He was the favorite; but the point is it was a panic move b/c he didn't want to lose his edge and he wanted to dominate the headline of the debate. That headline made the debate rather secondary.

Just another race baiting like 44.
It doesn't make sense that it was a panic move because he knew he had a nearly insurmountable lead. Seems more to me that he actually believes a woman should be on the ticket and that he was positioning himself for the general election.
FYI Val Demings record as the Orlando chief of police is far from spotless. Plenty of excessive force complaints that Demings was criticized for not treating seriously enough.
Guaranteeing a female VP pick without looking at who the actual options are was a colossal up no matter how you slice it. We wouldn’t even be talking about Stacey Abrams or Val Demings right now if Biden didn’t limit himself.
Panic sewn into it. He was now taking on Bernie 1v1 for the first time and knew he could get exposed. But certainly it was shameless virtue signaling too. So if you want to call it a two-for then that's okay.
It's stupid iden y politics that have no place in the GE.
Perfectly capable men of all races are basically told to off, because Joe wants a woman around him. They should pick the VP without regard to race, religion, sex and all that other . In fact, saying he's going to pick a certain sex ahead of time is problematic for many reasons. Imagine he said "I'm only picking a male".
i'm pretty sure a bag of onions would be a better president than trump at this point. pretty much anything would be better
Has to be Kamala Harris or Gretchen Whitmer imo. The Kamala Harris prosecutor already ran its course through the news cycle so it won’t be talked about as much, and even though she’s white Whitmer is a better candidate than all of the black/Latino possibilities that are grossly under qualified.
This wouldn’t be as big a deal except the candidate himself is a senile 1 term president who’s going to be relying on the VP a lot.
Harris would appeal to the swing voters because of her tough stance on crime. I don't know how she'd do in a debate with Pence.
I thought Amy K. was going to be the pick and would have been a good pick. Not now, but who could have seen this coming in her state? Well maybe some people but he and she aren't among them, ehhhh.
VP Debates don't matter. Except maybe when Palin was there.
Yeah Hillary clinton was a ty candidate but I’m sure an even ier version of Hillary Clinton with a Karen haircut would have worked out really well.
Cory Booker could announce that he now self identifies as a woman.
Don't think so. He's the in bent and the popular vote won't matter again if Whitmer costs team blue the chance to take back Michigan.
It's still way too early, in political time. 4+ months to go to the election, plenty of time, and frankly campaigns haven't even gone full swing yet.
It's also arguable that Joe needs to pander to black people more after the Floyd murder, tbh... I think this episode did more to mobilize african americans than anything vanilla Joe could've said or done.
Sad, but it really has come to this. For decades now, it has been about choosing what we feel is the lesser of two evils. Agreed though, Biden would be better than Trump, arguably the most divisive president ever
If I was being partisan I would be hoping for Stacey Abrams as the VP pick. She would get slaughtered as the in bent pick in 2024.
I think it would have worked out well for Dems. Clinton had decades of baggage that Amy doesn't. It's a ridiculous comparison TBH.
Transgender Cory Booker would still be a better VP pick than Klobuchar tbh.
You're wrong, but that's nothing new.
The Pence/Kaine debate was part of what gave Trump the edge. Many were calling for Pence to be the presidential candidate instead of Trump. Kaine came across as a pompous asshole.
I don't care how they dress or what they identify as, as long as they show up for work and get the job done.
