WILL ACCEPT THE PARTY'S
NOMINATION NOW IN JACKSONVILLE
FLORIDA AFTER MOVING THE
CONVENTION OUT OF NORTH
CAROLINA.
MEANTIME THE SPECULATION
CONTINUES ABOUT THE POSSIBLE
VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK FOR
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, JOE BIDEN
IN RECENT WEEKS, THE FORMER
VICE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN VETTING
POTENTIAL CONTENDERS. SOME
NAMES THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED
OUR SENATORS KAMALA HARRIS AND
ELIZABETH WARREN AS WELL AS
FORMER GEORGIA STATE REP AND
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE STACEY
ABRAMS ATLANTA MAYOR KEISHA
LANCE BOTTOMS AND EVEN ILLINOIS
SENATOR TAMMY DUCKWORTH JOINING
US RIGHT NOW TO TALK ABOUT THAT
AND MORE SUZANNE SHOT ASSOCIATE
PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
AT NORTH CENTRAL COLLEGE.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, IT'S
BEEN A WHILE YEAH GOOD TO SEE
YOU BOTH NICE TO SEE YOU OK SO
THE PRESIDENT SAID SKEWS ME THE
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SAYS
THAT HE WANTS TO PICK A WHO'S A
WOMAN, A FEMALE DO THE CURRENT
EVENTS YOU THINK THAT A BLACK
WOMAN SHOULD BE THERE AND SAID
A WHITE WOMAN AND LET ME ASK
YOU THIS HOUSE MAJORITY WHIP
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES CLYBURN
SAYS THAT'S NOT A MUST BUT A
PLUS WHAT YOU THINK.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN SO
INTERESTING TO WATCH ALL THIS
UNFOLD WITH THE VP PICK.
YOU KNOW BEFORE SOME OF THE
MOST RECENT EVENTS THERE'S BEEN
A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT NEW
THE MISS CERTAIN
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WOMAN
THAT ITEM BE LOOKING FOR SAYING
HE'S GOING TO APPOINT A WOMAN
OF COURSE I THINK NOW IS THE
TIME FOR THE PARTY TO TAKE A
STAND AND SAY THIS IS WHO WE
ARE IN THIS IS THE DIRECTION
WE'RE GOING AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT
THAT IS SHOWING THAT DIFFERENT
TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HAD
ACCESS TO A REPRESENTATION EVE
HIGH LEVELS OF OFFICE IT'S TIME
FOR THEM TO HAVE THAT
REPRESENTATION, IT'S A GOOD
ROLE MODEL OF FACT IT SHOWS
THAT THE PARTY VALUES IT CAN
MOBILIZE GROUPS OF VOTERS AND
IN SOME WAYS COULD EVEN MAKE
THEM THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT
JOE BIDEN INCREASES POPULARITY
AND HELP HIS CHANCES TO WIN.
SO THIS IS ALWAYS AN IMPORTANT
PICK THAT PERHAPS EVEN MORE SO
THIS YEAR GIVEN JOE BIDEN'S AGE
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WATCHING
THIS CAREFULLY.
IT'S ALSO POURED AN
ENERGIZED A CAMPAIGN. WHAT DO
YOU THINK BIDEN NEEDS THE MOST
WITH THIS PICK.
AND THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
I MEAN THE RESEARCH TELLS US
THAT THE VP PICK TYPICALLY
DOESN'T HAVE A LARGE EFFECT ON
TURNOUT OR WHO WINS BUT YOUR
POINT I THINK THIS YEAR IS
DIFFERENT. I THINK WITH BIDEN
SAYING HE'S ONLY GOING TO SERVE
ONE TERM WHO HE CHOOSES COULD
IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE THE
PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE IN 2024 AND
SO THAT'S A CAREFUL PICK FOR
THE PARTY TO THINK WHO DO THEY
WANT TO REPRESENT THE PARTY
MOVING INTO THE NEXT CYCLE.
I THINK KICKING A WOMAN OF
COLOR IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
WHEN WE LOOK AT HOW VOTERS CAN
BE MOBILIZED GO TO THE POLLS
AND WAYS TO GET IT DONE FOR
HILLARY CLINTON BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY IT REALLY IS BIDEN
NEEDS TO PICK SOMEBODY THAT
EMBODIES THE FUTURE OF THE
PARTY WHAT DOES THE PARTY STAND
FOR WHO CAN GET BEHIND THE AND
WHAT POLICIES ARE WE LIKELY TO
SEE BECAUSE BACK SO DO YOU
THINK IT SHOULD BE A NEW FACE A
FRESH FACE I MEAN WE FROM THE
GEORGIA.
GOING TO TRIAL CANDIDATE
STACEY ABRAMS HAS BEEN VETTED
WE KNOW THAT ELIZABETH WARREN
HAS BEEN VETTED WE KNOW THAT
SENATOR TAMMY DUCKWORTH HAS
BEEN VETTED BUT WE ALSO HAVE
HEARD SOME OTHER NAMES LIKE GOD
GRETCHEN WHITMER FROM MICHIGAN
AND ALSO SUSAN RICE OBAMA'S
FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY
ADVISER.
SO I THINK WE WE TAKE A
LITTLE BIT A CUE FROM 2008 WHEN
JOHN MCCAIN PICKED SARAH PALIN
THAT WAS A HUGE OVERTURE TO
TOUCH WOMEN TO TRY TO GET THEM
TO TURN OUT FOR HIM AND WE SAW
THAT EXPERIENCE BACK AND SO I
THINK HERE IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW
LONG YOU SERVED WHERE YOU
SERVED NECESSARILY BUT IT'S
THAT CAN YOU DEMONSTRATE THAT
YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE
NECESSARY TO COME IN AND THEN
POTENTIALLY COME INTO THE OVAL
OFFICE 4 YEARS LATER, I THINK
THE WOMEN OF THIS YOU JUST
MENTIONED ALL HAVE THAT YOU
KNOW STACEY ABRAMS IN
PARTICULAR BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T
CARRY A LOT OF US FEDERAL
POLICY BAGGAGE WITH HER BECAUSE
SHE HASN'T SERVED IN FEDERAL
OFFICE BEFORE I THINK SERVES
HER WELL IN THIS AND SO I THINK
THAT ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
THINGS IS TO BE EVEN IF IT'S A
FRESH FACE WHICH I THINK IS
IMPORTANT THE FUTURE OF THE
PARTY IS SOMEBODY WHO HAS THAT
EXPERIENCE TO COME IN AND SHOW
THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
DOING RIGHT WAY AT THIS POINT
WHO DO YOU THINK DECIDES THIS
ELECTION WHICH BLOCK OF VOTERS.
OH MY GOSH, SO IT'S A GREAT
QUESTION AND WHAT THAT WITH THE
POLLS ARE TELLING US THAT IT
WAS STATES EARLY TO PUT A LOT
OF STOCK IN POLLS. BUT I THINK
WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW THAT A
LOT OF VOTERS HILLARY CLINTON
DIDN'T DO AS WELL WITH 2 TWEETS
WHICH TO TRUMP BIDEN TOO MUCH
BETTER WE SO OLDER VOTERS WILL
VOTERS NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED
WHITE MEN, THOSE ARE THE BREAD
AND BUTTER OF AN ELECTION AND
WITH BITING DOING BETTER THAN
THEM IT FREES UP IF REASONABLE
LITTLE BIT THEN WE LOOK AT THE
FOR EXAMPLE, HE PICKS A PERSON
OF FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE YOU
KNOW HAVE THOSE RACIST
TENDENCIES HAVE THAT HOSTELRY
SAYS THE MEN ARE ARE NOT
EXCITED ABOUT THAT. REASONABLE
LITTLE THERE AND I WOULD JUST
ADD THAT WHILE WE KNOW THAT
BLACK VOTERS TURN OUT FOR
DEMOCRATS IN TURNOUT IS MUCH
LESS COUPLE OF ELECTIONS AND
HAVING A WOMAN OF COLOR TO BE
HIS BP COULD THEN MOBILIZE
THOSE VOTERS AND TIPPED OVER
THE EDGE AND BIDEN'S PAPER YOU
MENTION SARAH PALIN WE KNOW HOW
THAT TURNED OUT WITH MCCAIN'S
CAMPAIGN. HOW IMPORTANT IS
VETTING YOU KNOW A LOT OF
PEOPLE SAY THAT HE SHOULD HAVE
VETTED SARAH PALIN LITTLE BIT
MORE HOW IMPORTANT IS HIM TO
FOR HIM TO VET.
THESE VP CANDIDATES.
IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
RIGHT WE WE KNOW THAT I WOULD
JUST GO BACK A BIT TO SAY
YOU'RE JOHN MCCAIN WAS THINKING
OF PICKING JOE LIEBERMAN
REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE SPENT
A LOT OF TIME GETTING HIM WHEN
IT TURNED OUT THAT WASN'T GOING
TO BE THE CASE THAT HE SORT OF
HAD TO QUICKLY QUICKLY THAT
PALIN DID MISS A LOT OF STUFF
THERE AND I THINK A LOT OF
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES HAVE
LEARNED FROM MAX. I THINK
ESPECIALLY IN THE TIME OF
SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING LIVES DIGGING
THROUGH AND FINDING THINGS
PEOPLE HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY
POSITIONS THEY HELD IS
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT CAUSES
THINGS ALWAYS COME BACK OUT ALL
RIGHT. SUZANNE CHA, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SO SHE PROFESSOR OF
POLITICAL SCIENCE AT NORTH
CENTRAL COLLEGE ALWAYS
WONDERFUL HAVING YOU. WELL,
THANKS GUYS TAKE CARE. BYE.
