Sen. Amy Klobuchar Withdraws from Consideration as Joe Biden's VP Pick; Says She Believes a WoC Should Be VP Pick
- Thread starter T0M
- Start date
Val Demmings would be a good choice. Former cop, but one of the more vocal faces in the impeachment. Having met her she's a very nice person to boot.
You're probably right. "Both sides" is a damn slur in my eyes at this point.
New Monmouth poll has Harris as the #1 choice, especially among AA voters.
Panel Of Democratic Voters Shows Support For Kamala Harris As VP
A majority said they prefer a woman of color as nationwide protests against racism have resulted in sweeping changes.

The protests changed the entire conversation.
Biden campaign gave her the graceful exit.
EDIT: Y'all aren't realizing that this is pretty much done and dusted at this point. Klobuchar getting to say she withdrew and claim to have input on the final decision is Biden's campaign giving her her dues for her endorsement in the primary.

During the third night of riots, I remember watching Woke, thinking, "Welp...there goes Kamala Harris' nod."
"Btw, don't choose Warren. She's too liberal for my taste. Bye, bye!"
Really hope Biden picks Warren.

can't say it isn't on brand. her and Buttigieg are the fucking worst.
iirc, Harris' numbers have been on the rise since then, even with black voters
need to try and find where i saw that
She's a bastard just like the rest of them, I'll pass.
I would like to formally announce that I am also withdrawing myself from contention for the position
This sounds 2 fold. One she was rejected. Two she was told Biden's likely choices, and she and the Biden campaign agreed to use her withdrawing herself as a signal to who the finalists are.
99% chance it's Harris at this point.
Women of Color - Check
Progressive - Check much as some likes to argue otherwise she's one of the most progressive Dems in the Senate
Like-able personality - Mostly check

well known in the party, woman/poc on the ticket, didn't fuck up too much during the primary would be my guesses
I think given the climate, Harris will probably be more apropos, and I'd be quite happy with that. However, if that is the case, I would still like to see Warren in some kind of effectual position in the admin, esp. something related to ops, infrastructure, healthcare, and such.
because the whole "copmala" thing is bullshit and people outside of twitter/era know it
She wasn't even close to being the front runner. There was a shit storm that she was even being considered.
Klob would've been a choice for a strategy of doubling down on Biden's midwest appeal, but that seems pretty unnecessary at this point. If Biden is in danger of losing Minnesota, then he's already on track to lose several other states that'll cost him the EC anyway.
Its probably just me but the whole copmala seems very racist. When I hear it I hear "She's not really black she's white (cop)" but hey what do I know?
this isn't what i saw last week, but this poll did come out recently:

monmouth polls are rated A+ on 538

it's also a side swipe cause they can't directly attack her legislative career cause she's been mostly progressive.
I thought I read a poll on here a week or two ago that black voters preferred Warren on the whole.this isn't what i saw last week, but this poll did come out recently:

they preferred Warren over Kamala during the primaries for sure
but i think that's shifted a bit
Not all of it, there was some genuine critique of her record. But a LOT of it was low-key racist.
A lot of it was in sync with the "she's half Jamaican and Indian, so she's not REALLY Black" #ADOS bullshit.
Same. I still want Warren. :(
That makes Harris his best bet I guess.
First thought I had too. Centrist dems gonna do what they do tho.
Klobuchar really overestimated her political capital. Didn't win nomination, didnt get VP, couldnt even take her own state in the primaries. In the words of a Minnesotan, oooooofta
That was the case for a while but those numbers have shifted lately. Though also easy to see why: Kamala has been doing a lot of press lately and her profile is growing while Warren's has understandably shrunken since suspending her campaign.
