Who should Biden choose as his VP?

I think she'd be a great cabinet pick, Treasury Sec would be good. Only if she wants to leave the Senate anyways though.
Why is everyone so high on Abrams. I dont understand that. Duckworth or Harris are the two best picks.

The VP needs to hit on at least 3 of the 4 for me.
1. Left of Joe
2. POC
3. Younger
4. Woman.
Using those qualifications, and those with some level of national experience. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris would fit that bill for me. As would Val Demmings and Tammy Duckworth. But the last two might be too unknown.

So we're just pretending that Tulsi Gabbard isn't going to sweep this whole election?
Fine, live in your little bubble then.

Sadly, Obama is DQ'd as he's already served two terms as president.
Otherwise, I like Castro as VP.
she was leaning more to the center in the primary, but make no mistake, kamala is definitely a progressive
Why on earth did you exclude Klobuchar? She's got to be at the top of his list - she's a woman and from the midwest, which is the only area of the US that is going to actually matter in the election.
I don't care, I'll never vote for Biden. Gonna write in Warren and I'm encouraging all my Florida friends to do the same
Pressley or Duckworth seem ok. I hope hes not too high on his own wins and extends an olive branch to the left
For the record, a mere three presidential nominees in the last forty years have picked another presidential candidate as their VP (Reagan, Kerry, Obama). Not to say Biden won't, because there's picks that line up with what he needs, like Kamala for instance, but it's normally been a non-candidate choice from the Senate, Governors or more rarely the House, which fills in some gap in their appeal or shores up a demographic they need to win.
In this case, Biden will need someone much younger than him, and experienced in public office because his age means it's more possible than usual that they may have to become president during his term, and whoever it is will be the natural choice to run in 2024 or 2028. Look for at least 3 of these 4:
- Much younger
- Female
- POC
- More left

Julian Castro, get him some experience and exposure. Democratic party needs to start prepping the younger folks too because you can't get older than this primary. Also you're not losing a seat.
Biden's VP should be someone you can picture in the presidency until January 2029.
I don't think so. VP is next in line for the presidency and that office is hard limited to 2 terms.
Biden's VP should definitely be more progressive than him but it should also definitely not be someone in their 70's.
I'd love a progressive, but from the way this is going I won't be shocked if he picks a centrist republican. Having to vote for a Biden/Romney ticket is going to be excruciating and will most likely be the last time I vote for a non-progressive as president even if it means having to vote Green Party and essentially throwing away my vote while voting for the most liberal candidates for the House, Senate and local government. I feel completely ignored by the DNC and if it weren't for there being such a buffoon in power, I would vote for third party now in the general.
Actually I just looked this up and apparently there's nothing that says that a twice-elected president can't be Vice President. Huh. Learned something new today.
I'm sorry you have gotten to a point where you believe this, but it's nonsense and absolutely not going to happen.
