With his lead, Joe Biden is inching closer to becoming the Democratic Party’s nominee for the 2020 Presidential elections. But party leaders are looking for a running mate that has enough influence to unify the party as Biden battles against President Donald Trump, someone like the former FLOTUS Michelle Obama.
Some people within the party believe that Biden could increase his chances of winning if he chooses a woman for his running mate. “I doubt very seriously you’ll see a Democratic slate this year without a woman on it,” Jim Clyburn recently told reported, according to Yahoo News. “I would love for it to be a person of color.”
Valeria Jarrett, former President Barack Obama’s senior adviser for eight years, echoes Clyburn’s sentiment. She told CBS News that the nominee should “break with conventional wisdom and announce a running mate that’s a woman of color.”
Unfortunately, Jarrett was cut off before she could say the name of the woman that would be perfect as Biden’s running mate. But being very close to the Obamas, many believe that she could only be referring to Michelle Obama when she described “a woman of color.”
Jarrett knew Michelle Obama way before the latter became the FLOTUS. As the deputy chief of staff of Chicago mayor Richard Daley, it was she who interviewed Michelle in 1991 for a job.
“She exuded competence, as well as character and integrity,” Jarrett commented on her impression of Michelle based on that job interview. It was her who introduced the Obamas to Chicago’s elites, which marked the start of the couple’s rise to the White House.
Voters in California already expressed their desire to have a female vice-presidential nominee based on the results of a poll conducted by Stanford’s Hoover Institution last month. Thirty-one percent of the respondents wanted Michelle Obama to be the VP nominee, followed by California’s Senator Kamala Harris at 19 percent, Minnesota’s Senator Amy Klobuchar at 18 percent, and former Georgia state legislator Stacy Abrams at 13 percent.
While Michelle has long expressed disinterest in running for public office, it might not be out of the question if President Donald Trump is involved. “But if Trump were to win a second term, he would complete his self-proclaimed task of dismantling everything Obama had done,” a source told National Review. “If the way to guarantee that wouldn’t happen involved Michelle running, it’s not out of the question.”
