It’s time for Joe Biden to consider forming an electoral alliance with the party-unifying progressive who is already on his veep shortlist: Elizabeth Warren. ed_kilgore writes
A serious ticket for serious times. Photo: Getty Images We’re certainly at a weird, unanticipated, and unprecedented moment in the 2020 Democratic presidential contest. Joe Biden has almost certainly clinched the nomination, but must await a host of postponed primaries or a Bernie Sanders decision to pack it in before he can begin to unite his party and prepare for the convention and the general election. Meanwhile, the context of that general election has radically changed.
Meanwhile, Biden really does need to bring the primary season to an end and unite Democrats, if only because any persistent “struggle for the soul of the party,” however muted, will look irresponsible in a moment of national crisis, particularly since the GOP is in lockstep behind its leader despite his endlessly erratic ways. Yes, he can approach the Sanders constituency in a crabwise manner, accommodating himself to this or that policy proposal.
Only Sanders and his team can decide whether placing Warren on the ticket sufficiently reflects the “ideological victory” they are already claiming for this cycle, but it can and should. And from the point of view of any party faction potentially offended by the choice of a younger veep, placing the 70-year-old Massachusetts senator in this position would not prejudice long-term party leadership. Biden-Warren would be an emergency leadership ticket for perilous times.
