Obama AG ‘Vetting’ Donor Choices for Kamala’s VP
by
Donors pick VP candidates and Obama makes the final pick.
It’s only fair.
Obama and his aides ousted Biden. The Obama team gets custody of the campaign. And its VP. The new one anyway.
In the triumph of democracy that involved ousting a candidate that 14 million Democrats actually voted for, because donors stopped giving him money, donors began financing the vetting of potential veeps even before he was told to step down or eat pillow.
Major Democratic donors are funding a preliminary vetting process for potential vice-presidential nominees should President Biden exit the race, according to four people familiar with the process, suggesting that influential figures in the party are growing increasingly restless and concerned about the time remaining to mount a national campaign.
In recent days, people involved in the effort have contacted the teams of top Democratic figures, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive effort. The donors are also interested in vetting North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly.
