'I think this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket,' Klobuchar said on MSNBC Thursday night. 'If you want to heal this nation right now — my party, yes, but our nation — this is sure a hell of a way to do it.'
CHICAGO — Amy Klobuchar said Thursday that she was dropping out of the running to be vice president and urging Democrat Joe Biden to instead select a woman of color.
"I think this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket," Klobuchar said on MSNBC."If you want to heal this nation right now — my party, yes, but our nation — this is sure a hell of a way to do it." Floyd's death last month set off days of protests across the country and criticism that as the county's top prosecutor, Klobuchar didn't charge any of the officers involved in citizen deaths. Officer Derek Chauvin, who was charged with Floyd's murder, had been involved in one of those cases, the fatal 2006 shooting of a man accused of stabbing people and aiming a shotgun at police.
Even before Floyd's death, activists were pushing Biden to consider a woman of color, saying it would help build a multiracial coalition behind the Democratic ticket and motivate people — particularly younger voters — who may be underwhelmed by the 77-year-old former vice president's bid.
