CNN: Bass, Harris and Rice are the top three VP contenders.

[RandySF]

CNN: “Biden allies and others close to the vice presidential vetting process said California Rep. Karen Bass, the 66-year-old chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, has gained real traction in the late stage of the search. Amid furious last-minute lobbying and speculation about Biden’s historic decision, California Sen. Kamala Harris and Susan Rice, Barack Obama’s former national security adviser, are also believed to be among the most serious contenders.”

“Biden’s team has yet to tell any of the women they’ve considered in earnest for the vice presidential role that they are officially out of the running, with one source saying 11 women are still formally being considered.”

1. wasnt the decision supposed to be made by 8/1

or am I confusing that?

I seem to recall that date being a self-imposed deadline.

[Claustrum]

2. I think Biden said first week of August but no specific date n/t

[RT Atlanta]

4. thank you and to the other poster for clarifying

better days are ahead for our country!

[MoonRiver]

3. I think Biden said the first week of August, but could be wrong.

5. I think it will be Senator Harris.

[Bleacher Creature]

6. Yes, yes, and yes.

I'd be over the moon with any of those names!

[qazplm135]

7. I find it unlikely

He would say the decision is being announced next week, if the selection hadn't already been made... whomever it is.

[LexVegas]

8. Prefer Harris, but any of the 3 would be a great pick. nt

[demosincebirth]

9. Rice would be perfect!

[Johonny]

14. Given Benghazi, the GOPers would just about stroke out if she was picked

Which would be enjoyable for all.

[SoonerPride]

10. I trust Joe and will enthusiastically support anyone he names!

[Demsrule86]

11. I do not think any of the above are the best choices...Tammy Duckworth or

Val Demmings.

[StevieM]

12. I hope he picks Susan Rice. (eom)

[2naSalit]

15. +1

[Sneederbunk]

13. If the VP candidate is not a woman of color, there will be division in the Party.

[Demsrule86]

16. No there won't...only thing we need is to beat Trump...so stop with this.

[obamanut2012]

18. Harris, Rice, Bass, and Duckworth are in the running

They are THE top four, All are WOC. All are qualified.

My first pick is Duckworth, then Bass.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. That's too bad. I worry Rice will make the election way closer than it needs to be.

So, I hope he picks Harris out of the bunch.

[BGBD]

19. The choice is made

I'm sure of it. At this point anything coming out is smoke.

[Paladin]

20. I remain a Harris supporter. Rice would be a gift to the Republicans. (nt)
