Biden's Veep (odd irony: the TV show had lady veep)
The Post today has an excellent piece by Steve Levingston (their editor for non-fiction book rrviews) on Biden's major short-term task, choosing a runing mate.
"[Biden] has promised to choose a female running mate and perhaps a woman of color. It will be his most consequential act as the presumptive nominee. (All the more so in light of Biden’s advanced age and the pandemic, which has already hospitalized one world leader and most severely attacks older victims.)
"But whoever gets the VP nod will immediately have to lose part of herself to the office. So the question is not just who should stand at Biden’s side, but more fundamentally what kind of vice president she should be."
So, Camalla Harris, Elizabeth Wsrren, Amy Klobachar, or maybe Gretchen Widmer?
