(1,701 posts)5. I think it will be Biden/Klobuchar
Totally makes sense.
Secures MN (a battleground state heavily target by Trump), reinforces the win in MI, WI, and PA. Likely helps swing AZ, FL, and NC. And adds to the coat-tails for down-ballot races nationwide. Job one, we need to win.
Job two, we need to pass legislation. Klobuchar has a fantastic track record of moving bills through Congress. She's done it, And has the skills to keep that going. No one comes close, in my estimation.
Job 3. Biden needs a VP that he can trust and who will be a true partner. Both on a personal level and he someone he can trust to take on big projects. Amy again is the natural choice.
Any VP pick must meet these 3 tests in my estimation. None does so like Klobuchar IMO.
If I were to vote in a presidential

Newsom makes more sense if Warren is at the top of the ticket - not Biden.

Biden could scarcely be more popular with African Americans. He would help her popularity.
