The Race for Vice President is On

In This Article:

Potential nominees are in ABC order.

Stacey Abrams

Stacey Abrams was the Democratic nominee for Governor in Georgia back in 2018. She lost to Brian Kemp by just over 50,000 votes. Abrams didn't concede and claimed the Kemp was intentionally barring certain groups from voting. Abram has never held national officer or statewide office, only being a state representative. Critics say she isn't experienced enough, but Biden has said he could see her as his VP.

Tammy Baldwin

Baldwin is currently a senator from Wisconsin. She is more progressive than the moderate wing of the party and she is the first LGBTQ woman to be in the senate. Baldwin comes from a state that Trump won in 2016, and she recently won re-election in 2018. Baldwin would become the first gay vice presidential nominee ever.

Catherine Cortez Masto

Cortez Masto currently is a Senator from Nevada. She is the head of the powerful Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. What does that mean? She brings a large list of donors and fundraisers who can donate cash to the Biden campaign. Cortez Masto is also latina. This could help Biden with a group he underperformed with during the Democratic Primary.

Kamala Harris

Pundits seems to think Harris will be Biden's pick for VP. Harris is a Senator from California and ran for President during the primary season. She comes from a large Democratic state and has ties between the moderate and progressive wings of the party. Harris proved to be a strong debater and comes from a wealthy Democratic donor state.

Amy Klobuchar

Senator Klobuchar dropped out and endorsed Biden right before Super Tuesday. She is currently a Senator from Minnesota and comes from the more moderate portion of the party. She comes form a midwestern state the Trump nearly won, so she might have the touch to get voters in the Rust Belt to voter for Biden. She had some strong performances in debates and can gold her own.

Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren ran for the Democratic nomination as well during the primaries. Warren is younger than Biden, but is still 70 years old. She is more progressive than Biden as well, and something she would balance out the ticket between the moderates and the progressives. Biden might choose her to get more progressive voters.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
