Klobuchar, seeking VP spot, scrambles to fix relations with black community
Sharpton said in an interview he is not"anti-Amy Klobuchar," but he cited concerns about her prosecutorial tenure, including the Burrell case. He said the issue could compound criticism of Biden's record on criminal justice.The day after ending her campaign, Klobuchar met with Burrell's family. Two days later, she sent a letter to the current county attorney calling for"an independent investigation and an independent review of the case.
"I think for her she understands that she has to shore up that support because African Americans are a considerable constituency," said Martin, the black journalist who said he was snubbed by Klobuchar during the primary contests. But he contended there would be a"visceral" reaction against her by black voters if she becomes Biden's running mate, and"I think it's going to make it real hard for her to be the VP choice.
For some activists pushing Biden to choose a black woman for his running mate, Klobuchar is an even less welcome choice than other white prospects. Klobuchar missed a deadline to provide the Black Women's Roundtable Public Policy Network with answers to a presidential candidate questionnaire, answering it only after she was publicly criticized, said Melanie Campbell, who runs the organization.
