What Biden Needs From His VP Pick

· Leave a Comment

Amy Walter: “Biden is in the enviable position of leading this race with less than four months to go. He doesn’t need to convince voters that Trump isn’t doing a good job — a majority already feel that way. What he does need to do is assure them that he isn’t a risky pick. One way to do this is to pick a VP that voters see as capable and experienced enough to take over if he can’t continue to do his job. It’s really not any more complicated than that.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
