There are 14 white male Dems running for president. So why should Kamala Harris settle for veep? by AndrewRomano
Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race. Reminder: There are 262 days until the Iowa caucuses and 535 days until the 2020 presidential election.Not so ‘woke’And then there were 14.
Yet as skeptical as Democrats may be, few have suggested that the latest white guys to declare would be better suited to serve as vice president than as commander in chief. “I think [Biden’s] going to look to balance his ticket so that the ticket itself is more appealing,” said Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Md. “It wouldn’t surprise me if he picked a woman of color.”
“I think that Joe Biden would be a great running mate — as vice president he’s proven that he knows how to do the job,” she snapped Wednesday in New Hampshire. Then the former prosecutor turned her fire on all of his fellow white-dude wannabes: “There’s certainly a lot of other candidates that would make, for me, a very viable and interesting vice president.
“I recognize that I can do a better job,” the former Texas congressman told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow a few days later. 27Pete Buttigieg unveiled 27 new “policies” Thursday in an effort to counter the perception that his media-fueled rise has been light on specifics. The numbers stop there, however: None of Buttigieg’s policies have a price tag attached to them, and many are only short, vague phrases such as “hold the gun industry accountable” and “increase energy efficiency in homes.”
Elizabeth Warren: “I don’t believe in tariff negotiation by tweet. I think we need a comprehensive, coherent plan before we ever get started, and that would start with bringing our allies together so we have maximum leverage against the Chinese. The Chinese are bad actors on trade. But that means that our best way to fight back is with strength and with a coherent plan — not with chaos.”
“I think that’s something that perhaps some people will have a problem with. I have no problem with it whatsoever. I think it’s good.”The AOC primaryOrlando Bloom, Katy Perry and Gwyneth Paltrow are backing Buttigieg. Shonda Rhimes, Elizabeth Banks and Ben Affleck are with Harris. Susan Sarandon and Danny DeVito are supporting Sanders. And even Steve Bullock has some A-list donors, including Jeff Bridges and Lyle Lovett.
