In reply to the discussion: Why Biden will choose Susan Rice as VP? [View all]2naSalit
(102,166 posts)12. And she has a
good working relationship with Biden, has for years. Her relationship with Joe is much like the one Joe shares with Pres. Obama and I think that's what he'd be most comfortable with.
Aside from all her professional qualifications, that is important too. It takes a special kind of person, as we saw with Amb. Marie Yovanovitch, to be a top level Ambassador as Susan Rice was as well as NS Advisor.
Her demeanor is calm and professional, well reasoned and reasonable.
I hope he chooses her.

I think Rice is excellent, but I don't think she has the charisma of Kamala, Warren or Stacey.
