Trump says ‘some people would say men are insulted’ by Biden choosing woman as VP
President Donald Trump said Joe Biden “roped himself into” picking a woman for his running mate and “some people would say that men are insulted by that.”
“I would be inclined to go a different route than what he’s done,” Trump said on the radio show OutKick with Clay Travis. “First of all he roped himself into a certain group of people.”
“Some people would say that men are insulted by that. And some people would say it’s fine,” Trump added.
[UPDATE 8/11/20: Biden has picked Kamala Harris to be his running mate.]
Biden committed in March to picking a woman as his running mate and is expected to announce who he’s chosen before next week’s Democratic National Convention, The Associated Press reported.
Biden has already interviewed the finalists, The New York Times reported. In contention are Sen. Kamala Harris of California, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, former national security adviser Susan Rice, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Biden is also considering Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, and Reps. Val Demings of Florida and Karen Bass of California.
Biden will accept the Democratic nomination over video from Delaware instead of in-person at the DNC in Milwaukee due to coronavirus concerns, The Hill reported.
Former President Barack Obama and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will speak at the convention the same day as Biden’s running mate, according to the publication.
