SUCCEED AS PRESIDENT, WHETHER
I’M HIS RINNINGMATE OR A DOOR
KNOCKER.
I DON’T MIND.
>> AND JOINING ME NOW, FORMER
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN DONNA
EDWARDS OF MARYLAND AND JONATHAN
CAPEHART, OPINION WRITER FOR THE
"WASHINGTON POST."
WELCOME, BOTH.
DONNA, IT WAS VERY INTERESTING
THAT THERE WAS NO SHYNESS THERE
IN SUSAN RICE’S ANSWER
SHE PUT HERSELF OUT THERE.
SHE WAS VERY DIRECT ABOUT IT
SIMILARLY, WE’VE SEEN OTHERS
RESPOND THAT WAY
THE "WASHINGTON POST" REPORTS TO
SENATOR DUCKWORTH IS EMERGING AS
A CONTENDER HIGHER UP ON THE
LIST
AND WE’VE SEEN FORMER SENATE
MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID HAS
BEEN IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE
BIDEN CAMPAIGN TALKING IN AN
INTERVIEW A LOT OF ATTENTION
LATELY ON DUCKWORTH.
WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
>> LOOK, I THINK THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY AND JOE BIDEN IN
PARTICULAR HAS AN EMBARRASSMENT
OF RICHES WHEN IT COMES TO
SELECTION FOR A VICE PRESIDENT
I THINK THE BIG ISSUE ON THE
TABLE IS WHETHER IT WAS GOING TO
BE A WOMAN
WHAT WOMAN
WELL, HE PUT THAT ASIDE BY
SAYING THAT HE WOULD CHOOSE A
WOMAN, AND THERE ARE ANY NUMBER
OF WOMEN IN MY VIEW WHO HAVE THE
REQUISITE EXPERIENCE, PLUSES AND
MINUSES AND SO I’VE ACTUALLY
DECIDED NO THE TO GET INVESTED
IN WHO THAT WOMAN SHOULD BE,
BECAUSE I THINK THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING IS FOR JOE BIDEN
TO CHOOSE SOMEBODY HE CAN GOVERN
WITH
NOT JUST SOMEONE HE CAN CAMPAIGN
WITH
BUT HE CAN GOVERN, WITH A GOVERN
AGENDA THAT’S REALLY STRONG AND
MAKING SURE THAT WE PUT THE
COUNTRY ON A PATHWAY THAT ISN’T
JUST ABOUT RE-CREATING THE PAST,
BUT REALLY BUILDING A FUTURE
THAT INCLUDES A FUTCHURE FOR ALL
AMERICANS AND I THINK HE SHOULD
CHOOSE SOMEONE HE CAN WORK WITH
TO GET THAT JOB DONE.
>> AND UNTIL NOW THE
CONVENTIONAL WISDOM HAS BEEN
KAMALA HARRIS FITS THE BILL,
BECAUSE SHE HAS RUN IN A
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN, HAS BEEN IN
THE DEBATES, AND THAT WAS ONE
THING THAT JOE BIDEN SAID HE WAS
THINKING ABOUT
LET’S WATCH WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY
TO NICOLLE WALLACE LAST WEEK
>> I WANT -- DEEP IN MY HEART,
THAT JOE BIDEN WINS THIS
ELECTION, AND I WANT JOE BIDEN
TO PICK WHOEVER IS GOING TO HELP
HIM WIN THE ELECTION AND
WHEREVER I AM, I’M GOING TO
SUPPORT HIM IN EVERY WAY I CAN.
>> JONATHAN CAPEHART, KAMALA
HARRIS IS HIGH ON A LOT OF
PEOPLE’S LISTS, BUT NOT YOUR
AUNT GLORIA LIST
WHAT DOES AUNT GLOR WA WANT.
>> FROM THE VERY BEGINNING SAID
JOE BIDEN WOULD BE THE NOMINEE,
NEEDS TO BE THE NOMINEE.
SHE’S BEEN PROVEN RIGHT.
THERE’S AUNT GLORIA.
THEN EARLY ON SHE SAID.
>> LOVE IT.
>> SHE THOUGHT THAT SENATOR
ELIZABETH WARREN SHOULD BE HIS
RUNNING MATE
WHEN THE BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTESTS FLARED UP INITIALLY IN
LATE MAY, EARLY JUNE, I GOT AN
EMAIL FROM AUNT GLORIA SAYING,
IN THIS TIME, WE NEED TO BE
BROUGHT TOGETHER
I THINK SENATOR HARRIS SHOULD BE
THAT PERSON, BUT IT ONLY LASTED
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND SHE
EMAILED ME BACK SAYING, NOPE
SORRY.
GOING BACK TO SENATOR WARREN
SHE THINKS THAT SENATOR WARREN
WOULD BE A GOOD GOVERNING
PARTNER WITH VICE PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
I HAVE TO SAY IN MY FAMILY, MY
MOTHER ON THE OTHER HAND WANTS
SUSAN RICE TO BE THE VICE
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
SHE LIKES SUSAN RICE
I STILL STAND BY MY ORIGINAL
GOING ON THE RECORD TO SAY THAT
SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS WOULD BE
THE BEST PICK FOR VICE PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
BUT, LOOK, ALL OF THE NAMES I’VE
MENTIONED AND ALL THE NAMES
AAGREE WITH CONGRESSWOMAN
EDWARDS,S THAT AN EMBARRASSMENT
OF ISH ARES HERE FOR FORMER VICE
