Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, has been asked by the Biden campaign to undergo vetting as a possible, potential Vice Presidential candidate for the Democrat ticket in November. Earlier this week, CBS News, The New York Post, NBC News, and a slew of others all reported on this move by the Biden Campaign.

Klobuchar is the senior Senator from Minnesota having held the seat since 2007 as a member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Minnesota's affiliate of the Democratic Party.

As a former candidate for the Democrat Party Presidential nomination Klobuchar -
Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar says she no longer believes English should be the national language of the U.S., disavowing a vote she took more than a decade ago as she tries to build support in a state where Hispanics make up a critical constituency.
Changed her mind after 10 years and a vote for the initiative. Why the answer is in the last sentence.

Senator Amy Klobuchar argues that so-called ‘dreamers’ – children brought to this country by their illegal immigrant parents – are “our future.” The comment, made during Wednesday night’s presidential debate, marks yet another ‘moderate’ in the Democrat party pushing for blanket amnesty for illegals enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Here’s another instance where the mainstream Democrats have no grasp of the concept of illegal, regarding immigrants. DACA has no legislative standing as it was created by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a temporary program, and at the time then-President Obama called it a temporary stopgap measure. Now eight years later and the United States is still burdened with this program.
Moving to more current Klobuchar utterances -
Senator Amy Klobuchar told her Republican colleagues that they’d suffer the “wrath” if they don’t concede to Democrats’ demands to fund vote-by-mail elections.
Klobuchar wants the next coronavirus relief package to include funding for states to conduct and document vote-by-mail ballots in the upcoming election.
“Everyone should have that right, and we should also use this funding to make sure polls are open 20 days in advance and that we train a new generation of poll workers,” she said. “We must make this election safe for Americans.
Not exactly a bipartisan statement from a potential VP candidate. Also, as we’ve written previously the current coronavirus pandemic legislation should have nothing to do with the November Election. Klobuchar and her fellow Democrats are pushing the notion that there needs to be wholesale changes to our election system to save us all from the perceived horrors of COVID19 by voting in person.
Now is not the time to be making wholesale changes to our voting system.
