Here's Who Voters Think Joe Biden Should Pick as His Vice President

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden plans to announce the members of the committee that will help him select his vice presidential running mate by May 1, but voters are already weighing in with their perspective.

New polling by YouGov and The Economist, which was conducted from April 26 to 28, found that Democratic voters are split between several potential vice presidential candidates. However, progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who previously was running for the Democratic presidential nomination, leads the pack with more than a quarter of Democratic voters seeing her as the best choice for Biden.

Warren was backed by 26 percent of Democratic respondents, while Biden's other former rival for the Democratic nomination, Senator Kamala Harris of California, came in second with support from 18 percent of the party's voters. Stacey Abrams, who ran unsuccessfully to become Georgia's governor in 2018, came in third with 12 percent, and Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who also previously sought the Democratic presidential nomination, came in fourth with 11 percent.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was backed by 3 percent of Democratic voters, while Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin was supported by 2 percent. All of the lawmakers included in the poll have endorsed Biden and have been widely speculated to be under consideration to join the former vice president's ticket. Biden has previously committed to selecting a woman to be his running mate.

1. Warren for the same reason I was glad when Biden and gore were chosen as vps.

2. Don't know if he will pick her

but they would make a good contrast. If he is looking for someone that fights for his policies though she is a lot more progressive.

3. I hope no primary candidate.

[Bettie]

7. Why?

Just curious.

[LakeArenal]

10. I run into trouble when I explain why...

I want no one who had any part in the railroading of Al Franken.

That would leave Amy Klobuchar as the only possibility for me.

I love Amy, I just find it easier to say no primary VP.

Edit to add: I don’t want to give ammunition against Joe that one of his primary rivals brought to the campaign.

4. Warren isn't a good choice.

She's been at odds with Joe on too many occasions. I don't think their differences can be papered over.

12. ++++++++

5. I love Warren and had her as my pick for pres. However...

As a senator, we lose that seat with Republican Governor of Massachusetts.
Hurts me no end.
Guess we have to turn the senate without her!

6. I lean toward Kamala Harris

But I also want her for AG so she can make more republicans blubber like Kavanaugh.

8. I would choose Harris.

She is brilliant and funny. She is from a blue state so the Senate seat is safe. OTOH, there has been talk about Duckworth, and she is pretty amazing. Also, she is from a blue state, again her seat is safe. Warren was my first pick for President, but she and Biden are both from the East. That won’t work. Then there is Stacey. I think she is awesome, but I worry there isn’t enough experience. She will ultimately go places, regardless. I think Klobuchar is a safe middle road pick, which is why I wouldn’t pick her. We need to move a bit left.

11. I tend to agree.

We have to trust Joe, but Kamala seems to fill all the boxes.

[Budi]

9. I'll trust Joe Biden on this one.

[kcr]

13. I think he's going to pick her.

She's the one voters want, and she's the clear choice for VP.

14. Makes sense

Warren has a big lead - she’s amazing and would be the best choice!
