    yes, she was part of his administration both terms and often in the headlines. very bright and very well spoken candidate that checks a bunch of the boxes.
    edit almost willing to bet that if biden wins he will announce that he won't seek a second term paving the way for the vice president whom ever she may be.

    There was a song that someone a long long time ago told me was sung by Abraham Lincoln.

    Does Biden have to pick an African American running mate now? Does the riots change his search?

    Saw ABMs post above. I think Klobuchar is definitely out.

    I believe that Harris has a bad track record as a prosecutor with black males in California. Could be a liability

    Which would leave Stacey Abrahms?

    While Abrams would undoubtedly energize the left, especially the African American community, I don't think she has enough experience.

    She'll be facing off with Mike Pence who works for a guy with ZERO experience...She's more qualified than Trump or Pence...I just think they'll go with Harris for photogenic reasons.

    I know, the left has made it ok to fat shame and judge the physical appearance of the the President, which opens up that kind of criticism for Abrahms.

    Harris, on the other hand, is an attractive woman who you can imagine sucking you off for votes.

    well Trump gets more flak for his combover than his morbidly obese belly but now that you mention it....he's the first fat president in the modern age of presidents....it's the fat between his brain and skull that I worry about the most

    From what I've read, and seen on youtube, Abrams has built her career compromising with Republicans. Some people will like that, and some won't care simply because she checks two demographic boxes. Her self promotion is off putting. There really aren't any consequences to voting third party in Oregon so that's what I'm gonna do. Oooh I'm such a rebel.

    I heard Joe say yesterday while being interviewed that he’s committed to a women but color isn’t the only criteria. He said people of color would be on his cabinet and nominations for SCS.
    He could select a Hispanic gal? Or he could also go with EW as she has the experience to step in as President plus she can tutor Joe on progressive movement as well as a mediator with progressive’s.
    She is my long shot

    Find the best female, black, police chief/leader and put her in charge of completely revamping the justice/police system.

    Then that person shouldn't be VP. A VP has other duties and responsibilities.

    With as old as Biden is a VP should be more of a shadow president, ready to seamlessly step in needed. Tasking the VP with only one (very important) thing would hinder that.

    A VP should oversee and help such a person, not be that person.

    I'd still like to see him pick Cory Booker.
    I'd pick Kamala Harris as Attorney General.
    Several of the other leading candidates would get cabinet appointments.
