Biden confirms he's considering Whitmer for VP
The Hill ^ | 04 01 2020 | Tal Axelrod

Former Vice President Joe Biden confirmed this week that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is one of the women he's considering as a potential running mate in his White House bid.

Biden, who has already vowed to tap a woman as his vice presidential pick, said Tuesday night he’s been considering Whitmer for the role for months, but that he is eyeing as many as 10 potential candidates.

“She made the list in my mind two months ago. There’s probably going to be a list, I’m in the process of, Brian, we’ll have it by mid-April, putting together an organization that will run the background checks…by the second or third week in April,” Biden told MSNBC host Brian Williams.

“I’ve thought about some of the women who I believe are ready to be president and I think I can work with and would be willing to work with me. It’s going to be somewhere between six and 10 of them.”

Whitmer, a rising Democratic star who flipped Michigan’s governorship in 2018, has long been seen as a possible running mate for Biden. Whitmer runs a crucial swing state that Democrats will almost certainly have to win back in November to defeat President Trump, and she handed Biden a high-profile endorsement before the Wolverine State’s primary last month, which the former vice president ultimately won by double digits.

He might want to tie a piece of string around his finger, too.

Joe trying to grab a tiny bit of relevance, I’m thinking the next possibility is Taylor Swift. But Trump will counter with Kanye West.

I’ve been making a point of blackening her name on this site for a long time. She is a despicable and unrepentant abortion rights activist and anti-male feminist. Hates gun rights and Deplorables and capitalism.

As a Michigan FReeper I have had to endure the fact that surrounding me are the many Southeast Michigan fans of this hag and they actually voted for her.

Our state’s 10,400 vote margin in favor of Trump greatly helped him. But it also energized the creepy morons who believe in socialism here.

We must overcome them and her. If she were VP and Biden babbled incoherently and resigned, we’d have true Hell to pay in this declining nation. God forbid she or Biden get into national office in the 2020 election.

Biden background check: you show me yours I’ll show you mine.

Or imagine if he asked Clinton to do it. No checks needed, but she would find it so galling to sit in Biden’s side car. Worse, if he won a race she couldn’t!

She’s a George Soros creature to the core so it makes perfect sense for Biden.

Probably only a 3/4 wit at best.

Joe got the order from his superior-”You must choose a woman as VP. It is the only way we can possibly get one of our controlling harpies elected president, on a man’s coattails.”
