Good news for Trump. Biden is weak with hispanics.
What isn't good news for Trump?

At this point I would think if he wants a black VP, Demings might be his best option. Her personal life is a much better story than Harris' and she has less of a media entourage. If he wants the midwestern moderate, Whitmer (other than protestors who are not representative of the state) is a better option than Klobuchar after this.

The least experienced might be the least risky.

If Biden picks Warren Democrats are basically throwing the 2024 Election away.

There is ZERO Chance Warren would win a POTUS Race against the likes of Haley, Rubio, Pence, DeSantis, Scott, Hawley with her Progressive Agenda & Views.

Warren would even lose to Mike Pence.

Are people just blindly repeating the conclusions of that absolute garbage story about Klobuchar being tied to the cop?

A Progressive Democrat like Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, etc. will never ever win the Democratic Nomination and if they do by some accident they would lose to Republicans in a massive landslide.

Republicans had the same thoughts like the liberal left wing of the Democratic Party has right now in 2008 and 2012 by trying a Mike Huckabee or Rick Santorum. It did not work and it will not work.

Get used to it! Both Parties Nominees will always be in some form a Moderate.

Because her candidacy is attached to a live political scandal. Whether that's fair or not, picking her would be a free hit for the Republicans, and I think it's overwhelmingly likely the Biden campaign would want to avoid this.

Politics are all about optics, and the optics for her are bad right now between her lukewarm reception among African-Americans, and whatever role, real or imagined, people think she had in letting bad cops off the hook in MN. She won't be the VP.

Trump is not a moderate. Pence is not a moderate. Haley, Rubio, DeSantis, Scott, and Hawley are not moderates. The GOP will not nominate a moderate for the foreseeable future.

Haley, Rubio, Scott are Reform Conservatives with Moderate Views. Trump is a lot more moderate compared to his VP Pence.

Even if it isn't true, Klobuchar is still a terrible pick. She motivates nobody.She doesn't help turn out progressives, African-Americans, or Hispanics, which are all crucial parts of the Democratic coalition. Progressives and Hispanics are especially important given Biden's weakness with them. Klobuchar is also from a state Biden is almost certainly going to win and doesn't help in other swing states. She's one fo the worst choices Biden could make.

For a VP decision though, as unfair as it may be, Biden isn't going to want to introduce any unnecessary potential for controversy.

We don't need Progressives in the United States of America! If some people want a Progressive Agenda move over to Europe and make a career there if your can.

Kamala is disqualified based on her refusal to investigate the shootings of Ezell Ford and Mario woods. She has lots of other bag is in my opinion but this is the stuff that’s relevant now. His best bet is to take Warren or Presley to reach out, or Susan Rice or Tammy Duckworth to double down on his brand. I wish Stacey Abrams was still in contention stacey Abrams was still in contention But because of our dumb notion’s of what it means to be a “qualified“ candidate, she’s not
