LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer traveled to Delaware last weekend to meet with Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee’s first known in-person session with a potential running mate as he nears a decision.

Whitmer visited Biden last Sunday, according to two high-ranking Michigan Democrats who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The first-term governor of the battleground state has long been on his short list of possible running mates.

Flight records show a chartered flight left Lansing’s Capital Region International Airport for Delaware Coastal Airport at 5:33 p.m. and returned at 11:16 p.m.
The governor’s office declined to confirm or deny the trip.

“We don’t discuss her personal schedule,” spokeswoman Tiffany Brown said.

Biden’s campaign declined to comment.

4. Maybe it is just let her know that she is being considered for something else

and defuse possible disappointment.
Tea leaves are awfully hard to read.

5. Kamala could have driven to Delaware from DC

There wouldn’t necessarily be a record of that

7. I feel like not selecting a strong Black woman as his running mate will be a mistake.

Joe is already going to appeal to the average white Joe. We need diversity!!

8. Michigan Is So Out Of Hand Right Now That Trump Is Rumored To Be Pulling Out

So if he's picking her just to ensure that he wins Michigan, he's wasting his time. Michigan is all but in the bag. I just feel like the strategically wise choice is Harris.
