With Biden having already announced that his running mate will be a woman, it wouldn’t be surprising if Trump – who is the epitome of politically unconventional – decides he would benefit from a female running mate as well.

Pence has also been noticeably quiet of late as the President comes under immense criticism for not only the pandemic response, but also for his response to the protests that have swept the nation in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
