Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota is dropping out of contention to be Democrat Joe Biden's running mate and is urging him to select a woman of color instead.

Joe Biden’s ad campaign comes as most voters disapprove of President Trump’s response to both the coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests.The third-term senator had to cancel one of the final rallies of her campaign after Black Lives Matter and other activists took the stage in Minnesota to protest her handling of a murder case when she was prosecutor that sent a Black teen to prison for life.Democratic Rep. James E.

“To choose Klobuchar as vice president risks losing the very base the Democrats need to win, most centrally women of color, and could be a fatal blow to the Democrats’ chance to win the White House,” Aimee Allison said in May.Others wanted Biden to choose a more progressive candidate, who could bring in support from voters who backed Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in the primary.

Democrats with knowledge of the process told the Associated Press last week that Biden’s search committee had narrowed the choices to as few as six serious contenders after initial interviews. Among the group still in contention: Warren, California Sen. Kamala Harris and Susan Rice, who served as President Obama’s national security advisor. Warren is white; Harris and Rice are Black.

It was never going to be offered to her anyway this is all posturing...

amyklobuchar you have terrible advisors. I would fire them all.

“Drops out” very kind words

that's a shame because amyklobuchar is, by far, the most qualified to be president.

Now this is what I call racist!!! qualifications not color! This next elections are officially a joke. Stop playing the race card, I want to know other plans and reformers for the next term. Isn’t enough that we have to choose between 2 horrible candidates!

ewarren is extremely qualified but she needs to be eliminated because of her color? Not impressed with Klobuchar.

I would like to see a person who isn’t a “yes” person. Someone who has a level head and emotional intelligence. I would love to see someone with a solid understanding of the issues and who has a vision to take us forward that isn’t Biden’s plan but one that complements his.

This is an astonishing moment.

We really need you as leader in the Senate with your common sense. You are a younger Walter Mondale, thank you

She had ZERO chance after George Floyd was murdered in the street

Color should not matter on a decision like this. It should be the most qualified person.

Self-serving.
