Voters weren’t the only ones who didn’t like Big Chief Elizabeth Warren. Biden’s Democratic donors don’t like her either and are begging Biden not to pick her:
CNBC – Big money donors are pressuring Joe Biden to not choose Sen. Elizabeth Warren as his running mate, even while the centrist former vice president tries to appeal to progressive voters.
Biden and his team, according to people familiar with the matter, have heard from many donors in the business community about who they think would be best to be chosen as his vice presidential nominee.
Those conversations have recently included attempts to push the campaign away from picking Warren and encouraging the choice of other candidates purportedly on his list, such as Sens. Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Many Biden contributors spoke on the condition of anonymity as these conversations, both with Biden and among his associates, were in private.
“I think a lot of the donor base, on board and coming, would prefer almost anyone but Elizabeth. I don’t see him choosing her for veep” said a longtime fundraiser for Biden who is regularly in touch with him.
“She would be horrible. He would lose the election,” said a Wall Street executive who was once backing others running in the Democratic primary and later joined Biden’s donor ranks.
I have a feeling out of those three choices listed above, Biden would pick Kamala Harris, because she’s both black and a woman and Biden needs all the help he can get to win in November.
But I don’t think any of them are going to help him all that much. Both Harris and Klobuchar struggled in the primary elections and Whitmer has become increasingly unlikeable as this pandemic has revealed her fascistic tendencies.
I have no idea who would help Biden most, but I seriously doubt it’s any of these women.
