As Joe Biden considers whittling down his VP list, the behind-the-scenes jockeying has already begun. gdebenedetti reports
Staying home – and also mulling his big choice. Photo: NBC News/Youtube On Sunday afternoon, nearly two weeks into his self-imposed isolation at home in Delaware, Joe Biden joined a private conference call for 72 donors from the Atlanta area.
In chats with advisers and outside allies, he’s been loosely outlining the criteria that are now most important for him. “The reason why it worked for Barack and me so well is we agreed substantively on every major issue. We disagreed on some tactical ways to approach the issues,” Biden said on the call. “So it’s going to be important that whomever I pick is completely comfortable with my policy prescriptions, as to how we move forward.
The lockdown may have also sped up Biden’s timeline while he and his campaign wrestle with their somewhat new, entirely uncomfortable reality: a likely nominee shoved far from the spotlight, with no obvious way into it.
But that would still be a relatively loooong version of the list. Even some of the officials on that roster believe the real group under consideration would probably end up much smaller, according to Democrats close to several of them who said they were flattered, but eye-rolled at the speculation.
