The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told CBS News the former first lady would be a strong addition as VP. However, he is unsure if she would accept the nomination. 'I'd take her in a heartbeat,' Biden said during an interview on Monday. 'She's brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a really fine woman.' Biden has has already committed to choosing a woman as his running mate and noted it was still early in the process of selecting a vice president. 'I'll commit to that be a woman because it is very important that my administration look like the public, look like the nation. And we will be committed that there will be a woman of color on the Supreme Court, but it doesn't mean there won't be a vice president, as well,' Biden said.

Biden then reiterated the 'importance' of remembering there's 'plenty of qualified people who have the experience and background who are women and are ready to be president on day one. And I'm gonna stick with that.'

During a Democratic Debate back in March, Biden publicly pledge to select a female running mate.

This year, Obama is a part of When We All Vote – an initiative to get people to the polls this November. She had planned a voter participation rally in Detroit last month that was canceled when containment measures to combat the coronavirus were put into place.

On Monday evening, Obama held an online voter registration drive.

'I'm counting on all of you to help make sure everyone in this country knows how to register and vote safely in the 2020 elections. Join me and @WhenWeAllVote this Monday night—RSVP now for the voter registration #CouchParty at http://weall.vote/couchparty,' she tweeted on Thursday.

Obama launched the group in the 2018 election cycle with the help of celebrity friends like Tom Hanks and Lin-Manuel Miranda. (Couch Party, really? What kind of hash tag is that?)

Among the contenders to be Biden's running mate are former 2020 rivals Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, and Elizabeth Warren.

While pundits are continue to discuss the options, bookmakers in Las Vegas have identified Harris as the most likely pick.

Biden just told every other VP candidate that they are at least the #2 choice.

Thankfully I don’t believe she likes Biden so I don’t think she will run with him. But make no mistake, if she ran as VP she and Biden would probably win. And at some point during his term, Biden would resign due to health issues and we would have Michelle as President for the remainder of the term as well as two terms afterwards.

Somewhat scary choice of words there, Joe. She would be literally one heartbeat away from taking your job.

She has expressed numerous times she doesn’t care for politics, she doesn’t have a thick enough skin, and she just isn’t interested in an elected position.

Big Mike would give slow Joe a boost, that’s for sure. The Dems would be excited to vote for this ticket, knowing Big Mike would be president very soon.

And no one is being fooled, if Biden is elected, the DNC will be the de facto president.

This is kind of reminiscent of Mcstain picking Palin for VP in an upside down sideways sort of way.
