Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) is among the women under consideration to be former Vice President Biden's running mate, according to a new report.

Politico reported on Monday that Bottoms, along with Florida Rep. Val Demings (D), are under consideration for the Democratic ticket.

Bottoms has garnered national attention amid the coronavirus pandemic, notably criticizing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) for being one of the first states to reopen.

She actually had common sense through COVID and the protest. One of the few Dem mayors to do so.

I guess no one is polling well. They are insane. I think Biden will pick Mrs. Butterworth next week.

They would be stupid not to vet her. I would almost love to see her picked just to see the look on Stacy Abrams face.

Val Demmings could be a legit contender. Centrist Democrat.

She did. I read her speech. She told everyone to go home.

I don’t think doubling down on impeachment, where she was a House manager (prosecutor) is their best plan.

If the only prerequisite is having a pussy, he should pick Drew Brees.

I think Bottoms would ultimately be something of a dull pick, but that might be a good thing. She's relatively inoffensive. She takes the typical Dem-mayor stances on ICE and the like, but doesn't spend too much time appealing to the crazies.

I don't think she's really got the chops for national politics right now, but she might not need them. Obviously Pence would have a huge substantive edge on foreign policy, national entitlements, tax policy, etc.

“Biden Bottoms” ticket would be a meme factory.

I predicted this after her speech last week.

I don’t see her as a great pick but, given the criteria Biden has laid out for a VP, she is their least disastrous choice I see.
