Showing Original Post only (View all)Who do you want Biden to pick for Veep? [View all]
On Tuesday, Joe Biden set off a new wave of speculation about his running mate when cameras captured his handwritten talking points about Kamala Harris (Do not hold grudges; Campaigned with me & Jill; Talented; Great help to campaign; Great respect for her). What that means for the senators chances is unclear, but we should know soon; Biden also confirmed that he will announce his vice-presidential pick during the first week in August. So we are in the short rows for this long-anticipated event and can now present the main prospects for the last time, with their pros and cons. Unless noted otherwise, the order of this listing is my own ranking of likelihood, and with that and five bucks you can get a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

I have a few I like more than others, but I really don't care all that much...

Once again-- I DON'T CARE. It's Joe's choice, and I'm good with any of them.

I think whoever the pick is will be met with "concern" by Biden opponents
