Klobuchar’s decision to end her campaign before Super Tuesday allowed Biden to consolidate the moderate/establishment wing of the Democratic party and set the groundwork for his eventual triumph over Sanders.

A Senate insider told The Post Klobuchar had standout “political skills” and was also the favorite of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Team Biden also hopes her presence on the ticket will help nail down a critical swing state.

CONTENDERS Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, Tammy Duckworth

Harris, the only candidate of color, might help juice critically important black turnout. Whitmer’s coronavirus leadership in Michigan has won praise, turning her into something of a midwestern Andrew Cuomo. Duckworth, who lost both her legs fighting in Iraq, would bring a war hero onto the ticket.

LONGSHOTS Catherine Cortez Masto, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Stacey Abrams, Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren

Whitmer is insane so Whitmer it is.

I saw Hillary Rodham Clinton is heavily on his mind.

[Carriage Hill]

No one cares. It’s a kamikaze, crash & burn, run.

[highpockets]

That's Killary if you cross her Clinton to many of her friends.

Half Whit just banned anyone using a boat with a motor. Boats with no motor may be allowed stay tuned for update from Stalag Michigan.

Willie Brown’s Mistress would give the best

I think it is going to be Kamala. She’s a person of color and from the left coast.

I wonder when his interview with the cops will take place now that a criminal complaint was filed against him for sexual assault.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Ah. The Plugs-Whore ticket.

Whitmer is not President-ready, Klobuchar ended her run on a bad note and said she is “dumb”, Harris is actually the most “logical” choice if he doesn’t fall into the gotta pick a swing-state trap.

[Meatspace]

Klobuchar has been the leading contender for months.

[aynrandfreak]

Harris is willing to go all the way for the nomination!

[Eddie01]

Whitmer is not Governor-ready

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The statute of limitations has expired on her complaint. We have a statute of limitations for a reason. Unfortunately, there is no statute of limitations on smear campaigns conducted by the press.
