Biden’s VP list Narrows: Warren, Harris, Rice, others.
- Thread starter ZW33
- Start date
While I prefer Harris (and she is the front-runner), I was the first to predict Rice for the VP nom in this poll. Biden has a longstanding working relationship with her as they were both part of Obama's administration and she doesn''t have the Kopmala stigma... which, frankly, I think is non-deserved as Harris has never been a cop. There's only one cop in this shortlist and it's Demings.

Can't wait for him to pick Harris and Liberals to get really confused why people don't like her
Warren is good white folk. It's that Klob that we're fearing.
I'd be fine with Elizabeth or Harris, but I think Harris would be best for the debates. She's a helluva debater, where Warren is hit or miss with them.
I would be fine with either Warren or Harris, but I prefer Warren.
Expecting Harris though
Hopefully Biden subverts expectations and chooses Warren bye

This short list pretty much locks it to Harris for me. Warren would be better in the Senate and I don't see much chance of any of the other four.
Why are people in this thread acting like the VP is gonna seriously drive any type of policy, especially above the head of the President? They typically don't have any real power (unless the President dies obv). If you want progressive change keeping Warren in the Senate is a better look.
Normally I agree with this take but I think Biden has the potential to be a GWB situation with the VP having a lot more say than usual.
Because Biden is very likely going to be a one-term president so any VP he picks will likely be the nom for 2024.
A GWB situation would be the VP being the shadow president and I don't think we're going there this time. If the House and hopefully the Senate push some great progressive policy through both chambers are we really concerned Kamala is gonna somehow whisper in Joe's ear to veto it? And he would comply?
Benghazi's going to be blaring non-stop regardless. At least this harmonizes an already existing point of attack against Biden as opposed to introducing a new one. Especially when we've already seen this one isn't getting much in the way of traction against him.
Harris has aligned with Sanders on votes 93% of the time in the Senate.
I'd be more worried about someone else whispering in Biden's ear to crush progressive policy over her.

Damn, Abrams didn't make it :(
I really would like Warren but that means losing her Senate seat which won't be good so that's completely out of the question for me.
Harris then sounds like a good VP for Biden.
Interestingly enough, it says here that Harris actually now supports federal-level legalization of marijuana:

As great as Warren would be, she would be better to stay in the Senate to help get things done.

Sorry I don't understand US politics, isn't Harris also a Senator?
How are they different?
Why, because of her past? Be serious, it will have nearly no impact on her current thinking much less influence Joe.
Technically, the Vice President is president of the Senate, but for some reason, the precedent has been that the VP only acts as a silent supervisor and tie-breaker. It's such a weird role considering it's very important for being president in case of an emergency and for being a favorite for future nomination, but it also means that they're typically out of power for about 4 years.
Harris and Warren have been my top candidates throughout this whole process. I think that Warren would be most effective at VP, but that Harris has killed it the last 3 weeks. She's my top candidate, but I'd be happy with either.
If I were betting I'd bet in Harris. Although if someone brings up Warren's seat going republican I have a lot written up on how that's not happening. I'm on my phone and can't copy paste to find it but basically MA legislature has a veto proof majority that would require the governor to appoint a Democrat to the seat should Warren leave and it's just a temporary placeholder, and Dems will not lose that seat in a special election. Please search my post history from like the last 2 weeks "Warren Baker" and it'll show

Except Harris just put forward meaningful police reform legislation in the Senate 10 days ago.
