The Race for Vice President is On

In This Article:

Potential nominees are in ABC order.

Stacey Abrams

Stacey Abrams was the Democratic nominee for Governor in Georgia back in 2018. She lost to Brian Kemp by just over 50,000 votes. Abrams didn't concede and claimed the Kemp was intentionally barring certain groups from voting. Abram has never held national officer or statewide office, only being a state representative. Critics say she isn't experienced enough, but Biden has said he could see her as his VP.

Tammy Baldwin

Baldwin is currently a senator from Wisconsin. She is more progressive than the moderate wing of the party and she is the first LGBTQ woman to be in the senate. Baldwin comes from a state that Trump won in 2016, and she recently won re-election in 2018. Baldwin would become the first gay vice presidential nominee ever.

Catherine Cortez Masto

Cortez Masto currently is a Senator from Nevada. She is the head of the powerful Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. What does that mean? She brings a large list of donors and fundraisers who can donate cash to the Biden campaign. Cortez Masto is also latina. This could help Biden with a group he underperformed with during the Democratic Primary.

Kamala Harris

Pundits seems to think Harris will be Biden's pick for VP. Harris is a Senator from California and ran for President during the primary season. She comes from a large Democratic state and has ties between the moderate and progressive wings of the party. Harris proved to be a strong debater and comes from a wealthy Democratic donor state.

Amy Klobuchar

Senator Klobuchar dropped out and endorsed Biden right before Super Tuesday. She is currently a Senator from Minnesota and comes from the more moderate portion of the party. She comes form a midwestern state the Trump nearly won, so she might have the touch to get voters in the Rust Belt to voter for Biden. She had some strong performances in debates and can gold her own.

Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren ran for the Democratic nomination as well during the primaries. Warren is younger than Biden, but is still 70 years old. She is more progressive than Biden as well, and something she would balance out the ticket between the moderates and the progressives. Biden might choose her to get more progressive voters.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
