(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.

From this near puff piece by Biden's big journalistic supporter, it looks like closet communist Bass may be his pick and, thus, our actual next President if Dementia Joe gets elected.

Why not just nominate a Black hottie like Pam Grier, Angela Bassett or Nia Long?

They are really scraping the barrel trying to find someone who kinda sorta has the credentials to be veep. Why not just say screw it and go for the optics?

Dementia Joe is having a really hard time deciding, since he’s pushed the date back from next week to a later date.

No Californian can bring anything to the ticket. It isn't as though California is going to go for Trump - well one can fantacize - and the rest of the country despises California.

This shows the problem Joe has. The Radicals have him flumoxed. Radicals aren't going to vote for Trump, but a radical VP and Rad-Joe himself in his cool shades out for a strole around the rest home with his nurse will certainly turn off a lot of swing staters who just want jobs.

Seriously who gives a rip, who the idiot picks. Not trying to be contentious, but really are the Dems really convinced they don’t have the black vote locked up?

Karen Bass is a feign.

She spoke lovingly of Scientology and it’s on youtube.

It will be Harris or Rice.
