Joe Biden isn’t ready to name a running mate, but he admitted there’s one woman he’d choose “in a heartbeat.” In an interview with KDKA, Biden chuckled when asked if he would choose former first lady Michelle Obama if she expressed interest. “I’d take her in a heartbeat.
She’s brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a really fine woman. The Obamas are great friends,” Biden said of Mrs. Obama, adding that he doubts she wants to live anywhere near the White House again.
In the final Democratic presidential debate, Biden vowed to name a woman as his running mate. In Tuesday’s interview, he stopped short of committing to naming a woman of color as his vice president, but he reiterated his commitment to seeing another join the Supreme Court.
