Biden confirms he's considering Whitmer for VP
The Hill ^ | 04 01 2020 | Tal Axelrod

Former Vice President Joe Biden confirmed this week that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is one of the women he's considering as a potential running mate in his White House bid.

Biden, who has already vowed to tap a woman as his vice presidential pick, said Tuesday night he’s been considering Whitmer for the role for months, but that he is eyeing as many as 10 potential candidates.

“She made the list in my mind two months ago. There’s probably going to be a list, I’m in the process of, Brian, we’ll have it by mid-April, putting together an organization that will run the background checks…by the second or third week in April,” Biden told MSNBC host Brian Williams.

“I’ve thought about some of the women who I believe are ready to be president and I think I can work with and would be willing to work with me. It’s going to be somewhere between six and 10 of them.”

Whitmer, a rising Democratic star who flipped Michigan’s governorship in 2018, has long been seen as a possible running mate for Biden. Whitmer runs a crucial swing state that Democrats will almost certainly have to win back in November to defeat President Trump, and she handed Biden a high-profile endorsement before the Wolverine State’s primary last month, which the former vice president ultimately won by double digits.

The Pelosi camp, her puppet Schumer, and the Chinese loving social media moguls will do all they can to throw Trump out of the White House even to the point of prolonging a cure for the Wuhan Chinese Biological Warfare virus.

Hundreds of thousands of people dying that can be blamed on Trump will make Pelosi and her daddy Soros plus the crew mentioned above very happy.

two States probably. The Upper Peninsula wants to secede from the Lower Michigan for years. Whitmer is an illogical choice to have as a VP candidate. she won’t help carry Michigan. The Democrats want a historic precedent the first female democrat to be elected as Vice President/President when Joe is 25th amendment out as Incompetent.
Just think if it is a woman President it would be scary if the person picked to be replace her as Vice President - imagine it to be Pelosi.

She beat her opponent by 10 points in a state Biden needs badly. She couldn't hurt.

Joe trying to grab a tiny bit of relevance, I’m thinking the next possibility is Taylor Swift.....

With her short dresses she would give Joe's candidacy a leg up.

I always like to mention that China is the main culprit here.

They aggressively attacked the USA, not to mention the whole world, with this biological weapon for the end result of becoming the top power—economically and militarily; nuclear— in the world.

We need to never forget this.

We can’t fight them out in the open now because of Obama’s moving almost all of our industry to China, including our medical meds and equipment.

Our main goal should be to bring all the manufacturing of meds and medical supplies back to the USA.

This is very necessary to be self sufficient medically.

Even India has a lot of raw materials that we need to do this, but are holding back and not selling them to us.

I imagine China is blackmailing them with some deadly threats if they help us.

No more tolerance. If we lose this year there won’t be absentee ballots from our gulags, just misery and death.

My dingbat sister has been a Massachusetts liberal since she moved there from Michigan in the 1970s.

Praises Romney’s health plan to this day. She said she was in tears for two days when Hillary lost “because now it means I won’t live to see a woman president.” No matter the quality or issues involved, just the one who isn’t a man is enough. As I said, a dingbat.

Soon as Joe finds his way out of the linen closet he’s going to take on “Corn Pop’’ China.

The only good news coming out of this is maybe, just maybe, the b*tch will step down to run and leave her job.

She is horrible, just ask anyone with two brain cells to rub together from Michigan now.
