    "Biden under increasing pressure to choose minority running mate amid 'you ain't black' backlash

    Black activists are warning Joe Biden not to pick Sen. Amy Klobuchar as his running mate; Fox News contributor Byron York reacts.

    Presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is facing even more pressure to pick a woman of color as his running mate after his gaffe about black Trump supporters, Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York said Monday.

    “He has already said that he’s guaranteed to choose a woman,” the Fox News contributor told “America’s Newsroom.” “And he’s under increasing pressure now for it to be a woman of color.”

    SEN. TIM SCOTT: BIDEN'S NEW COMMENT ON BLACK VOTERS IS 'MOST ARROGANT AND CONDESCENDING' I'VE HEARD

    York said Biden was “already under pressure” before making the gaffe last week in an interview with Charlamagne tha God.

    “We’ve heard about Kamala Harris, we’ve heard about Stacey Abrams, we’ve heard about Val Demings and he said they are all on his list right now,” York said.

    Biden made controversial comments in an interview Friday morning with “The Breakfast Club,” After host Charlamagne tha God said he had "more questions" for him before November, Biden defended his record with issues affecting black Americans.

    “I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” he said.

    Biden walked back the remarks later the same day, saying: “I shouldn’t have been so cavalier.”

    "I shouldn't have been such a wise guy ... No one should have to vote for any party, based on their race or religion or background," he said.

    But the remarks drew swift criticism from across the political spectrum, in particular from the Trump campaign, which sought to highlight the remarks.

    York said that “it is not good” for Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., that a Politico report revealed that "black activists" warned Biden about her record with African-Americans. The report noted that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., - another on Biden's shortlist - does not face such concerns.

    York said the issues stem from Klobuchar's handling of police shootings from her time as a prosecutor. Overall, York said Biden cannot afford to "alienate" any portion of the minority community if he hopes to win in November."

    He was riding Obama's economic miracle recovery and then he destroyed it.

    Any recovery any time is good, but the UE rate will lag horribly and that is going to cost Trump terribly in November: as it should.

    No, Jimmy, China harmed America’s economy and economies of countries around the world.

    China must be held accountable.

    Is the president responsible for the harm to economies all over the world?

    Think, Jimmy.

    You mean while Democrats we’re running their bogus impeachment scheme?

    What were congressional Democrats busy with? Oh yeah, trying to get rid of the be Bad Orange Man.

    Not that any of that matters as far as a virus is concerned. There was no ‘early’ because of China’s mendacity. The virus was coming here by the plane load while China was trying to ‘keep a lid on things’.

    What that translates into is the COVID virus was already spread and spreading through out the country during the ‘early’ phase when Trump/Congress/CDC/government coulda shoulda woulda.

    Note to Darth Omar followers: seroprevalence studies will show that the COVID virus was here well before Patient Zero was detected in Washington State on 1/15/20.

    Your shrill out of context partisanship leads to your unwarranted conclusions.

    A high market coupled to a high UE in the election cycle will harm Trump tremendously.

    Your comment is BS, and the voters will reject Trump, yes.

    Well I would agree, if he picked her or they did & he was dumb enough to go w/ her.. Had he not had that mill stone tied around his neck he could have possibly won the election......

    Funny, in a sad kinda way, many ppl were concerned that if he died in office she would be the leader of the free world, not to long after we get trump........

    lol. I think that is the reasoning behind the Biden pick. I'm not sure Stacey Abrams is ready to be Leader of the Free World. (?)

    To be honest I really know nothing about her.

    I think Gabby would be my pick, or even Harris, although I never voted for her here either..

    He needs support & Harris was dogging trump yesterday so maybe she is waving her hand pick me pick me...... her dem seat would not change hands if she left..

    Amy is prob the most seasoned & qualified so who know what he'll do.... It better be good after dragging it out this long..lol

    How any black person could vote for him after that, is beyond me.

    Yeah. Agreed. It might have been 'safest' just to say he's going to pick the 'Most Qualified'.
