With the race for the presidency beginning to pick up steam, Joe Biden is close to picking his running mate in the 2020 election. At a presidential debate in March, Biden pledged to pick a woman running mate as his Vice-President. While early reports floated names such as Senator Amy Kobluchar and Stacey Abrams, more official statements have announced a general shortlist of reported top contenders for the position. All five of these potential candidates have endorsed Biden for president.
