Would Biden pick a female running mate? 'At least 9 women I can think of,' he says.👧😎

Would Biden pick a female running mate? ‘At least 9 women I can think of,’ he has suggested that there a few more women he would mull for the job.

Former Vice President Joe Biden last year floated a handful of women he would consider inviting onto his ticket if he wins the Democratic presidential nomination — a

Campaigning in Osage, Iowa, Biden responded to a question Wednesday about whether he’d consider former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams for the No. 2 post by commenting that he would, adding that there are at least nine women that he would think about, according to a reporter for

Biden also said he would consider women for roles across his administration if he won the presidency



Who has Biden mentioned so far in terms of women he would invite onto a Democratic ticket to face off against President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence in November?

Asked who’d pick as a running mate during an Iowa town hall in November, Biden at first demurred, the Des Moines Register reported.

“I could start naming people but the press will think that’s who I picked,” Biden said, according to the newspaper — but then Biden went on to list “the former assistant attorney general who got fired,” an apparent reference to Sally Yates, as well as “the woman who should have been the governor of Georgia,” alluding to Stacey Abrams, and “the two senators from the state of New Hampshire.”

Those members of Congress are Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, both Democrats and both women.













I trust your judgement in who you pick..

Go Joe...😎

I don't think she wants it. At least she has never shown an interest in politics beyond where she has been.

But wow, that would be something.

Wow, Trump would be rattling his cell door. No Nobel, no second term, impeached in the history books and no twitter to post raging lies.

Just imagine how sweet that would be.

and to be fair it's months from the actual decision.

I doubt his real list, the one in his keen political mind, extends much further on the female side than Sen. Harris or Sen. Klobuchar.

Both are former prosecutors. One is moderate and brings midwest popularity. One brings California, which is to say, California is already in the bag.

So the choice is clear. If a female is his final choice.

Personally, I think there are males available as good choices too. Sen. Booker is in the running, though it would be a mid-Atlantic states' ticket.
