Former Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden told radio host Charlamagne tha God that there shouldn't be a question of which presidential candidate gets the black vote.
According to NBC News, Biden's vice presidential short list includes Stacey Abrams, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
What are the details?
During a contentious Thursday interview on "The Breakfast Club," Biden intimated that the black community should support him, and not incumbent President Donald Trump, in the 2020 presidential election.
The famed radio host challenged Biden over his contemplation of nominating a black female for his vice president.
"I'm not acknowledging anybody who is being considered, but I guarantee you: There are multiple black women being considered," Biden said. "Multiple."
Minutes later, a Biden aide can be heard interjecting in an attempt to shut down the interview early.
"Thank you so much," the aide can be heard saying. "That's really our time. I apologize."
