As Joe Biden readies to make one of the biggest decisions of his political career, he’s leaning on a 76-year-old male colleague from his days in the Senate for help
Dodd complained to a prominent donor that Kamala Harris, the frontrunner in the veepstakes, had shown “no remorse” for tearing into Biden during the first Democratic primary debate last summer.“Chris Dodd” was soon trending on Twitter Monday morning. A chorus of voices asked whether Biden had wrongly empowered an old friend from his time in the overwhelmingly male Senate to steer his potentially historic pick.
But dozens of Democrats — including former aides of VP short-listers, party leaders, former and current elected officials and donors — said their primary contact with the selection team has been Dodd. “He didn’t want to do what [the late Sen.] John McCain did — put some political operative in charge. He wanted a friend. Someone he’s known for 30 years,” said a longtime confidant of Biden’s. “He wants to make sure he doesn’t end up with someone who’s just feeling for his pulse everyday.”
Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who served as Dodd's chief of staff in the 1980s, said the trust factor clearly led Biden to him for the VP assignment.
