Joe Biden is now looking for a running mate for the vice-presidential seat in the upcoming presidential election in the United States in November. As the Democratic nominee for presidency talked about the possibility of Michelle Obama being his VP, will it happen?
In an interview with Pittsburgh's KDKA News, the presidential hopeful revealed he would fulfill his promise to name a woman as his vice president. "I'll commit to it being a woman," he confirmed to the journalist Jon Delano.
Joe Biden saw the importance of making his administration looking like the public and the nation. If the situation permits, he wants a woman of color to join the Supreme Court, but that "doesn't mean there won't be a vice president, as well."
The former senator revealed that his team already began the process of choosing his running mate and promised that they would be announcing the committee he named to do this. Also, he disclosed that he's now looking through the backgrounds of the possible nominees. Would it include Michelle Obama?
According to HollywoodLife, there are a lot of speculations that Joe Biden may choose Barack Obama's wife as his vice president--if she's interested. So when Delano asked if he's open to the idea, he gladly said that he would "take her in a heartbeat."
Joe Biden has been known for being close to the Obama family after serving as Barack Obama's vice president from 2009 to 2017. Barack and Biden are even known for their so-called "bromance" during their time in the White House.
Working for the Obamas for a long time, Joe Biden has nothing but good words for Michelle Obama. "She's brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a really fine woman. The Obamas are great friends," he said.
However, Joe Biden knows that the first African-American FLOTUS has no interest to be near the White House again. The Obama family's confidante, Valerie Jarrett, even supported Biden's claim, saying there's no chance that Michelle Obama would join his administration and be his vice president.
In an interview with The Hill, the Obama's former White House senior adviser explained that Michelle Obama never showed any interest to run for office. She also cleared that she was not objecting the idea, and Michelle was never playing hard to get; she simply didn't want the job.
