Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has drawn attention for her scrapes with President Trump over the federal government’s coronavirus response, is on Joe Biden’s list of potential vice presidential candidates, Biden said in an interview Tuesday.

The former vice president made the remarks during an appearance on MSNBC, after host Brian Williams asked whether Whitmer had “lengthened” Biden’s shortlist due to her performance during the pandemic.

“She hadn’t lengthened the list — she made the list, in my mind, two months ago,” Biden said, adding that he expects to have a shortlist of six to 10 women to be vetted in April.

That looks like a head of hair that Joe will enjoy sniffing.

He is “considering” EVERYONE as his VP.

That’s very racist of Joe. She looks white to me.

That list could serve as toilet paper quite well.

She may be Biden’s Palin. She’s a train wreck of a governor. We have 2 virus cases in our county and yet...she puts the hob nailed boot of the state on us.

With a ticket comprised of two halfwits, the bad news is our country could be led by two half wits. Biden says the good news is together, they are one full wit.

The Gov. that banned the use of what seems to work for Chicom Flu?

Yeah, Slow Joe, that’s the one.

Makes sense. He needs Michigan and hopes she will be the difference maker. She is relatively attractive and the mouth-breathing low-information voters will impulsively be attracted to that (because they are incapable of any thoughts deeper than “tomorrow I get to poop again”).

Desperate for at least a tiny bit of attention, SlowJoe tries to grab the skirt of an unpopular governor!

This actually ties in with some traditional thinking on picking a running mate. She’s governor of a battleground state, a state which she might help Biden carry in the election if she’s on the ticket.

Biden is considering Bruce Jenner as a running mate?
