Biden's running mate announcement pushed back, likely will not come next week

WASHINGTON – Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, previously said the announcement of his running mate would be in the first week of August.

But that announcement has been pushed back.

A source familiar with the process said that an announcement isn't likely next week. According to the New York Times and CNN, the announcement will come the week before the Democratic National Convention, which is scheduled for Aug. 17 to 20.

Three candidates, Karen Bass of California, Sen. Kamala Harris of California and former national security advisor Susan Rice, have emerged as the top contenders for Biden's running mate, according to the reports from the Times and CNN.

Harris, who ran for president in the 2020 primary, emerged as an early favorite to be Biden's vice presidential pick. However, over the past several weeks, Bass has been moving up Biden's list along with Rice, according to CNBC.

This whole Veepstakes Soap Opera is PR shtick to get Biden visibility without him giving much in the way of speeches.

Biden’s VP ‘Short-Lister’ Karen Bass was Organizer for the KGB/Cuban-Intelligence Founded Venceremos Brigades

“In the mid-1970s, California Congresswoman Karen Bass, who is now under consideration to be Joe Biden’s running mate, was an organizer for the Venceremos Brigade… An event blurb in an October 1975 issue of the communist Daily World newspaper describes Bass, then 22, as “leader of the Venceremos Brigade in southern California….As a ‘brigadista’ and then organizer for the Venceremos Brigades, Karen visited Cuba every 6 months.” (Tablet magazine, 7/28.)

Sumthin' tells me that the powers-that-be who will actually MAKE the choice (not ol' white Joe) cannot agree on any of the above.

Biden boxed himself in with the statement that his pick would be "a woman of color". I wonder if "those who make the choice" will over-rule Joe with someone non-female and non-colored who actually can be (and will be) president...?

BTW, I think if the choice is Harris, that Mr. Trump ought to IMMEDIATELY attack her all-out on not being qualified per "natural born citizenship".
It's time to settle this issue once-and-for-all with a definitive ruling from the Supreme Court. One way or the other -- get it resolved.

Bigun, you be a "big fool".
Don't you understand that these days, a revelation like that is a "career plus" for a democrat-communist candidate...?

Yeah! But those are votes I'm not ever going to get anyway.
