By Christina Zhao – Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice has made her case for why she should be picked by presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden to serve as his running mate.
In a PBS interview transcript, shared with Newsweek before its airing on Friday, Rice tells Firing Line host Margaret Hoover that she is “humbled and honored to be among the extremely accomplished women who are reportedly being considered” to become Biden’s vice president.
“I want to help enable [Biden] to become the next president of the United States in any way I can and to support him if he wins in any way I can, because I believe that’s what is vitally important for the future of our country.”
If Biden wins against President Donald Trump in the November election, America would see its first woman elected to federal executive office.
In addition to Rice, others on the list of potential candidates for Biden’s VP includes former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, California Senator Kamala Harris, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
