An unmistakable aspect of Biden’s campaign, and one he will likely carry with him to the White House is his small, stable circle of aides who have been with him for years and are intensely loyal to him.
Unlike news out of the Trump White House and the Trump 2020 campaign, very little of Biden’s running-mate selection process leaked to the press, despite the efforts of reporters and activists with grievances, both sincere and performative. “Glad to finally have the veepstakes drama behind us and start beating on Trump instead of each other,” one relieved top Democratic donor texted me after the Biden campaign’s announcement this afternoon. An early candidate was Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who officially took herself out of the running after her prosecutor days came under attack after the murder of George Floyd. Biden made it clear in March that he was committed to running alongside a woman. In that time, countless vice-presidential potentials emerged, and most faded. Biden has effectively been the Democratic nominee for five months. Instead, the 2020 “veepstakes” portrayed Biden as a candidate who takes especially long to make up his mind-then stretches out the process a little longer. If the Democratic National Convention hadn’t been delayed, Biden would have revealed his running mate much earlier in the summer. The pandemic continues to upend every milestone of this election. “In the selection of a vice president, he’s created a deep contrast between the pettiest of men and a man who obviously has no pettiness within him,” Tanden told me, minutes after Harris was announced. Neera Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress, says that Biden’s selection of a Black woman with Indian and Jamaican parents shows that Biden is running a very different campaign than Donald Trump. Biden’s selection of Senator Kamala Harris of California as his running mate-the first woman of color to appear on a major-party ticket-was precisely that sort of careful, drawn-out decision. She said this month that the administration remains committed to working with Guatemala on addressing the root causes of migration.I f Joe Biden is elected in November, his presidency will likely be defined by history-shaping decisions made after long, deliberative, some might say operatic processes. Harris went there in June to meet President Alejandro Giammattei. In El Salvador, President Nayib Bukele has issues with corruption, and has used social media to pick fights with the Biden administration.īiden administration relations with Guatemala started off well.
Other leaders in the northern triangle region have proven difficult to work with. "The reality is that the migration nightmare the United States is facing is because of poor leadership in Central America and the inability for the United States to find partners in the region to address poverty, to address violent crime, to address corruption." Corruption is a major issue in the region "This is an enormously important relationship for the United States," Gedan said. She represents a fresh start for the administration, said Benjamin Gedan, who led Latin America policy in the Obama White House. Latin America Honduran voters want to protest the president.
