Biden campaign spox says Axios article on possible Biden Cabinet picks is "laughable speculation"

That comment is from Andrew Bates, director of rapid response for Biden.

Tweet from Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Epstein:

Link to tweet

Biden campaign’s @AndrewBatesNC responds: “This is like fantasy football for politics, and no one who actually works on this campaign and is engaged in getting Joe Biden elected has the time to play. It is laughable speculation and should only be treated as such.”

This is the ridiculous Axios article he's talking about:

https://www.axios.com/joe-biden-cabinet-vice-president-picks-b17882ac-3953-450f-8afb-38a3c8dcda57.html

It's sheer nonsense. Just clickbait. But, predictably, it has Sanders supporters in an uproar on Twitter.

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

My guess is Biden will not even hint at a VP pick until the primary is officially over its dust settles.
