As a non-partisan exercise in seeing who might be pushing hardest to be Vice President Biden’s VP nominee, I took the pinned tweets, or if there was no pinned tweet, the most recent tweet, as of 9:22 AM Wednesday May 20.
Mike Pence’s latest Tweet is included for comparison.
Who looks like they’re pushing for the role?

I’m proud to endorse @JoeBiden for President.
Here he is comforting me on 1/4/17 just after my mother passed away. There is no one kinder, more empathetic and caring than @joebiden. He will lead America with the same deep compassion and decency. pic.twitter.com/4IBscj75VN— Susan Rice (@AmbassadorRice) March 2, 2020

I am a descendant of slaves, who knew that they would not make it, but dreamed and prayed that one day I would make it.
So despite America’s complicated history, my faith is in the Constitution.
I’ve enforced the laws, and now I write the laws. Nobody is above the law. pic.twitter.com/hzS9BkfOLp— Rep. Val Demings (@RepValDemings) December 12, 2019

This pandemic is a test of our faith in our founding doctrine of “We the People.”
If we focus on the we—and think about the many not just the one—then we can save lives & beat this virus.
It’s up to each one of us to act in a way that protects all of us.https://t.co/P301HWmbrd— Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) March 25, 2020
