Joe Biden said he plans to announce his running mate in about a month. Many are calling for him to choose a Black woman — but some progressives are pushing for Elizabeth Warren, in hopes she helps win over skeptical young voters.

Anita Hill’s sexual harassment testimony about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in 1994 was led by Joe Biden and Orrin Hatch. Biden called no independent experts and forced Hill to defend herself alone against an avalanche of immensely powerful white men.

And I'm ready to be Secretary of Agriculture!

Only because they coopted the term, progressives. Actual progressives despise her.

So the Simpsons were right...

Skeptical young voter here: I’m not voting for either of those Republicans.

She does nothing for the progressive vote... We see her for exactly who she is. 🐍

Bet he flips a coin!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Asian.

So we’ve gone from “It must be a woman” to “It must be a black woman” with no mention that, coincidentally, Wall St is scared of Warren. Smells like an excuse not to pick a progressive. $10 says if Barbara Lee were on the short list, it’d be “It must be a trans black woman!”

She is too old to be VP to Biden.

Does anyone thinks Black voters will vote for trump because Biden picked Warren? Come on! Main goal here is getting rid of this mad man.

Aunt Maxine!

Given that warren isn’t progressive at all, this won’t be any more true than any other choice.

Warren please!

we need her in the Senate more than the WH.

Warren would certainly go a long way to encourage people to get behind Biden. Right now, I am behind Biden only because I think we absolutely need Trump out. But having Warren as VP would certainly make Biden more viable.

Voters are either going to vote with dems to save our country or suffer the consequences. Bernie or Bust and ppl nothing caring to vote gave us Trump. Warren is Bernie. Bernie was rejected.

She’s also a septuagenarian. Doesn’t make sense given Biden’s age being a factor. Kamela’s senate seat is the safest one in the country, and she has the best stature among the rest. And if he doesn’t pick a WOC, that will become a focus.

Got to love politics Not who you are or what you have done in your life but what color or sex you are—- depending what portion of voters you are looking to gain.. Politicians =liars, thieves. & bullshit artist . REGARDLESS OF PARTY!!!

Dont pick any senators, we need to flip it blue! They are great and all but unless you KNOW ya flipping it blue with a +5 over. DONT! JoeBiden

There’s a spot for Elizabeth in the Biden administration it just might not be the VP. My advise is to trust that President Biden will put competent people in all positions and she’s in the Senate so she can still use her clout in that chamber and we benefit from her expertise!

kamals harris is a cop. read the room Joe.

If 'young voters' still have to be convinced to vote trump out of office by now, they really haven't learned much.

Susan Rice for VP, Senator Klobuchar for Secretary of State.

ewarren is JoeBiden only choice. She's the only choice that unites the party, brings out progressive/Sanders voters & young people - essential parts of the Obama coalition. HRC didn't excite those parts of the coalition. And we all saw how well that worked out 4 her Warren4VP

I just want Biden to choose the best person for the job regardless. Male/female, black/white doesn't matter, as long as they are the most qualified! There's going to be a lot of work to be done at the White House once he becomes president.

Kane007 There's no way biden will choose warren. Wall Street will not like that.

go ewarren go!!!! LFG!!!! BidenWarren2020

Yay! SenWarren all the way 💥

TampaForWarren Wow! Black female! PANDERING! If you think simply picking a black female running mate will get you the votes you are CLEARLY missing what the real problem is!

I’m a young voter and having ewarren on the ticket would motivate me to donate to the campaign I won’t donate otherwise

Of all the people the party had to pick, you picked him.

I'm for Warren because she's a fighter.

No please... cringe

JoeBiden Pick your running mate. Come on strong and sure. Be you. And DONT underestimate the black market voting that propels Trump votes. NO amount of “point ahead’ polls should be taken for granted. Push to win like your life depends on it. Ours does.

It’s dementia his running mate is definitely dementia🤣🤣

If they think that will win over young voters they are BEYOND clueless.

I love Liz. But no. We need her in the Senate.

Warren is too old. At Biden's age it doesn't make sense to pick an old VP

It's gonna be Kamala 'The Cop' Harris. She's the perfect combination of tokenism and upholding the status quo.

No, no, no....Warren was not much of a vote getter in the primaries. She didn't even win her home state. She would not be an asset to Biden.

ewarren for VP KamalaHarris for AG BarackObama for chief of staff

This African American woman says choose Liz.

I’d still prefer AndrewYang YangGang

I wish SenWarren was black. Then it’d be perfect. Whoever he chooses needs to be as tough and intelligent as she is. I hate that it’s about race. I want her because I think she’ll do the best job.

The DNC will choose his running mate. Not Joe Biden. He's their puppet. Sad

I’m happy either way but honestly would love to see Kamala Harris as the new DOJ.

Elizabeth Warren is the only choice that will solidify young progressives like myself for him

This is one of if not the most important VP pick in recent history. Biden is in decline and may not finish his term if he wins. I don’t take pleasure in saying that. Also I can’t see him going for re-election in 2024.

But will young people vote?

Who ever Joe Biden picks, based on his health, there is really good probability the VP will be president within 4 years.

Warren is who they're tapping to woo the 'young' vote....😐

staceyabrams fits the bill, exquisitely. BidenAbrams2020 Biden2020 JoeBiden JoeBiden VoteBlueNoMatterWho VoterSuppression 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Dear Joe, PLEASE do NOT choose EW !!

I'll take 'Game Show Politics' for $100, Alex.

Tulsi!!!!

He should choose Tulsi Gabbard

Elizabeth warren? Holy shit Biden has lost his marbles!!!!

I love Warren but she is not the right pick here.

pick qualified before any other factor fist.

a white female vice president is a more palatable segway

Maybe he should pick the most qualified person. Instead of going with optics.

Warren seems like a much less progressive choice after she effectively said she's no longer interested in Medicare for All.

Joe needs to pick someone who will give him the greatest number of votes & with progressive goals We need guaranteed universal basic income, free medical/dental/counseling, housing stipend, open immig to help the people of the world, reparations, & a restructuring of the police

Hiring another black person for vice president will bring up more resentment's from whites.

A 70 year old lying nag with the energy of a substitute teacher will win over the young vote? Man Democrats are so lost right now

Negative. I voted for Warren in primary, BECAUSE Kamala dropped out graciously. Kamala. Kamala. KAMALA.

I am pushing for Elizabeth Warren. We need a progressive voice.

Any Black woman shall do. Only qualification: Black. Woman. Done.

BarackObama Please prevail on JodeBiden to pick WARREN as his VP & announce Now! WARREN brings Dem coalition Biden & US need! She unifies the Dem base, energizes voters, brings results & joy to all she touches. She's a devoted servant of ALL the people. We need to win Big!

As much as I'd love to see a Black woman or WOC in the position, I'd MUCH prefer Warren over Harris.

how about he not choose a current senator ... we need their power in congress

I say it's gonna be Obama

Yeah, like young people gave a ken to BernieSanders 👎🏻

I will vote for JoeBiden whomever he chooses. I would like to see AmbassadorRice for VP and if not, SenKamalaHarris.

As much as I would have preferred Warren as POTUS, she’d be a terrible VP pick for Biden. And then there’s the fact that her Senate seat would be filled by a Republican.

I want him to choose a person of color as well as a woman for exactly that reason. Elizabeth Warren is more valuable in the senate. She also has less appeal to younger voters than some think.

He should pick Sarah Palin!

No one likes Elizabeth Warren except woke progressives in academia and the media. She might be the worst politician in the country.

We need Warren to remain in the Senate...... this time.

Progressives want Bernie.

If young voters can't see that Trump is a present danger to them, then they need to get their heads checked.

Laughable headline. Young voters do not view Warren favorably. Ask them.

Not Elizabeth Warren, even though I admire her greatly. It should be a woman of color that can help bring the voters together with progressive goals!

Soros backs Elizabeth, she will be the VP.

She’s also in her 70s

Symbolic victories are meaningless.. He needs to pick someone that people will be comfortable with being president.

Elizabeth Warren will be a smart choice. It will be political suicide not to pick Warren. And im a black man saying this.

I wish he hadn't said he would chose a woman. But o.k. in that we are over 50% of the population. But let's leave the rest to him....

That’s unacceptable

Warren is the best choice. She is popular and genuine. Democrats need to start empowing those who have those qualities if they want to win elections

Will we hear program of actions and intentions or only beautifull candidates?

Why on earth would any voter not vote for Biden if they wanted Trump gone? If they prefer to sit on their ass & not vote because Biden is not woke enough or progressive enough then sit at home and sulk, if Trump wins , your voice won’t ever matter because you failed your country

pick 👏 nina 👏 turner👏

Bernie would be the best pick

I think all the candidates have something to offer, but I don't think giving up a Senate seat would be a good choice

To all the young voters who I’m voting for Biden, well have fun with Trump screwing you and everyone else over and over again.

BREAKING: Young people know she is a fake and not progressive. Adding her as VP will do nothing. Progressives are voting green and will never support Biden or the corrupted corporate democrats that cheated Bernie out of the nomination twice.

Warren would be better, coz it will attract white voters too

He is going to fail if he does not select Elizabeth

Whoever Biden chooses will be an outstanding candidate for different reasons and pleasing different parts of the electorate.

If 'skeptical young voters' don't beat their feet to vote for Joe regardless of VP choice may they rot in the hell of their own creation is this once, at least, somewhat finer nation.

Elizabeth warren, the one who came in 3rd in her own state? Bold strategy cotton, lets see if it pays off.

Her name is Kamala Harris NPR you can say her name too, shes not just 'a Black woman'

You mean a fake progressive.

Warren has to push pro-Indigenous legislation (frankly every candidate should) before she gets a look from me/:

ewarren for Secretary of the Treasury!

E Warren is a fake progressive.

This may sound irresponsible, but I dont care who he picks, as long as they whoop trump to defeat!!

Needs to go with CondoleezzaRice

Skeptical young voters know warrens true character, she’s not a good vp choice.

1) Elizabeth Warren is a better pick that Kamala Harris. 2) Elizabeth Warren won't move the needle on skeptical young voters. 3) Barbara Lee is available and the best choice of all.

He better find the right one to be able to cover his inabilities.

Crystal ball prediction: It will Congresswoman Val Demings.

BidenWarren2020

If the new goal is to not see skin color, why prioritize skin color?

Susan Rice.

Young voters never vote en mass

Age is such a huge factor right now for many Americans. The reality is: the VP has the potential to be a very important factor with the oldest Presidential election in history.

She has a plan for that Y'all.

Dear Skeptical Young Voters----this is not a time to fuck around. Just vote blue...your future completely depends on it.

KAMALA 🇺🇸

Pick Tammy Duckworth

Tuh

Don't underestimate the amount of 'skeptical young voters' who are skeptical of ewarren, since she stayed in the running just long enough to split progressive votes.

Warren would be an excellent choice.

as a skeptical young voter, if it's warren I will still not vote for joe biden
