Had no chance of being picked

quote:

Sen. Amy Klobuchar announced Thursday she was removing herself as a candidate to be former Vice President Joe Biden’s vice presidential pick.

Klobuchar told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell she called Biden Wednesday evening with her decision, saying she believes “this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket."

Biden pledged earlier this year to pick a woman to be his running mate as is currently considering about a half dozen candidates, including several women of color.

Knowing that his VP is guaranteed to be POTUS probably sooner than later, having a woman of color probably hurts him rather than helps, and additional votes it garners will be in states that are already locked for the Democratic candidates.

So....she doesn’t think that a woman of color has the credentials to be picked over her, so she has to drop out and make room. How very racist of her.

I’m sure being in a system that let Chauvin off the hook several other times was the real reason why.

She was my predicted pick for VP for a LONG time. The MN thing ended her chances because of her background in prosecution. I think she fell behind the Michigan Gov for a while until the Mich Gov blew herself up.

If noting changes between now and Nov, I think Biden will pick a black woman as VP running mate. He needs excitement unamong the black voters to get out and vote.

And if nothing changes Biden will likely win, and he may not make it through Term 1. So, who he picks has a very good chance of being President within four years.
