Factbox: Biden will soon pick a running mate. Here are the front-runners

- Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden is expected to announce his running mate ahead of his party’s national convention that kicks off on Aug. 17.

Harris, 55, is widely viewed as a favorite. She is a battle-tested former presidential candidate and ex-prosecutor who has shown an ability to go on the attack - a valued asset for a running mate. A first-term senator from California, she has already been heavily vetted by the media and rival campaigns.

A Black woman, Rice could help drive the African-American vote, the Democratic Party’s most loyal constituency. But she has never run for public office, which means she would be untested on the campaign trail. But concerns have been raised among Democrats about past remarks by Bass seemingly honoring Cuban dictator Fidel Castro - statements she has now disavowed - and her membership as a young activist in a group that supported the Cuban revolution. That could make a Biden-Bass ticket vulnerable in the key swing state of Florida, which has a large Cuban-American electorate.Biden has said Demings, 63, an African-American congresswoman from battleground Florida, is on the shortlist for running mate.

The senator from Illinois is a combat veteran who lost her legs when her helicopter was shot down in Iraq in 2004. She went on to become the first woman with a disability and the first Thai-American elected to Congress. Duckworth, however, has not been on the forefront of civil justice issues like Harris, Bass and others on Biden’s list.

Really? Cause we will soon be at the polls...

a bit reads like: Senator Kamala Harris Following widespread protests over racial injustice & police brutality, pressure increased on Biden to choose… a cop? Harris… who urged criminal penalties for parents of truant children as District Attorney of San Francisco, fits the bill

Will he be replaced?

Running mate? Sleep walking mate is a better choice of words. He is a nice man but as a president, US will get a much needed sleep. Our enemies will look forward to that.

It's like a nursing home version of The Bachelor.

Trump 2020

Good Evening ADOS

Ah yes. Susan Rice who requested in a letter to the UK Foreign Sec that he continues to allow GCHQ to spy on Trump after he had been elected with Obama’s connivance of course. Rotten to the core.

The moment he announces her name, she's going to get a torrent of bot storm/russian trolls/Cosplaytriot Covidiots banging away at her on every social media. I say enjoy the anticipation. It's decided, and I look forward to her debates with Pence.

He should pick an Afro Asian Native American Trans Latino. Come on man, it’s a no brainer

Fact is he’s chosen one already three months ago. But he keeps forgetting who it is.

How can something that HAS NOT happened yet be a fact? EnemyOfThePeople

What's with all the hype get on with already 🤣

He is incapable of picking anyone. He is done mentally.

Soon? He was supposed to do that on August 1.

lol...define 'soon'

AndrewYang

GET ON WITH IT!

He has said this for the past 2 weeks?

i bet biden can’t wait to see who he picked!!

Trump bests Biden in July fundraising but money gap between the campaigns has essentially closedPresident Donald Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee bested presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his party's national committee's fundraising haul in July, but the money gap between the two camps has essentially closed. Joe could buy himself a really nice retirement community with that kind of money. Why stop stealing government money? I see what you did there?

Wonk wonk and we will re-elect Trump If lockdowns continue destroying employment at this rate. Yes. Biden will win. Especially if Biden manages to avoid debating.
