For a candidate challenging an incumbent U.S. president, Joe Biden doesn’t appear to be doing very much. Online speeches, an event down the street from his Delaware basement studio, media interviews via Zoom. [Snip] But you can bet that off-camera, Biden’s hand-picked search team is intensely vetting a shrinking list of female vice-presidential partners, the alleged winner to be announced early next month. Such carefully staged human unveilings

FTA: "Sen. Kamala Harris of California is the consensus guess of outsiders."
Henceforth, Hotox Harris.

I really want the Georgia train wreck (Stacy A) - even Joe isn't that stupid - but I can wish can't I?

I'm telling you right now -- Michelle "Ma Belle" O. It would be the best challenge the 'Rats could mount. It pulls in the minority voters and the chicks.

John Kasich would be a good pick. He is kind of girlish, you must admit. Plus he has the requisite dislike and envy for President Trump.

I'm suspecting they're letting the suspense build up for Mooch. I'm hoping that the last thing she wants is to lose as Joe's VP and will duck it until 2024.
Obamas of any sort could not resist the urge to stick it to Hillary!!! with the first black woman American president.

My money is on the PIAPS with the proviso that she’ll be able to affect the 25th amendment and take over on or right before February 1st.

I'm with #4 and #6.
The Mooch.
Higher negatives than PIAPS.
She doesn't like the USA.
Perfect pick.

I believe M.O. when she says she doesn't want the job. Granted, she'd just turn it over to Barack but still....Michelle never struck me as being hard working. She worked harder while First Lady than ever in her life. Barry's not hard working either. Being president in these times is very intense. Michelle lives a life better than many Queens and Crowned Princesses. She has no responsibilities and no one to please all while living in the greatest of luxury. Why give that up?

History? They are trashing our history so surely they are not going to follow it. No they will likely repeat every mistake ever made.

Kamala Harris gives me the creeps. There is something evil to the core about her. She is devious. A phony through and through. I cannot imagine Kamala Harris becoming Vice President of the United States except by means of massive voter fraud. Obama did great harm to the U.S., much of which seemed to be intentional. Kamala Harris would do far greater harm, perhaps irreparable harm.

The Commie-crats don't care about history. They are history revisionists. They might be waiting to announce the VP, because it's Barack Obama.

Poor McClatchey - - irrelevant leftist propaganda outlet - - desperate for readership - - they think a Biden VP story will attract attention.
Well - - at least it did cause someone to post it here.

I hope it's Kamala. After her recent face-stretch both she and botox Biden look like their faces are covered with flesh-colored pantyhose---only they're waiting to rob the taxpayers, not a bank.

Will Biden get to pick or will Barack Obama and certain so-called Democrat Super Delegates make that call?

PIAPS wants the power any way she can get it. If she is Joe's VP, she won't be VP for long. (Inauguration at noon and state funeral at 5pm)
What about Meghan Markle? She wants to be relevant. she knows how to pose pretty for the cameras.

It really doesn't matter. Plugs is toast as well as whomever he selects as a running mate. Trump in a Landslide, House reverts to Conservative Republican control, and the Senate picks up 3 or 4 seats. Take it to the bank. MAGA/KAG

VP is irrelevent. Who runs the VP is they key as they'll be in the big chair should Biden pull one out of his arse. Obama, ValJar, Axelrod, are they key peeps.
Moochelle would benefit the ticket, but she wouldn't want the responsibility, or the bs and it would be an especially bad look if she stepped down, after Biden exits.
Control of the big house, however, by any means necessary is all that matters for Ds. I expect Moochelle will step in as late as possible to minimize any campaigning.

I thought Crazy, Old Joe was going to pick an African American. Kamalala is neither.

If history is the best guide, sounds like he's going to pick an old White man.

Dementia Joe will forget whoever it is anyway. If he wins, they'll have to put a name tag in the hair of his VP so he can read it when he sniffs her hair.

Jimmy carter picked Mondale and set the tradition of weekly lunches (Thursday). All potus have followed that tradition. Sleepy will want someone he knows and is comfy with......pocohantas is my bet.

I don't, ya know, need no stinkin' vice president. I can run this place all by myself, like Obama did, ya know, the articulate good lookin' colored guy with the crease in his trousers. Now get off my back, ya dog-faced pony soldier!

In a recent basement meeting, Joe asked, "what's a running mate?"
