Clyburn: Biden Should Pick An African American Woman For VP
House Majority Whip James Clyburn said he wants former Vice President Joe Biden to choose an African American woman as his running mate if he receives the Democratic nomination.
“I really believe that we’ve reached a point in this country where African American women need to be rewarded for the loyalty that they’ve given to this party,” Clyburn told NPR.
“So I would really be pushing for an African American female to go on the ticket,” Clyburn added.
Clyburn named several African American women politicians who he believes could be potential vice president picks for Biden, including California Sen. Kamala Harris and Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams.
Clyburn also referenced Reps. Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Val Demings of Florida and Karen Bass of California as potential choices, as well as Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

2. Absolutely. She was my candidate and this would be a strong ticket. nt

3. She remains my choice and I think would be an excellent yin/yang pairing for Biden
Biden can be tough, certainly, but he is genial by nature. The role of the VP is to strongly counter the BS from the opposition and Harris would do so without hesitation.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
JOE BIDEN
The way she kicked butt in the primary?

10. Harris comes from a solid blue state
so she doesn’t enhance the ticket on a geographic basis. Plus her record as a prosecutor won’t attract progressives.
Abrams or Val Deming are better choices.

26. All the more reason to pick her.
She DOES balance the ticket geographically. And we wouldn’t risk losing that Senate seat. It’ll stay true-blue. California will choose another Democrat to fill it.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
JOE BIDEN
Um, yeah someone to balance Joe. Be like watching the plate spinner on Ed Sullivan.

30. Yes California will stay true blue
So she doesn't enhance the ticket.
Don't you want to win a swing state like Florida, Virginia or North Carolina? Or would you rather Trump get re-elected?

4. Should add Susan Rice to the list.
If not VP, she should play some role in the administration.
I'm personally partial to Kamala Harris for VP (my dream team Harris-Warren or Warren-Harris), but the article in the OP has lots of great names.
Joe and Val Demings would also make a good team.

Oh hell yes go for someone who is trustworthy.

It’s time for a woman of color to be on the ticket.

8. Seems like it has to be Kamala Harris.
She would bring so much energy and spark to the campaign and she already looks and sounds presidential.

JOE BIDEN
Well there you have it looks like and sounds like. Form over substance is strong with this one.

That's a winning ticket for sure! But...i don't think Mrs. O is interested in running for office, as she said many times.

The most important thing to notice with the Covid-19 virus is that responsible adults
are shutting down institutions and controlling their own states/institutions/environment as best they can. They are completely ignoring Don the Con.
When you cry wolf with your ****ing lies as often as this vile, venal, vicious, virus-hiding monster, all credibility is gone.
**** you and goodbye Don the pee pee Con. Hope you go down with this particular lie - literally and figuratively.

1. Every state and institution now realizes the Fed Govt is too broken to function
They know they're on their own.
And you think this is a news? Keep it small, keep it local. Only you can prevent Big Gov.

2. If he's not going to lead
then it's up to our state leaders to lead. It sounds like some Trumplicker governors are taking their cues from Trumpbo (i.e. DeSantis) but I'm sure it's harder for even them to ignore the reality of what's going on smack dab in front of them.
And I guess Gov. Newsom has switched parties too?
