Biden VP news megathread (pg 286 - been selected, announcement could be today)

I wonder if Warren being in the veepstakes makes it more likely she'll be offered Treasury.

There is no chance she gives up her Senate seat unless she's going for VP. I also don't feel like Biden would offer her that post.

Because of course, no Republican could ever hope to win a special election for a Senate seat in Massachusetts.

Warren leading in VP polls is nothing more than name recognition.

That excuse could've made sense in April, but the Veepstakes have been going on for nearly 4 months now. Come up with a better (baseless) excuse next time.

Other than political junkies, who's been paying attention to the Veepstakes?  Most people have better things to do than to speculate on a decision they literally have no say on.

The main problem I'd have with a Biden/Bass ticket is all the stupid memes using stills from Rankin/Bass Productions cartoons.

Rice would be great as SoS

Too bad it's Gillibrand who's getting the job, though.

Don't know if you are joking but why would she abandon her safe senate seat to serve for 2-4 years as cabinet member?

Sympathy for Jeff Sessions?

I keep hoping he'll name his jogging partner the next time he's asked about his running mate. That would be a good troll.

Why has no nominee put forth like 3 names from his shortlist to the convention and allowed the delegates to vote for the VP nominee? That’d be some great drama for the networks and generate a lot of coverage of the proceedings.

Because the last time it was tried Ike still clobbered Stevenson?

Lmao what if it's Obama

Not constitutionally eligible.

Not quite, depends on one's interpretation of the 12th & 22nd Amendments' precise wordings.

Not really, neither Malia nor Sasha are even close to being 35.

Personally, I hope he doesn't chose Kamala. He needs to chose someone new and exciting who still has experience.

how is Harris not "new and exciting"? what? she only recently came up on the national scene in the last few years

Considering what coronavirus did to the cruise industry the last thing we need is "exciting and new"!

Veep, exciting and new
Come aboard. We're expecting you.
Veep, politics' reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.

The Veepstakes soon will be making another run
The Veepstakes promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure, your mind on a new romance.

And tweets won't hurt anymore
They'll be a open smile on a friendly shore.
It's Veep!
Welcome aboard
It's Veep!
