How Joe Biden's leading VP contenders stack up in the wake of George Floyd's death

Joe Biden's options for his running mate may have narrowed even further in the wake of mass protests across the country in reaction to the death of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer.

As the Floyd protests continue, and the 2020 election five months away, political observers are now paying more attention to Biden's potential running mate as President Donald Trump's response to the crisis comes under fire. The protests have also sparked a new wave of public lobbying for Biden to pick a black woman to be vice president.

poll shows voters believe she would give the apparent Democratic nominee the biggest boost with voters under 45, and blacks and Hispanics.Sen. Amy Klobuchar "It's very bad and not good," an ally of Klobuchar's who was recently pushing her to Biden's team as the ideal choice, told CNBC. "The pickings are slim and this could push Val Demings up," this person noted, who declined to be named as these efforts have been made in private.with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, Klobuchar admitted that, in hindsight, she made a wrong choice not to take on those cases herself as a prosecutor.

Her record came under fire as the state's top cop when she went against Biden and a plethora of other Democrats in the primary. And political strategists believe that her record as a prosecutor may come under siege again in the wake of Floyd's death. "In my view, Biden will satisfy more of the Democratic base by choosing a black woman — energized women of all races and energized black men and women – than he does from a Midwest white woman," said Julie Zebrak, a political fundraiser and Harris supporter.She recently tweeted out a photo of Biden's deceased son Beau Biden in honoring the five year anniversary of his death.

schwartzbCNBC Klobuchar is accountable in George Floyd’s death for not prosecuting the killer cop when she had the chance.

Bravo Biden.

Very weak story. Missing several other potential picks. Needs a redo.

My new President

The MSM at its finest. Take one photo and make the Democratic candidate look Presidental. They are masters

YouAintBlack

The Communist Party of China is the ultimate behind-the-scenes supporter of this American riot

Its time to make all law enforcement Black -that would be a huge social distancing move. Just like pro sports. Let them police themselves. Lets close the door on all the stuff.

Is this the only picture of him outdoors from the last 5 days?
