Biden Vetting Karen Bass as Possible Running Mate
June 23, 2020 at 7:43 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, is undergoing vetting as a candidate to be Joe Biden’s running mate, CBS News reports.

It is not immediately clear where Bass stands in the vetting process but her name has been floated for consideration by powerful Democrats like House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC).

I would be looking around for anyone competent who has NOT had six hundred « it has to be her! » articles written in the MSM about her.

Perhaps Biden will choose a running mate that surprises us all. Those who are too much in the forefront will most likely not be chosen.

No disrespect to Tim Kaine. He's a nice guy, but he wasn't a game changer.
