Biden says he has 'short list' of potential women VP picks

Former Vice President Joe Biden suggested Tuesday that he is keeping a running list of potential vice presidential picks that includes more than a dozen women.

"There is a short list meaning somewhere between — there's about 12 and 15 women who I think would be qualified to be president tomorrow," Biden said during an appearance on ABC's "The View."

"I think we're going to narrow to 11," he added. "We're going to start vetting soon."

"We are going to start vetting soon and there is a shortlist," Joe Biden tells @TheView on female VP picks, adding they plan to narrow the list down to "about 11."

Biden adds that he doesn't "want to start to name people and then raise expectations." https://t.co/VJfYAT2rJf pic.twitter.com/Vh2AuI9tJ4 - ABC News (@ABC) March 24, 2020 Biden's remarks came more than a week after he vowed to choose a woman as his running mate should he clinch the Democratic presidential nomination.

He's made clear in the past that he has his own criteria for choosing a running mate, insisting it's important to choose someone with whom he is "simpatico" — a point he reiterated Tuesday.

"I just need to make sure that whomever I pick — assuming I'm the nominee, which is not the case yet — that that person is simpatico with where I want to take the nation in terms of domestic and foreign policy," he said. "And I think there are a number of women who are in that category."

They’re like black quarterbacks in the 70’s and 80’s. None of them were any good but too many blamed racism. That’s when you name names and they can’t come up with any good ones. In this case there are no women who will not embarrass the party. Soon to be widow Kornblacher comes closest to presentable.
