(CNN)Joe Biden heads into the weekend weighing the biggest decision of his presidential campaign so far, and people close to the process tell CNN that the former vice president is believed to have now begun to narrow his personal shortlist of potential running mates to a handful of women.
In more than two dozen interviews with CNN in recent days, members of Congress, top Democratic donors, Biden allies and others close to the vice presidential vetting process said California Rep. Karen Bass, the 66-year-old chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, has gained real traction in the late stage of the search. Amid furious last-minute lobbying and speculation about Biden's historic decision, California Sen. Kamala Harris and Susan Rice, Barack Obama's former national security adviser, are also believed to be among the most serious contenders.

Bubble Bass?
If they flipped it, it would be Bass/Turd 2020.
Executive function?
Im still thinking Tammy Duckworth.
Beetlejuice or GloZell
Every day Joe gets up and can’t remember who he wanted to pick yesterday. This could become a problem.
Just heard Jason Chafetz on Fox say that Bass was presumed a safe / moderate choice. Wow!
He will never carry Florida with Bass on the ticket. She is a Castro loving marxist.
‘Head fake. Bass brings nothing to the ticket.’
nothing whatsoever...
‘Im still thinking Tammy Duckworth.’
seems like a slam dunk...but, it’s Joe...
Rice is the one, all else is a headfake.
A Karen Bass is a fish that scolds you because your outboard motor is too loud and you made too big a wake.
Just heard Chaffitz predict that it’s going to be Go Woke with the Wookie, Big Mike.
Bye-Bye to Stacey Abrams.
Harris' constituency is low information voters who are only looking for demographic checkboxes. She's the default if everyone else falls through.
Rice's constituency is the Obama administration, and by virtue of that, also NeverTrump. She doesn't bring any states into play, but she brings the Obama electoral machine and the reassurance by the establishment that the socialists won't ruin their old order.
Bass's constituency is the BLM activists. In battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Minnesota, an inspired black activist vote could be the difference between a narrow win and a disappointing loss.
Sure not being picked for her looks. Every picture of her I see she looks old and mean.
Tucker talked about her on his show a few says ago and she is hard left really bad. I hope Joe does not pick her.
I imagine Obama would like her in there because of her ideology and I think that is who is doing the choosing frankly.
Every time I look at her, I’m not sure if they mean Howard Stern’s Beetlejuice, or Michael Keaton’s.
Both really apply.
