Aimee Allison of She the People, which describes itself as “a national network connecting women of color to transform our democracy,” used no uncertain terms to implore Biden to look elsewhere for his running mate — specifically in the direction of a woman of color.
“The Biden campaign just made a dangerous and reckless choice,” Allison said in a brief statement emailed to the media on Thursday afternoon following the announcement that Klobuchar was being vetted.
Allison didn’t name anybody who she feels would be a better choice than Klobuchar, but some of the most popular names of women of color being considered for Biden’s vice presidential running mate include California Sen. Kamala Harris and for Georgia State Rep. Stacey Abrams.
Picking Klobuchar could be seen as a slap in the face to voters who have been demanding Biden pick a Black woman for his running mate.
