As he considers who to pick to be his running mate, Joe Biden says he's looking for someone who is "ready to be president on day one." Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, made the comment in an interview with "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell.
"It's really important that whomever you pick as a vice president agrees with you in terms of your philosophy of government and agrees with you on the systemic things that you wanna change," Biden told O'Donnell. "And is, in fact, going to be able to be someone who is not at all intimidated by the president, not at all intimidated walkin' in the White House. And is going to be prepared to give their unvarnished opinion and be able to privately argue with the president if they disagree. I want someone strong. I want someone strong, and someone who can -- who is ready to be president on day one."
As people across the country speak out over the death of George Floyd, the presumptive nominee said there is "absolutely" systemic racism in law enforcement, but not just in law enforcement.
"It's in housing, it's in education, and it's in everything we do. It's real. It's genuine. It's serious," Biden said. "Look, not all law enforcement officers are racist; my lord, there are some really good, good cops out there. But the way in which it works right now is we've seen too many examples of it."

STACEY ABRAMS!!! LOL, ROTFL!
Just kidding.... Alexandria Occasional-Cortez.
How about Mike Pence!?
I got a hot dog riding on Kamala Harris
Joe has agreed to undertake a Mission Impossible.
She is one of the few democrat mayors who came out and condemned the rioting while encouraging peaceful protesting and she seems to comport herself well in front of the cameras and on the microphone.
Since Biden's VP pick would likely become president if he were to win, she could be getting serious consideration by the party bosses, who will ultimately make the decision, as a "safe" pick.
After yammering on about “systemic racism”, he virtually has to pick a black woman.
This is gold! Whomever he picks can have their entire history or quotes, support and words put in him mouth. Hope Team Trump is queuing this one up when it's time?
Joe has been part of the swamp for 50 years. Seems he would know who would be a good VP by now.
“Biden wants “strong” vice president who is “ready to be president on day one” “
Did anybody ask him why Obama didn’t want one of those?
Golly! I never would have thought that you’d try to get a “job ready” person as a VP. He is so clever.
You, and a hundred other guys.
LOL Good one!
Better keep in the cellophane
It ain't you, Joe, it ain't you, Babe.
No, no, no, it ain't Joe, babe
It ain't Joe you're lookin' for, babe
Is Biden Admitting that Killary is his VP? Is he alluding to some preplanned accident...
Yep, biden needs a VP ready to go as P on day one because he will never be ready to be P.
Biden is part of the problem; not the solution.
Of course the same can be said of all dems today. The few good ones like JFK are gone; probably forever.
I’ve said she’ll be the one all along. EEO points.
I’m still thinking it’s Holder...
That would mean a senator, representative, or former cabinet member.
Seems he would know who would be a good VP by now.
= = = = = = = = = = =
What he actually realizes is that they picked HIM so it means that ANYONE, no matter how demented, naïve, of just plain full of Schiff can be installed.
Is ‘ready on day 1’ dog whistle code for HE knows that he probably won’t make it past the swearing in?
