Who will Biden pick for VP?








This might be the first time in history when the VP pick is expected to hurt the campaign, rather than give it a boost. Biden is already in a safe position to win provided he doesn't screw up between now and November. The VP pick only holds lot of potential pitfalls and not that many benefits. Biden will be criticized if he doesn't pick a minority woman. Yet all the minority women have limited experience and would be open to attacks that they aren't experienced enough to become president.

Harris is probably the safest choice, yet she might alienate those midwestern voters that Biden needs to win back from Trump. A purple state governor like Grisham and Whitmer are also safe choices. I'd be very surprised if he picked Warren or Abrams.

Sarah Palin was a disaster, but that was McCain's own fault, he could've picked anyone. Biden is in a difficult position now, before the pick, because he boxed himself in by promising to pick a woman.

I hope he picks Keisha Bottoms. Vice President Bottoms has a nice ring to it, assuming he wins that is.

Pick the Atlanta Mayor.

No balls.

Really put Georgia into contention (doubt it'd actually do that but hey)

I really hope he doesn't pick Kamala though. She has a lot of baggage

That's what I'm saying, there's no upside to anyone he picks. Usually the VP pick creates a bounce in the polls and lots of positive attention.

They'll probably pick the least controversial candidate.

Though I'm not sure what exactly would hurt him in the polls unless the President turns things around somehow

If Biden picks a woman and loses that will be 3 times a presidential candidate picked a female VP and lost.
