Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden this week reaffirmed his desire to have former first lady Michelle Obama be his running mate.
“I sure would like Michelle [Obama] to be the vice president,” Biden said Tuesday at a campaign stop in Muscatine, Iowa.
The comment came after the former vice president was asked if he would consider nominating former President Barack Obama to the Supreme Court.
“Yeah, I would, but I don’t think he’d do it. He’d be a great Supreme Court justice,” Biden responded.
The questioner followed up with the question, “Which Obama?”
Biden responded: “They’re both incredibly qualified people and they’re such decent, honorable people.”
The pairing would be a first in American politics; there has never been a presidential ticket that included a former first lady in the VP slot.
This isn’t the first time Biden had mentioned the idea of the former first lady being his running mate or the former president being on the Supreme Court.
In September, Biden joked during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” that he had “only [asked Michelle] to be my vice president,” when asked if he had asked her for advice.
The former vice president said in December at another Iowa campaign stop that he’d nominate President Obama to the nation’s highest bench “if he’d take it.”

Trump has done a ton of work attempting to win over black voters. There's a lack of enthusiasm for Joe. African-Americans got Joe on track in South Carolina and throughout the South. He would not be the nominee without them. MSM awaits with stories about how exciting this ticket is.
Will Michelle be his pick?
Posting as PERSONAL as the story is not recent.
Asked by Washington Post reporter Vanessa Williams whether it would be important to him to select a running mate who reflects diversity, Biden replied: “Whomever I pick, preferably it will be someone who was of color and/or a different gender, but I’m not making that commitment until I know that the person I’m dealing with I can completely and thoroughly trust as authentic and on the same page [as me].”
Pandering ...
I think Biden has a winning plan. Here it is: he is going to pick Donald Trump for his running mate.
Diabolically clever - that is Joe Biden.
He gots him some negress power.
We talkin Big Mike or mini-mike?
Stacy Abrams or Kamala Harris
Would that ticket be the Whacko and the Wookie ticket?
Well, if it is Big Mike, President Trump is gonna have a ball telling him he is.....SCHLONGED!! (Literally!)
He’ll grope her.
Add Oprah Winfrey to your list: Kamala Harris and Stacey Abrams. I could see Biden crazy enough to go that route.
Well, didn’t Valarie Jarrett say he has to pick a women of color?
Thing is, Big Mike isn’t a woman...
I’m thinking possibly either bernie or biden might name bloomberg as VP? Just a thought-
All Biden and the Democrats have is a racial approach to politics. Racism is the only way they win.
The Democrats are hypocritical when it comes to diversity. They say they want it, but look who has the only chance of winning their nomination? Two old white guys who have been in politics longer than most voters have been alive.
He’ll pick Okra (oprah)
How about a female Cherokee Indian?
Will he walk into a Dunkin Donuts or a 7-11 t find someone to meet his quota of a light-skinned ‘person of color’ with “no negro dialect”???
