We might as well get it out of the way first: Joe Biden has said again and again that he’s been looking at women of color (“significantly more than one,” actually) to fill his VP slot, and with Elizabeth Warren he’ll be getting someone who’s 1/1024th Native American. That is, if he picks Warren, and NPR Politics is saying she’s emerged as a “top contender” — probably because she shares Biden’s “moderate” platform.
Elizabeth Warren has emerged as a top contender to become Joe Biden's running mate because of her policy credentials and ability to excite progressive voters. https://t.co/hq4i7jnS4q

Have you been talking to @Slate?

Have you noticed what percentage of the vote she’s been getting in recent primaries? 1-2%. How does that translate to excitement?

No thanks.

Hot take from NPR?
— sunde white (@sundewhiteart) July 2, 2020
I know you're NPR and everything but this definition of "excite" is a stretch even for your torpid and narcoleptic listeners

Yeah, because what we really need right now is more ancient white career politicians running things. Because they've done so much during their decades of public service.

Warren excites progressives? Since when?

“Excite progressive voters” L.M.A.O.

Gross.

Zero chance he picks her

Weird as the Warren I saw on the primary trail was confused or outright duplicitous with every policy position she attempted to convey.

How terrifying.

How did we all know they would still settle for the old white one.

Literally no one right now is talking about ‘exciting progressive voters’ as a road through swing states. This article is more shameless grandstanding by her surrogates. NPR is either being used or pushing the author is pushing their own agenda.
— John Wellington Ennis (@johnennis) July 2, 2020
This would be a disaster. Like worse than Hillary’s VP pick type of disaster. #Facts
— Sneakerhead (@ObiwanShoenobi) July 2, 2020
That’s what her people told the person who wrote this article. It’s a tiresome claim that does not jibe with what the Biden campaign has been saying. Warren is handling this poorly.
— John Wellington Ennis (@johnennis) July 2, 2020
Lol. Donors say no & he will lose the minority vote. Let it happen.

@SenWarren could not even win her own party's primary in her own state!
— CaliforniaWeed (@californiaweed) July 2, 2020
Yea she really did a great job exciting progressives when she got wrecked in her own state lol
— ?Chris Holmes? (@CHolmes87) July 2, 2020
There's not enough wampum in the world to get me to vote for her.

She's a clown. Go Trump!
— JustinCredible36 (@ToddaBurd) July 2, 2020
Wonder why NPR is floating this now? And how much of the story did Warren’s campaign write?
