Opinion | While Trump flails with his disastrous coronavirus response, Joe Biden could give his successful but never inspiring campaign a blast of energy by picking a VP candidate now. By anthonyLfisher
Biden's already committed to selecting a woman as his running mate. And given the fact that Biden is 77, this woman will almost certainly be younger than him.
And should social distancing restrictions be relaxed to the point that smaller and more sparsely attended campaign events can be held, this running mate could hit the stops that might be too risky for Biden, who is squarely in the high-risk category for COVID-19. However, Biden's running mate could spend this time laying the groundwork with the Democratic base and skeptical Sanders supporters, assuaging their concerns that the former vice president is a relic of the past and more interested in compromise than in pushing for a more progressive agenda.
