Among Rumored Vice Presidential Candidates, Warren Would Give Biden the Biggest Boost

[JonLP24]

Electorate is split on the Massachusetts senator, but she would help Biden with minorities, voters under 45

26% say placing Warren on the ticket would make them more likely to vote for Biden; 23% say it’d make them less likely.

Her positive impact on Biden increased among black and Hispanic voters and those under the age of 45.

Several potential running mates lack name ID at an early stage in the process.

1. Kamala Harris for VP

[SoonerPride]

2. Surpisingly she doesn't poll as well among African Americans

The numbers and polling data are conclusive on this.

17. Not surprising at all

Harris’ record as a prosecutor — which she pitched as a strength in a potential matchup with Donald Trump in the general election, but swung back and forth between emphasizing and deemphasizing as her campaign went on — also bothered some black voters, especially black men.

3. And Warren should be the candidate, because of that.

Period.

4. Susan Rice! n/t

5. Versus 4 more years of nothing but awful BULLSHIT?

"If he picks _____ I'm going to vote for the super corrupted asshole instead?"

I know I know, no vote at all option or 3rd party stooge to make a point voting....

I just don't understand this choice at all, there is none, fire this group of hoodwinking corrupt jackasses?

Byedon 2020!

7. I know the feeling he could pick anyone

Except a Trumpie and get our vote.

That said I love Liz and would be excited if he picked her.

6. I would love to watch the VP debate.

with the sentient houseplant freaking out because he would be on stage alone with a woman without his mommy present. LOL

14. LOL

Sentient houseplant

15. :) I started calling him that after this...

8. Funny how polls are trying to drive the pick

there are lots of things that do not work.


age is the biggest factor.

[Green Line]

9. Our Republican Governor is the biggest factor

There would be a special election, but if Charlie Baker decides to run himself, he'll win, there goes a Dem seat. It's way too dangerous to take a chance.

And, she finished 3rd in her own state.

10. It's strange that all of them hurt him with voters over 45 except Amy K.

But Warren helps the most. The good news is that she's a mostly good debater and a decent campaigner. Also, she will bring a lot of enthusiastic supporters.

12. Biden's poll numbers took off when older voters turned on Trump

So if this poll is indicative of a strength that is unique to Klobuchar, that’s a major point in her favor.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. No, not Warren

Cabinet pick? Yes.
VP? No way.

[PBC_Democrat]

13. Not a Great Choice ...

Do we really want a ticket with an average age of 74?

If either of them gets anything more serious than a head cold it'll make the ticket look far too vulnerable.

FWIW, I think selecting a woman is a good idea but it was a terrible decision to exclude 50% of the population from consideration.

There has to be some dynamic, exciting Attorney General or Representative that can energize the under-50 crowd.

16. I wouldn't give

a ton of weight to polls on something like this.

People are actually not great at saying how they would act in a hypothetical situation. It's the same reason why a candidate usually polls lower before they win a nomination rather than after. People who might say they would not support a particular candidate "come home" when they actually become the nominee.

18. What do swing state polls say?

National polls are irrelevant.
