    NEW: Al Sharpton, who talks regularly to Biden, will soon go public w/ his VP desire -- Stacey Abrams. Pelosi pushed Demings/Fudge. Harris has seniority. But some think Biden's pledge for black woman on Supreme Court is an escape hatch for all-white tickethttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/us/politics/joe-biden-vice-president-black-candidates.html …

        In 2016, Booker told HRC that a black VP would help black turnout stay near Obama-levels. She chose Kaine, but debate lives on "The difference between a Cory and Tim Kaine could’ve closed the enthusiasm gap," Minyon Moore, in rare Hillaryland concessionhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/us/politics/joe-biden-vice-president-black-candidates.html …

        The 2020 jockeying is also wrapped up in personal histories. Abrams say-it-in-public strategy is also bc she's not pals w/ southern black leaders. ATLs Reed + Bottoms (a top Biden surrogate) were GA rivals. Clyburn said she does not have enough experiencehttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/us/politics/joe-biden-vice-president-black-candidates.html …

        Donna Brazile, who has known Biden for decades, says if he selects a white woman for VP, “It will be seen as a rejection of viable black women.” “I know that sounds awful, but it’s true." Folks! It's the veepstakeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/us/politics/joe-biden-vice-president-black-candidates.html …

        Exactly! The idea of just one has a “here, take these crumbs and be happy with them” vibe. Not saying SCOTUS is nothing, but why not BOTH???

        I’m in Ohio. Fudge would be dogged for this & rightfully so. She’s not a good pick for VP.

        Why is no one talking about Ayanna Pressley. She was an amazingly compelling surrogate for Warren — esp loved her stump.
