to pick an African American for his running mate due to the current political climate. She was born in Thailand which I'm sure Conservatives will make a big deal of and some may even nitpick her accent. But the last time Biden decided to run with an Illinois senator who lived in Hawaii, it worked out ok for him.

Governor Pritzker will do well replacing her if she goes to the WH. nt Progressive Jones Jun 2020 #23

She sure would, I would hope Joe Biden understands how much she can do! Unrepentant Fenian Jun 2020 #21

I would be sad to lose one of our two OUTSTANDING Senators... dixiechiken1 Jun 2020 #17
