Gov. Whitmer (Michigan) went to Delaware to meet with Biden, presumably to talk about his VP choice.

She has declared racism a public health crisis, which it is, but still not sure if AAs would be fully on board for someone who is not black.

1. I'll be on board regardless

but yeah it'll be a bit of a slap in the face.

He just needs to pick Harris. She leads polls of Dems. She's been vetted. She's capable. I get it, she went after him one time. Let it go. They were friends before, they'll be friends after.

It's the right call but I think too many people want someone they think is more pliable or dare I say it submissive. Instead I think Biden needs a partner who will support him in public but willing to challenge him in private. Just like I'm sure he was with Obama.

3. I agree nt.

7. +1 nt

[MoonRiver]

8. Agree

2. Or, she might be on the list for vetting, for another cabinet post

I'm more than positive that Joe will have all of his 'ducks in a row', so to speak, even before November 3.

6. I know he wants somebody with governing experience, supposedly

She is the only one on the list left with experience governing a state, I think.

9. That's what is going to happen....

Another Cabinet Post. Her "Not being Black" will not have anything to do with that.

Also, a bit disturbed by the Original Post stating something about Gretchen Whitmer "not being Black". Isn't that obvious?

4. Most AA voters are very pragmatic

And the opponent is Trump. I think they’d adapt.

Whitmer is a governor of a state that was crucial to Trump’s victory in 2016. My first choice is still Kamala.

5. Whitmer as VP would give MI its first black governor.

I have a feeling most people will be quite happy with Garlin Gilchrist taking the reins there!!

[LovingA2andMI]

10. Yep!

We would be! Governor Gilchrist sounds great over here to this Michigander! It will likely happen after Whitmer is picked to serve in Biden's Cabinet over a V.P. position but - will likely happen just the same!

[jorgevlorgan]

12. Love the sound of it!!

Either way it means Joe won! Let's hope for that!

[onetexan]

11. "Presumably" is the key word here. The convo could have been for another high position in Joe's

administration. Doesn't necessarily have to be VP. Much as i love Whitmer I don't think she is Joe's likely candidate for VEEP.
