Klobuchar to be next guest on Biden's podcast

[RandySF]

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) will join former Vice President Joe Biden's (D) podcast in an episode that will air Monday.

Axios reported Sunday evening that the Minnesota senator will become the first 2020 candidate to appear on the podcast, which the former vice president launched in recent weeks as the coronavirus outbreak has made in-person events impossible.

Klobuchar is seen as one of several female Democrats on a list of potential vice presidential picks for Biden, who recently became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic primary following the withdrawal of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

A representative for the Biden campaign did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), another potential VP pick, appeared on the podcast last month.

Klobuchar declined to say whether she would accept a VP offer from Biden during a recent CNN interview, telling Michael Smerconish: "I know one thing for sure, Joe Biden was a great vice president. He knows what it takes to be a good vice president. He's going to make that decision."

1. She would be an outstanding choice.

As would a number of others.

2. I thought that Bernie was already on one of Biden's podcasts

so wouldn't make Amy the second 2020 candidate?

3. Bernie was on a video livestream.

4. So the differentiation

is that Bernie was on a livestream while Amy was on a podcast? Okay.
