Biden campaign vetting Congressional Black Caucus chair Karen Bass as potential running mate
Congressional Black Caucus Chair Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) is being vetted by former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign to potentially serve as his running mate, according to CBS News.
The outlet, which cited unnamed sources, reported that it is not clear where the five-term lawmaker stands in the vetting process.
Bass is sponsoring historic legislation in the House to reform police practices. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee last week advanced the legislation that would ban police chokeholds, mandate body cameras, make lynching a federal crime, prohibit no-knock warrants in drug cases, and establish a federal registry of officers accused of misconduct.
The legislation comes amid nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd. Floyd died last month after a former Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes during an arrest.
