CNN reports Michigan governor #GretchenWhitmer is now in the top three of candidates, along with #KamalaHarris and #SusanRice and #KarenBass is not.
*This is for Joe Biden& #39;s running mate.
Interesting point: W. Kamau Bell says on CNN just now that Biden is basing his decision too much on his relationship with Barack Obama, and not on what is best for the country. #VP
A private flight from South Bend, IN to Delaware today is raising speculation #MayorPete Buttigieg has met with Joe Biden, and that the meeting was serious enough for it to be in-person.
While Biden has promised his running mate will be a woman, it raises the possibility Buttigieg could play a different role in a Biden administration.
Again, this is all speculation. For all we know, the passenger on this flight could not have been Buttigieg.
