More than 300 DNC delegates have signed a statement urging presidential candidate Joe Biden to select Karen Bass, D-Calif., chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, to be his running mate and join the ticket for Vice President.
“We, delegates to the DNC for Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and others, believe Congresswoman Karen Bass is the best choice among Vice Presidential candidates under consideration to help unify our party and move our nation forward,” the statement, first reported by Politico on Friday, said. “We urge Vice President Biden to choose her to join the ticket.”
Republicans have jumped on her political positions on Cuba and have deemed her a “communist,” which is a move that may prove troublesome in the anti-Castro swing state of Florida.
But Bass says that her stance on Cuba “is really no different than the position of the Obama administration.”
Bass accompanied Obama to Cuba in 2016.
