Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden recently commented on his latest efforts to choose a 2020 running mate.“It’s really important that whomever you pick as vice president agrees with you in terms of your philosophy of government and agrees with you on the systemic things you want to change,” he stated.
In a recent interview with CBS News, Biden confirmed the events of the last two weeks have not impacted his vetting process for a potential vice president pick. He went on to say if anything, the nationwide unrest has put a greater focus and urgency on the need to choose someone who is on the same page as him.
The former vice president said he is looking for a fellow candidate that is “going to be someone who is not intimidated by the president and is not intimidated working in the White House.” Furthermore, he wants them to be prepared “to give their unvarnished opinion” and be able to privately argue with the president if they disagree.
Biden is reportedly planning on announcing his running mate on August 1.
