(974 posts)V.P has more status, but SCOTUS is a lot more important.
jorgevlorgan
(8,277 posts)I think I could get behind that

(974 posts)I also predicted Carter when he first announced, when no one had heard of him.

(32,017 posts)Thats why I think he will choose Karen Bass.

(974 posts)That's not a criticism, there is a lot to be said for being cautious. But I think he will make the safest choice.

(32,017 posts)Shes a proven legislator and leader (Speaker of the California Assembly and Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus). Shes a die-hard liberal (appeasing Joes left flank). Shes quiet but effectivevery little baggage and a solid, working track record. She wont upstage Joe (because shes a quiet, behind-the-scenes hard worker). Shes an African-American woman, and that will help election turn-out. Shes not a prosecutor, and that means shes not tainted by George Floyds death in a BLM year.
Shes Joes best choice, I think. All it comes down to, now, is whether or not Joe gets along with her. That I do not know.

(16,291 posts)We shall see.

(182,591 posts)At this point if he doesnt pick an AA woman a lot of people will be very disappointed.
Harris plays very well on TV. Sorry if that seems crude but hey.
Rice is super impressive in every respect. Shes the best pick but I do think it will be Harris.
Duckworth? Just dont see it happening.

(63,221 posts)elected officials, especially president, is dragged out for way too long. It's just exhausting.

(9,714 posts)If the process were conducted in private, you'd hear never-ending howls of "smoke-filled rooms," "secrecy," "cabals," etc. The process never has been pretty; probably it never will be. Here's hoping it won't be too damaging!
Raine
(30,540 posts)I've reached the point that I don't know and I don't care.

(974 posts)of Duckworth. Plus her veteran status will play well in Texas, Georgia, and Florida.
mercuryblues
(14,521 posts)with Duckworth as the spoiler.
Any of those 3 are A-OK with me.
Trumpocalypse
(6,143 posts)someone else?
El Supremo
(20,365 posts)As Cactus Jack Garner said. Who cares? It's a pointless job unless Biden dies in office.
Delarage
(2,186 posts)But I like the idea of her on the Supreme Court and I'd vote for whoever he picks. We have so many good people on our side that we will have a tremendous administration full of good, qualified people. Unlike right now.
judeling
(1,086 posts)I figured Rice from the moment Klobuchar pulled out.
They were the two with the closest long term working relationship and if they were on the list they have already passed Biden's stated tests.
The Bass, Harris California infighting has hurt both.
