Biden delivers

I think it’s a virtual lock he picks an AA woman in light of recent events. He’d be smart to pick someone with a strong background in law.

eta: He picks an AA woman (not what’s-her-nuts from Georgia, though) and he wins this thing. 100%.

You mean Stacey Abrams? Why not?

I dunno. It’s just a feeling. It’s about electoral votes. There’s a rep from Florida that could help him win the state, the Dems’ bane of Gore’s and Hillary Clinton’s campaigns. There’s also an AG out of NY that’d be a smart pick, her name escapes me.

One sec. Googling.

Letitia James.

That’d be my pick.

Okay I don't know who that is. Will check her out. I have to say I'm happy you didn't suggest Kamala Harris. I wasn't at all impressed with her performance on the debate stage.

Well. She’s savvy, for sure. I just don’t think a Californian does the trick for the East coast or Rust Belt. A Texan could work. I’ll have to google some more.

So what is he waiting for? Now is the time. He won't do it. He will announce his VP in August and it will be a white woman or Kamala Harris (not African American).

Kamala Harris does identify as Black though.

I don't think he was going to pick an African American woman for VP before this incident, though.

Biden will NOT pick an African-American woman for VP. I will vote for him if he does, but he won't.

"He added, “By choosing a woman — or, say, an African-American woman, in particular — Biden . . . would be sending a message to voters about who he is — specifically, that he is someone who values diversity and the role that women — or African American women, in particular — play in American society and in the Democratic Party. That message probably would help to win him some votes. But we’re not exactly talking about ‘delivering’ large blocs of voters.”

"Party elites tend to indicate that the Democrats’ path to victory is winning white voters in the Midwest — as opposed to firing up more liberal voters or increasing support among people of color. So this metric (party elites’ perceptions of electability) would likely favor Baldwin, Klobuchar and Whitmer in particular."

I will come back to this post in August.

DT I had to do some investigation on the above. Jamaican's are of African descent. So Kamala Harris is indeed African American.

I won't vote for Biden/Harris. No need, Trump is going to lose anyway.
