While speaking with MSNBC’s Joy Reid on “The ReidOut,” Biden said: “I am not committed to naming any (of the potential candidates), but the people I’ve named, and among them there are four Black women.”
Biden went on to say that he is currently getting a “two-hour vetting report” on each of his potential picks, and that he and his team have gone through “about four candidates” so far. “Then, when I get all the vetting done of all the candidates, then I’m going to narrow the list, and then we’ll see. And then I’m going to have personal discussions with each of the candidates who are left and make a decision,” CNN quoted Biden.
The 77-year-old pledge earlier this year to pick a woman for the job. As CNN notes, people rumored to be considered for Biden’s vice-presidential pick include Sen. Kamala Harris of California, Rep. Val Demings of Florida, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, former Obama administration national security adviser Susan Rice and Rep. Karen Bass of California.
“It is important that my administration, I promise you, will look like America,” Biden told Reid on Monday. “From vice president to Supreme Court to Cabinet positions to every major position in the White House it’s going to look like America,” he continued. “It’s critically important that be the case. I can guarantee you that.”
