It doesn’t matter who Joe Biden picks as his running mate – somebody will be disappointed. The former vice-president and de facto Democratic presidential nominee on Tuesday said he would make a selection in the first week of August. The selection process has largely been kept secret with as many as two dozen names floating around as potential running mates. Vice-presidential nominees rarely decide elections and the common rule among political operatives is that a candidate should pick someone who does no harm. But in the 2020 presidential cycle, Biden’s selection has added importance. If he wins the 2020 presidential election, Biden has indicated that he may not run for re-election, immediately putting his vice-president into contention for 2024. Biden’s public criteria for the role are that it be someone he feels “simpatico” with, and it be a woman.
