Biden associates reach out to Holder about VP search
The Hill ^ | 04 02 2020 | Max Greenwood

Associates of Joe Biden have reached out to former Attorney General Eric Holder about the process of selecting a running mate, according to a person close to the former vice president’s campaign.

Holder helped guide former President Obama’s running mate-selection process in 2008, along with Caroline Kennedy and longtime Democratic operative Jim Johnson, who stepped down from that role after a week amid a controversy related to mortgages he received.

That Biden’s associates have reached out to Holder about the selection process was first reported on Thursday by The New York Times. The Times also reported that Biden had spoken with Obama about the matter.

Aides to the former vice president did not immediately respond to The Hill’s requests for comment on the discussions.

Biden is the prohibitive front-runner in the Democratic primary race, having amassed a nearly insurmountable delegate lead over his only remaining rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

I suppose this is the political version of a Fantasy Football League?

Yeah Joe, make sure you pick the best team possible for your upcoming pretend season.

Running mates are always selected to balance deficiencies in the POTUS candidate. Usually they are selected for geographic balance, trying to win votes in key swing states where the candidate is weak.

This year, they’ll have to try to find a SANE Veep candidate to balance Biden’s biggest weakness.

He’s too busy looking for a chin, to search for a VP.

The Veep pick will be a woman. Too much of the base is female.

I don’t think they have a good choice for either President or VP so it is a waste of time.Nobody can save Biden.

I see that Stacey Abrams says she’d be happy to be his running mate. Turning her down would be mighty tough to do - if he did, he’d have to go with a different angry, radical, militant woman of color. I guess there’s always Auntie Maxine.....she’d be good.

It was always going to be Kamala - she checks every box. Condescending, snarky, and fairly articulate, with darkish skin and a vagina. Plus, she’ll let Joe rub her when he feels like rubbing somebody.

Holder belongs in prison for running guns to Mexican cartels.

Biden decoder ring:
VJ and Obama are calling the shots.
Biden is going to be a senile version of Obama.

Holder should be in jail. Not consulted.
