Biden To Al Sharpton: VP Committee Looking At ‘Significantly More Than One Black Woman’
Daily Wire, May 2, 2020

During an interview on MSNBC between far-left activist Al Sharpton and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, Sharpton talked about the nature of Biden’s vice presidential selection committee, and observed how no African American woman has ever been the running mate for a presidential candidate.

“The sensitivity, I think that we have, is that whomever is selected, that black women be clearly seen as qualified to be vice president,” said Sharpton.“You understand the sensitivity of the issue, even though you’re not prepared to pre-empt your committee in terms of what you will do. You’re not ruling out a black woman.”

After Sharpton gave Biden the floor, the former vice president remarked that he understands Sharpton’s concerns, and assured him that his committee was considering more than one African American woman for the job.

“I assure you that of the more than a dozen women that they’re taking an initial look at, there are significantly more than one black woman that’s going to be considered by this group,” said Biden, who later remarked that his prospective administration would represent “every hue and color in the country in almost a proportional sense.”
