Clyburn: Biden Should Pick An African American Woman For VP [View all]
House Majority Whip James Clyburn said he wants former Vice President Joe Biden to choose an African American woman as his running mate if he receives the Democratic nomination.
“I really believe that we’ve reached a point in this country where African American women need to be rewarded for the loyalty that they’ve given to this party,” Clyburn told NPR.
“So I would really be pushing for an African American female to go on the ticket,” Clyburn added.
Clyburn named several African American women politicians who he believes could be potential vice president picks for Biden, including California Sen. Kamala Harris and Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams.
Clyburn also referenced Reps. Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Val Demings of Florida and Karen Bass of California as potential choices, as well as Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
