According to thehill.com, Senators Kamala Harris (D-California) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) receive a lot of attention, however former US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice made progress in the last weeks as an acceptable option.
Rice, who also served as former President Barack Obama’s National Security Adviser, has seen her stock rise amid a series of crises, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the online newspaper posted.
One factor to watch is Joe Biden’s relationship with Rice. The two officials worked closely in the Obama administration, and personal chemistry is an underrated factor in vice presidential decisions.
«I know they have a good relationship, perhaps the best relationship of anyone on the list,» a source close to the Biden campaign said. «They have known each other for years, they worked alongside each other and she has been tested in a way that a lot of those on the list just have not been.»
