Dr. Jill Biden gave a clue

[question everything]

On PBS NewsHour, a long interview with Judy Woodruff, she said they were looking at experience in governing:

Well, I think that it's really important that — trust is important to us, and I guess experience, wisdom, the things you would want someone — he needs a partner in governing and someone who knows has to govern and has the experience.

So, I love all the — I mean, the women that are candidates now, each and every one of them would bring something really special and unique to the ticket. So it's been really hard to look at each one and think, oh, my gosh, wouldn't she be wonderful, or wouldn't she be wonderful? It's a really tough choice, Judy.

Not sure what it means. A governor? a mayor? I would love Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms

1. After I supported Joe for our nomination I was all in and I'll support whoever is chosen to run

with him. I haven't been disappointed in our people yet...

[JI7]

2. What's the clue ? Those things seem to general and can apply

to all if his choices. They wouldn't be in consideration unless he thought they would be ready to be president.

[Mosby]

3. "trust is important to us..."

that's the clue, imo.

[JI7]

5. doesn't really say anything. I remember I was able to tell Obama

was going to pick Biden becsuse he they gave more specific clues.

Of course anyone will want someone they can trust.

[ucrdem]

12. There might be one they trust more than the others

or less. And therein lies the rub I think.

[JI7]

13. maybe, but I think some are assuming things about how

Biden feels about certain choices.

[ucrdem]

15. It could be Jill who has the strong feelings in this case.

I don't blame her one bit.

4. With Biden, it might be a former senator

who would know how to be a president of the senate. That's the experience he brought to the job.

[blm]

6. There's a unique person in DC today who has actually built a govt agency

from her original idea and plans to the details of its infrastructure. Planned it and executed it into existence. Very rare in government.

But, it’s fair to guess a governor, too. They are all smart so anyone
who passes vetting is fine with me.

8. Brilliant teacher, too.

Imagine what might be with a White House Action Officer who would put emphasis on “Action!”

[Sugarcoated]

14. Who on this list is a former senator?

[hedda_foil]

7. Don't rule out Senator Warren who clearly is most able to be a governing partner.

Yes, I'm aware she's white.

[Demsrule86]

9. Nope...she has a GOP governor...and I don't believe the governor will appoint a Democrat.

[delisen]

10. Fast election replacement process in MA but many rich Dem donors oppose Warren

[question everything]

16. I kinda remember Ted Kennedy not stepping down, waiting for a law to pass to elect, not appoint

a replacement.

[Happy Hoosier]

11. An all white Ticket? Not this cycle. NT

[democrattotheend]

17. I read that she has support from some black leaders

And polls very well among black voters for VP as well. I wonder if her work fighting the banks, who disgustingly preyed on minority communities with subprime loans, has earned her some cred in the black community? OTOH, she didn't do that well among minority voters in her own primary campaign, so IDK.
