I have not heard about it , which doesn’t mean much, sometimes I find it hard to keep up with all the news.

Klobuchar appeared on PBS NewsHour to talk about the virus and the senate actions.

At the end Judy Woodruff said that both Warren and Abrams said they would accept, why shouldn’t she?

Klobuchar talked around it, not committed, but mentioning Adams was news to me.

As a fellow Georgian, I would be very excited if she is our VP candidate.

4. Joe Biden probably sort-of regrets saying he would ask a woman for VP

In light of the COVID 19 pandemic that happened a few days after he stated he would pick a female VP...

It is obvious....Andrew Cuomo is the needed VP Pick...Andrew has a daily, professional COVID 19 Briefing...he is a National Leader and is COVID 19 Leader in the US...He essentially saved many of us already....

He’s busy and at this point has said over and over he likes where he is.

Quit this Andrew Cuomo stuff. He won’t be President or VP. This election cycle.

10. I'm not just concerned about Biden's image or ego; It would strike a discord among voters.

They would not come across as a compatible team. The pair needs to be seen as functioning well together.

I think Cuomo will have his day, if he wants it.

it's weird how people keep saying things like "backed into a corner" on picking a woman.

As if there is no woman out there who is at the top of the best elected leaders in the country. Especially when we have Pelosi and ANgela Merkel . And the other women leaders of the world who have done better dealing with this coronavirus than the men.

The ones who are mostly kicking ass right now and being TRUE LEADERS are mainly women.

And Cuomo gets attention because he is in NY but I would say there are a number of other Governors who have been even better .
