New York Times article about Susan Rice who could be the next Vice-President. I like this person. I hope she gets the job.

Considering a Biden-Rice ticket

Joe Biden said this spring that he hoped to choose a vice-presidential nominee by Aug. 1 — which is Saturday. His advisers now say that deadline could slide, partly because he does not need a running mate until the Democratic convention, which is scheduled to start Aug. 17.

But a fairly consistent short list of candidates has emerged. The top of that list appears to include three senators (Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Duckworth), two House members (Karen Bass and Val Demings) and one person who has never held elected office: Susan Rice, President Barack Obama’s former national security adviser.

As The Times’s Alexander Burns — who has just written a story on Rice — told me yesterday: “Rice’s strengths as a V.P. candidate say so much about the strange and scary kind of campaign we’re in. In a normal campaign, Democrats would probably be deeply wary of choosing someone who’s never been shouted at by voters in an unruly town hall meeting. But there aren’t going to be unruly town hall meetings because of a terrifying pandemic, and Rice has a profile that seems to convey seriousness in that context.”
