Joe Biden is facing increased calls to name a woman of color as his running mate.

on the heels of Sen. Klobuchar’s announcement. In the span of hours, hundreds of other Warren supporters appeared to follow suit with tweets of their own repeating Farrell’s sentiment.

In this Feb. 13, 2020, file photo, thousands of people attend a rally with Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the gymnasium at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va. "Race must be on the scale of judgement but not be the only weight on the scale -- and meaning no disrespect to the incredible other women on the apparent shortlist, I thought for a couple of years that Elizabeth Warren was a once in a lifetime talent, irrespective of gender and race, and has presidential level skills and temperament like a Bill Clinton and a Barack Obama,” Green said.

Some supporters of Sen. Kamala Harris in particular indicated that they thought the letter opened the door to implications that Harris -- the second black woman to serve in the Senate and a former California attorney general -- had insufficient qualifications to be a top contender. "At this point, it's a bad look to say you cannot argue for a leading contender during the month of judgement while the public is understandably focused on racial injustice...so while there's no perfect time, this paid due respect to the four weeks since George Floyd was lynched," Green said.

Why? and why a woman instead of just a qualified Person no matter the gender? Why not Japanese American, American Indian, Irish American, Italian American, etc... ?

Elizabeth will get the shaft🤫

I’m for Elizabeth warren or Stacy Abrams

No racism there

Isn’t she an Indian?

Ocasio-Cortez would be a solid winner for him, and a very good future president for the USA

Warren is best suited for the position. She gets the progressive vote that he needs.

PLEASE do not put Warren on the ticket!!!!

Regardless I will not vote for a pro-abortion President

Native American Lizzy why not

If you had to have brain surgery, would you choose the surgeon based on color or gender? OF COURSE NOT. So why would you do it when it comes to running our country?

Hey- by this logic, the Dem’s must dump Biden too and seek a candidate of colour instead🤣

Trump baby

Not based on qualifications, but skin tone. The way MLK would've wanted it.

So racism is bad but we must choose someone based on color of skin. OK.

ewarren should run for SenSchumer position. Hopefully, we take the Senate and as Senate Majority Leader, she can put forward a progressive agenda: she has a plan for that! We will see if the (old) Dems want progress for all or remain trustees of corporate interests?

JoeBiden should chose Tulsi Gabbard TulsiPress

It's only the media that is saying this. Any woman he picks will be great except Amy. She was awful

What color

👏👏👏🇺🇸💪💪💪

Yeah we cried for a black president and look what he turned out to be....

How about Joe picks whoever he believes is the most qualified person for the job?

What was he yelling at the end of that new political ad placed by the President? That was wild. It was like, 'Ahhahbahbaba!' (he was probably just beating some reporter to the punch- imitating their manner) I'm going to look for that commercial today.

Cause that’s not racist is it? Only black females need apply.....

How about Joe, chooses the qualified one. Isn't that the best choice? I would love to see a woman of color. Only if she's qualified.

no warren is a traitor

I like Liz! We need Elizabeth Warren.

How do you like that Lizzie, getting pushed out by a monster of your own creation.

'Judge me by my qualifications, not the color of my skin or hair or how my body looks' 'Judge me by my thoughts, my ideas, my actions, and not what you see in the surface' 'It's what is inside a person's heart that counts , not the shell that holds them' So much for that 😂😂

New Poll! Warren -28% Harris -19% Abrams-13% Whitmer -11% Klobuchar (since withdrawn from consideration) -8% Rice - 7% Keisha Lance Bottoms -6% Tammy Duckworth - 4% Michelle Lujan Grisham - 2% Val Demings -1%

Shouldn't you choose the most qualified, REGARDLESS of race or gender? (Just Saying)

None on the list will be selected. Joe Biden will betray everyone soon.

Warren would be the best for the country. Period.

Stop making it a contest among women. That decisive. They are all excellent candidates.

Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren will be bad bad bad for America there is no one in the Democratic party who is smart enough to be president they're all anti-American hypocritical pieces of trash and there shouldn't be a single Democrat left in office after November

So a vp can be a 7 year old girl. It’s ok in his head as long as he said she was 17

Why would SenWarren be an issue as a running mate? Native Americans are oppressed non-white minorities after all.

I like Kamala Harris, Val Demings & Stacey Abrams. I will vote for Biden because Trump has to go.

Enough with the pressure. He'll pick who he picks.

JoeBiden literally wrote the Bill that massively increased policing to incarcerate Blacks and gave subsidies to increase the length of prison sentences to 85% of maximum. Many Black fathers are still in prison because of him.

Should it be most qualified in job skill and abilities? Or let's just pick a women of color cause that's what the mob wants? I cant belive people are so dumb to the Democrats race identity politics. The far left is destroying our country and no one cares.

Biden really is the perfect puppet for the left. 😂

ROAR Joe ROAR...Rescue Our American Republic....ROAR Joe ROAR!

He’s be a fool to do so if he really wants to win?

Where is Bunker Biden?

Joe Biden can’t even leave his basement to interview anybody in person 😂😂

This would be a mistake

Let me paint black color on SenWarren so Biden can pick her as VP.

Condolizza Rice

Klobuchar was very selfish to say the VP should b a woman of color. Amy is trying to repair her image. ewarren is a qualified VP candidate. Black VP cannot solve the inequality issue alone. Obama's election magnified it. White ppl r needed to fight this battle & say 'ENOUGH'!!

That's racism... selecting a woman based on skin color. Total hypocrisy.

Joe Biden play race card & pick woman of color no 2 ways about it..JOE BIDEN SHALL LOSE PERIOD..!! TRICKY DEMS PLAN Biden resign after year or so in office for health & his VP woman color assume President. No way Biden can do 2nd term..too old..!.DONT BE FOOLED & BYE BYE USA.!!

I want to see a debate

Who cares about credentials, right?

This IS So Wrong in sooo many ways let me name a FEW: Racism, Gender Discrimination, Bigotry...And Many MORE! Stupidity...Brown nosing...hiding in UR $1 M Bunker...3 Legged Stool Approach...

But Lizzy is a minority

🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Michelle OBama

1/1024

A vice president affirmative action pic, why not

Val Deming is the obvious choice.

ABC You wouldn't report on The Posture Theory in 1981 because it was controversial, unless I submitted it to someone who had a long career of experience in this area. Why aren't you reporting on all the experts who are now stealing my research. Did you know they would steal It?

Michelle Obama!

Candace Owens might be a good pick

Why can’t just the best candidate be VP regardless of race and gender

Color is not what matters now. Leadership, affability, indispensable credibility, the willingness and aptitude to serve, plus the zeal and vitality to get to work from day one in the transformation process of this nation. We talking about unity, social and economic freedom.

So much for being the best ,qualified or experienced. Just do whatever sells, like a new brand of cereal.

Isn’t this being racist?

Mayor of Atlanta!!JoeBiden

Optics over talent. But why is joe running?

You shouldn’t pick a candidate on skin color that’s ridiculous.

Sounds racist to pick someone because of the color of their skin, sound familiar?

We don’t care

Rupaul! Lol

Oprah!!!

If its not Michelle then who?..... However, it's not necessary, may actually be his undoing..... Just choose a capable female JoeBiden

IS THIS ABOUT RACISM OR THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB? I don’t have to worry about sleeping 😴 at night Because I don’t judge people by the Color of their Skin

michelle obama

How about the right person for the job? Black? White? Purple? Green. Jesus, take the wheel

ABC Why don't the ABC news hosts tell the public that I did all the research and invention of the theory that sitting at an ordinary desk can make you sick. You now use tall chairs & desks, and no doubt standing computer desks in your offices?

How about one who identifies as a woman of color ?

Yeah, I mean, why choose the BEST candidate. Why judge someone on the content of their character and not the color of their skin? That would be silly.

Love the hype but we all know Clyburn has picked the VP for Biden Why not just name it ? The empty vessel Biden has no say

Это страдания старого расиста?

this isnot good idea,he should take beter elizabeth warren waho talk for everybodyinclusief blacks,bernie as vice president was best but he did wrong saying he wilse;ecty a woman as vice president ,it is not about colour black while or else oit is who talk for all americans

ABCaustralia How many tall chairs & desks did the ABC use before I wrote The Posture Theory 1980-99. You are preventing illness in your wealthy TV hosts & saving money on health care costs, so why don't you show some gratitude & tell the public I did all the research behind it

Woke politics will be the death of this election. They have this President on the ropes but they keep failing to go for the knockout.

Before he decides, shouldn't we clarify what color Liz Warren is now?

What a sad joke this country is becoming....

He will lose in the debates
