Yeah, Susan Benghazi Rice would be the ideal VP pick.

There have been several Benghazi GOP investigations...all of them showed Rice did nothing wrong. She read talking points from the CIA that were inaccurate. Watch her during the interviews she is more than capable of dispelling the Benghazi “issue” and does Trump really want to discuss liars?

Trump will try to (wrongly) portray her as a warmongering neoliberal.

Willie Brown’s article about Kamala as VP is a smoke signal: she’s out of the running. It also means Biden has probably notified his choice and the announcement is imminent.

Let’s hope so . Harris would be a terrible choice.

Biden told Fox News that he has made his choice.

It’s pretty bizarre that you deny the horrific systematic gender bias in this country, including against white women. Your valuable vomit aside, you sound like an entitled millennial who would choose any excuse to sleep on mommy’s free couch and not vote anyway, so...

Well, no. He's choosing a woman, so that battle was won. There. is. no. reason. for. him. to. choose. a. white. woman. in. these. circumstances. with. everything. that. is. going. on.

Oh, millennial. It’s hard to respond to such ignorance. What battle was won exactly? Gender inequality? Mommy’s couch is calling and they have a babysitter’s club remake on Netflix. Tuck in! There.is.no.reason.to.discriminate.against.a.woman.based.on.the.color.of.her.skin.now.or.ever. Harris and Whitmer are pretty much equally qualified. I would be happy with either of these diverse, accomplished candidates.

Whitmer does not bring racial diversity to the ticket. What’s your fixation on her? Why not Warren? Why not Klobuchar? But no. We need an African American woman. And it’s weird, boomer or genx fogey, that you would attack the Babysitter’s Club, which, in its current form, carries a diverse, feminist message.

Then that takes Harris out of the running.

Did it also take Barack Obama out of the history books?

Shut up.

+1. I can not stand rich foreign stock hijacking the Black American struggle. Kamala is of rich, educated and privileged Indian/Jamaican stock — NOT African American slave and Jim Crow stock.

So he has to pick a black woman? That’s so insanely stupid that I can’t even respond.

There seems to be a trend where progressives go after members of their own party. AOC has certainly done this with some success. This is also happening in cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Minneapolis, among others, on social justice issues. Plus, there seems to be a lot of that going on in the above posts.

While Whitmer is best known for her seemingly stellar COVID response, she was a prosecutor for six months and also has been indecisive on the defund the police question from the perspective of protesters in her state. There is a chance that progressive protesters will turn on Whitmer if she is picked as VP to put pressure on her to adopt policies that could hurt a Biden-Whitmer ticket nationally.

It is far safer to go with Susan Rice. She has no record to attack on law enforcement issues. She will get attacked on foreign policy, but by Republicans not her own party.

Publicly he isn't supporting any one candidate, privately these the two articles indicate it's a different story. And who cares about Judy Chu's ethnicity? The people championing Bass stress legislative chops, coalition support, trustworthiness, and Black turnout.

There was a campaign event with Biden, Bass, Clyburn, and Richmond scheduled for July 30 but I can't find any info about it. I will say the Biden campaign is doing a terrible job publicizing their events. I have trouble finding them and never can seem to get advance notice.

Found it. Big dollar fundraiser, so I couldn't have watched it anyway!

I wish they’d release clips from these so we’d be able to get a sense of chemistry.

Neither was Obama yet he still became our first Black president.

Interesting! Unless they have phenomenal chemistry doubt he picks her, but he does seem to like the governors.

Many white women grew up in poor families. We resent when other people throw around the word white privilege.

Then you misunderstand the term white privilege. Just because you were poor does not mean you did not grow up with privilege due to your skin color. Poor blacks faced many of the same challenges poor whites faced but also had to deal with racial profiling from police, store security, and systemic issues. Poor blacks often face discrimination based on their names or the dialectic way that they speak. It has been shown that resumes with black styled names receive less attention and weaker receptions than resumes with the same credentials but more common names. Likewise even when it comes to hourly jobs in low skilled positions like fast food, retail, clerking, shipping, driving, delivery, etc that poor whites have an easier time on getting hired than poor whites. Blacks make about 73 cents on the dollar compared to white counterparts. It is not unusual for blacks to be making minimum wage and white counterparts doing the same work with the same level of experience to earn higher wages. Poor blacks can be treated differently and more harshly by business security (e.g. being followed in stores, being stopped and searched before exiting a store), and law enforcement (pulled over for driving while black, stopped and treated more harshly such as roughed up, handcuffed, thrown on the ground, bound in uncomfortable or debilitating positions, incarcerated and so on) for the same offenses or accusations.

There are many other instances where poor whites still have a systemic racial advantage to poor blacks in like situations, based solely on race. That is white privilege.

Okay, Oprah.

So I guess you'll be marching in the street if he dares to choose a white woman? Good grief.
