Nothing other than my opinion, but I believe the reason Biden appointed a committee to 'select' his VP running mate is for cover. None of these people improve, in a net sense, his chances of winning.

The committee will select someone else, not on the original list, that people can see being president. Meanwhile Biden can profess his faith in the process, the outstanding people of the committee and praising all of the women on the original list.

Perfect politics. Give the task and therefore the responsibility and possible blame to someone else, while praising, deflecting and moving on with the urgency of saving America. All runners up, please gracefully exit stage left.

Political considerations might play a roll in Trump's VP pick? Wow! Truly an amazing insight.

IDk she has alot of great ideas for criminal justice reform. Like decriminalizing sex work. Could lead to huge crminal just reform of crimes are only of those that involve a victim or property.

Not sure where else her political stances are, but that was the one that stood out the most.

I think Klobuchar is done and Val Demings has to be seen as a major player. I think Elizabeth Warren is in the mix to some extent but she is too close to Biden and Trump in age and does not really move a swing vote. Keisha Lance Bottoms has also come onto the scene but does not have quite enough experience.

Abrams was always a non-starter since her highest office held was State Rep and she did not carry the state on her own.

I'm sure that decriminalizing sex work will be a huge issue in this election. It will drive millions to the polls.

Is Val Demings more moderate than Kamala Harris? IMO, it's gonna be a toss up between the two. NO to Abrams: just NO!

Stacy Abrams has not been contacted by the Biden team for ANY vetting. Not even basic questions. Abrams probably is out.

Senator Klobuchar, Rep Demings and Gov Whitmer already began vetting Q and A with Biden's campaign.

Stacey Abrams says she hasn't heard from Biden campaign about VP search
