I certainly agree with this, but I do think that this event is one reason Biden won’t bring in a stormy petrel. Back in April, when I was asked in another thread who I liked among the VP picks I mentioned Tammy Duckworth (though mainly for reasons unconnected to her politics), and I’ve been amused to see her creep into the list of potential VPs, but I’ll be surprised to see her chosen, as she’s very outspoken and independent.
I’m curious who people here like among the potentials. I know Abrams has strong support, but honestly I really do believe she’s not in the running. Warren has the advantage that she’s incredibly competent and ready to become president immediately if Biden croaks in February, but I think Biden really does want a woman of color as his running mate, so she is low odds. Meanwhile, there are all those other candidates, and the reactions I see here to them are mainly either negative or “who’s that?”
