Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumOur nominee with choose a VP early
Unlike our last two nominees who have won the Presidency ( young and/or minority), it looks like our nominee this cycle will be white and much older. This begs for a running mate that is youthful and or a more accurate representation of our base, a person of color. Two names are glaring. Abrams AND Gillum. Both came within a few thousand votes of winning in southern, conservative states. Better yet, both ran unusually progressive campaigns in those states. To be fair, as someone from the south, even in losing, thier campaigns were extraordinary successes. I think our nominee with choose early and it won't be someone they have shared the stage with.

(11,856 posts)I think a Biden /Bullock ticket with Biden announcing he will only run for one term in order to bring order would be a winner. .
Once said order is regained, we can transition to younger more progressive leaders.
Just one old man's wishful thinking.

(68,586 posts)not to run, you announce it at the end of the term...not the beginning. And consider if folks were looking for young...70+ year olds would not be leading the primary now/people here think that is a good idea...not in the country.

Must have overslept. But, if it's already a done deal...my guess is that he'll choose a white guy who is slightly younger than he is and in the mold of a Joe Manchin type.

(16,110 posts)is Biden as the nominee, his fan club speaks as if it is already done. So, I figured I just missed the entire thing.
