Wall Street Big Donors Urge Biden to reject Warren as VP. Prefer Harris or Klobuchar.

This surprises NO ONE
The fear of a 70 year-old white woman apparently very real...

Big money donors are pressuring Joe Biden against picking Elizabeth Warren for VP: ‘He would lose the election’

Big money donors are pressuring Joe Biden to not choose Sen. Elizabeth Warren as his running mate, even while the centrist former vice president tries to appeal to progressive voters.

Those conversations have recently included attempts to push the campaign away from picking Warren and encouraging the choice of other candidates purportedly on his list, such as Sens. Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

“She would be horrible. He would lose the election,” said a Wall Street executive who was once backing others running in the Democratic primary and later joined Biden’s donor ranks.

Warren herself hasn’t stopped since her campaign ended. She’s putting out one solution after another after another, organizing endlessly and writing legislation with colleagues from both Senate and the House in how to solve the catastrophic economic collapse that we’re all experiencing. She’s started Warren Democrats and is now endorsing and fundraising for down ballot progressives and Joe Biden as well. The woman is a machine.

Anyway the article goes on to mention that Joe Biden is pushing back on anyone who has issues with Warren. Well considering she polls the highest from all the VP options along all demographics, is the most popular female democrat and is the best grassroots fundraiser and coalition builder…..hmmm.

There are some signs, however, that Biden is shrugging off anyone vocalizing discontent with Warren. He is plowing ahead with appeasing progressives who backed her campaign while possibly looking to bring her into the fold. The Washington Post reported that Biden’s team hired two of Warren’s fundraising advisors and channeled some of the Massachusetts senator’s progressive views at a virtual donor event last week.

“Look, you know Wall Street is – they’re good folks. But guess what they didn’t build America. Ordinary Americans, middle class built America,” Biden said, while noting that he believes the pandemic has shown “the institutional racism, the institutional difficulties that are set out there for ordinary people.”

Another move that suggests Biden is trying to appeal to Warren and fellow progressive, Sen. Bernie Sanders, is his appointment of longtime advisor Ted Kaufman to help put together a presidential transition team. During his short stint in the Senate, Kaufman introduced an amendment to the 2010 Dodd Frank reform bill that could have cut down the size of a few of the big banks. It failed to pass in the Senate. Still, some progressive activists are happy that Kaufman, a Wall Street critic, is assisting in crafting a group of advisors for Biden.

It’s becoming clearer every day we live through this coronavirus catastrophe that Elizabeth Warren is still nonstop fighting for us everyday with policies that should help us with this human and economic disaster. I’m not the only one noticing Sen Warren endless persistencies. In a recent VP poll she won the plurality.

In the article at today.yougov.com/…

Vice President Joe Biden, the current frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president, said he’s going to pick a female running mate.

It’s a popular idea. Four in five (80%) Democratic voters approve of his commitment – 74 percent of male and 84 percent of female Democratic voters, according to The Economist/YouGov Poll, the first since Biden made the pledge on the Democratic debate stage in March.

One woman emerges as a clear choice: Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren draws the most spontaneous mentions when Democratic voters are asked to volunteer a choice for vice president, and she is also at the top of the list when Democratic voters are asked to choose among the four women most frequently mentioned as vice-presidential candidates and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Warren leads in every age group, and with both men and women. She is well ahead with liberals, while moderate and conservative Democratic voters have no clear favorite. Warren had been the most popular of the Democratic candidates when Democratic voters were asked their overall opinion of the candidates in Economist/YouGov Polls.

That is still true, though now Biden, the frontrunner, also scores high favorability among Democratic primary voters. About three-fourths (74%) of Democratic primary voters have a favorable opinion of Warren, and a similar number (73%) have a favorable opinion of Biden.

Americans want @ewarren to be @JoeBidenÃ¢ÂÂs vice president. This is not complicated. We want the expert woman to be NEXT IN LINE to the most powerful position on earth during a crisis that is going to bring unforeseen chaos for the next few years. PERIOD!!!! https://t.co/wKtxrYEKi9 pic.twitter.com/R0moM2mrAg

It’s not really surprising that people want her in the executive. She’s highly effective and seem made for this moment.

Not on policies or positions. But on divisiveness.

People around me are genuinely concerned and in fear. Not fear of Bernie, but fear he’s not going to win, or even if he does win, he’s 78 with a heart condition. These are the conversations I hear from people around me. It’s anecdotal true, but how many people are thinking these things and not saying it out loud?

There is already resignation to another Trump term from those around me. I hear this everyday now: Bernie’s not going to win. America is not going to elect a socialist. Better the devil you know right?

Now you might say it’s just FUD. But then why are the Republicans crossing over in primaries to vote for Bernie only to vote for Trump in the fall? They’re already rigging the primaries in favor of Trump.

www.dailywire.com/…

There are even reports that the Russians are trying to help Bernie.

www.cnn.com/…

The Sanders-Trump electoral map today….was a jolt, though I know things will change. It’s still far too close for such a monstrous president.

www.cnn.com/…

I like most of the candidates and will vote blue in the fall. But I already see people giving up around me.

We need a candidate that everyone likes and will rally behind. It won’t be Bernie.

The forces of Karma always at work.

Bernie is now Hillary.

Perspective People!
