She would be a fantastic pick. No one can say she's inexperienced.

[Gormwood]

If it wasn't for the pandemic the SNL skit on the VP race would be a riot. Maya Rudolph is a hilarious Harris.

[Zurkerx]

So Hillary Clinton announced Tim Kaine as her running mate on July 22, 2016

It is now July 22, 2020

Nope , we won't hear from Biden on his running mate, at least, not today. I think the earliest will be August 1st, and that's if we're lucky on that day

My Money is on Bass. It’s always the least one you expect

She would be a fantastic pick. No one can say she's inexperienced.

And she's also a Progressive and Black, so Biden would be checking off a good amount of boxes. Sure, her age (66) and her not coming from a swing State may seem like turnoffs, but she's overall a well-rounded figure.

Tough to say but yeah, usually it's the person we least expect. She be one of the better options, of course.

Why would not coming from a swing state be a turnoff? Having a black woman on the ticket would likely drive black turnout to 2008 levels and she would likely help with youth turnout as well.

People put their money on Michelle Obama?

Yeah, people bet on unlikely things because if they pay out, they'll pay out a shitload. Sometimes the horse, team, or potential vice-presidential nominee that's 1000:1 wins.

It’s incredible to think Klobuchar would have been at least number three on there had the killing of George Floyd, and following unrest not happened

[Juristonia]

The GOP rage if he went with Susan Rice would be pretty funny.

Yeah that seems really odd, like, I get people saying they’ll vote for her for the lolz, but actually betting on it is a bad idea

It's only a bad idea if you lose!















Which you definitely would, but still.

Depends how much you bet.

I hadn’t heard of her until this election, what did she do before?

She was Obama's Ambassador to the United Nations and later became his National Security Advisor.

Never underestimate a bookie's ability to hustle fools.

Can confirm, work in one.

Why would not coming from a swing state be a turnoff? Having a black woman on the ticket would likely drive black turnout to 2008 levels and she would likely help with youth turnout as well.

Repeatability would be one reason, especially in a key area called the Rust Belt though this factor is not as large as it was back in March. No candidate he picks will be perfect. However, he's likely going to pick someone that emulates him when he was VP: loyal, hard working, strong bond, and ready to lead if something happens to Biden.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Sorry guys its me, im the vice president candidate.

Official announcement.

Me and the Bidenator 8000 are gonna take it to em

I second all of that and whomever he picks is likely going to be the nominee in 2024 or 2028 should he be victorious and if he runs for a second term which I’ve heard rumors he might not

Ben Ghazi

Almost makes me wish there was an actual Ben Ghazi who was a senator or governor or something.

Joe Biden-Ben Ghazi

Would Fox peddle rumors of an affair between Hillary and Ben Ghazi?

Getting a little down In the weeds but there has been a massive upset in New York. 47 year incumbent assemblymen Joe Lentol has lost his primary to Emily Gallagher. The district contains the Greenpoint neighborhood in Brooklyn. No republican filed to run in this ultra blue district

Six other members of the assembly lost their primaries.

Better not call his other representative friend from Cyrenaica, Dobb Bruck or his Tripolitanian buddy Miz Ratah.
