Joe Biden has been hinting at picking a female running mate for vice president for weeks. And during his debate against Bernie Sanders, the Democratic presidential candidate made things official.
“I’ll pick a woman to be vice-president. There are a number of women who are qualified to be president tomorrow,” he said.
Even though Biden has not officially named his female running mate, there are predictions suggesting that he might pick California Senator Kamala Harris or former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
There are also rumors claiming that Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar or Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is still not out of the running.
While speaking The Guardian, the founder of Democracy in Color Steve Phillips said that Biden would have to balance things out.
“He has to balance out who he is. He’s an old white man so logically he should have a young woman of color to balance the ticket out. He will have some strength with some of the white suburban voters but he’s going to need turnout with young people, that was the cornerstone of the Obama-Biden ticket,” he said.
“So, if there’s one thing people are not about Joe Biden, it’s enthusiastic. But if he has someone like a Stacey Abrams on his ticket, the level of enthusiasm there would just be dramatically different,” he added.
Symone Sanders, a senior adviser, said that Biden’s main qualifications for his vice-presidential running mate are for someone who is simpatico with him, as well as someone that he works along with well. Sanders previously stressed that Biden’s running mate will be a woman.
Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders also confirmed that he will pick a female running mate for vice president.
“In all likelihood, I will. For me, it’s not just nominating a woman, it is making sure that we have a progressive woman and there are progressive women out there. So my very strong tendency is to move in that direction,” he said.
