Amy Klobuchar sparks Biden vice president rumours after slip of the tongue at rally

Amy Klobuchar had a slip of tongue when speaking to a crowd of supporters, suggesting she might be Joe Biden's pick for vice president.

The Minnesota senator was speaking at a campaign rally for Mr Biden on Saturday in Michigan when she sparked the rumours.

"I could not think of a better way to end my candidacy, as hard as it was to do with our beloved staff and everyone else, than to join the tick–" she's heard saying to the crowd.

It sounded like Ms Klobuchar wanted to say the word "ticket", hinting she could join Mr Biden as his vice president pick.

A tad premature to talk about VP picks in my opinion.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Maybe. Maybe not. Could have been planned to grab headlines. So that the REAL announcement, when it comes, is a complete surprise.

This is a very exciting time!

Joe Biden is inevitable. He's our nominee! The party has rejected the Socialist and now it's time to rally around Vice President Biden. I'm very much looking forward to hearing who he's chosen to be his running-mate.



Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

I don't know if she'll get it, but Biden could do worse. Amy's a tough competitor and would enhance the ticket.

However, it's up to Joe Biden to decide, and he will.

I expect Biden to choose a woman of color.

With the huge support he's getting from the African American community,
he kind of owes it to them.

And I'm guessing it won't be any of the names we see mentioned in DU.

In my humble opinion.

He needs someone qualified, experienced, and ready to be president in a 'heartbeat'.

... and it is only my opinion, I hope he looks for a running mate outside the field of candidates who ran for the Democratic nomination. Here are are the reasons I have formed this opinion.

1. There are some candidates who I believe will bring little or nothing to his campaign.
2. There are several candidates that would better serve the country, and themselves by staying in the positions they now hold.
3. There are several candidates who would be ideal choices for key positions in a Biden Administration.

No, I will not assign names to these reasons. That's another can of worms.

There is plenty of time for Joe to decide, but right now I am looking hard at Val Demmings as his running mate. This choice may change as I delve deeper into other possibilities. Fire away.

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
