Is Warren an easier target for Trump? Sure, he’ll accuse the ticket of being lefty, but he’s doing that already and it doesn’t work. “Left-wing” isnt intrinsically terrifying to voters these days - it’s not 1984 - and besides, Biden is a known quantity. https://twitter.com/michaelpreston/status/1291542519164088322?s=21

On the other hand, there’s an attack that HAS worked for Trump, in 2016, that Biden is obviously vulnerable to: that Democrats are hopelessly compromised neoliberal globalists, in hock to Wall Street. This works because progressives feel dispirited about both sides and stay home.

Here’s the thing: WARREN AND WARREN ALONE helps Biden avoid this accusation. All the other VP contenders leave Biden wide open to accusations of being yet another Clintonite neoliberal.

(Biden himself is clearly aware of this, tacking left since getting the nomination!)

People panicking over Biden being perceived as a lefty are forgetting 2016 and reverting to a mindless DC tic where “extremism” is the only sin. But Clinton didn’t lose because she was seen as top left-wing, she lost because the left never trusted her. And Trump exploited that.
