demographic that lifted Biden up and that has also been incredibly loyal to the Democratic Party.

MSN, Newsweek, Mediaite are not reliable or respected sources. Yahoo News has it "Biden REPORTEDLY says."

It might be that the campaign is floating this U.S. senator's name and more speculation will follow, but it could turn out to simply not be true as well.
