Bernie Sanders saying “in all likelihood” he would pick a woman as his—during a heated Sunday night Democratic presidential debate taking place amid the burgeoning coronavirus pandemic.
"I commit that I will, in fact, pick a woman to be vice president. There are a number of women qualified to be president tomorrow,” said Biden, adding, “I would pick a woman to be my vice president." Biden also said he would nominate an African American woman to the Supreme Court, calling it “long overdue” and that “it’s required they have representation.”
Sanders, however, said he would “in all likelihood” choose a woman as his vice presidential pick, which was not as firm a guarantee as Biden’s. earlier that former Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Kamala Harris and former Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams were the top vice president picks for She The People, an influential organization for women of color.“My cabinet, my administration will look like the country and I committed that I will pick a woman to be my vice president,” said Biden.
