Rhodes recalled Rice ending her days meeting in her office with some staff, and “those sessions would usually evolve into wine drinking and blowing off steam.” Biden would swing by some of them, “and you kind of got the sense he could get the gossip." https://t.co/rzxJTN8wMY — PolitiTweet.org

To many Dems, Biden’s veep search has doubled as a public audition for his administration, casting a spotlight on a small group of Dem women already being talked up for alternate roles. Rice, for example, is also seen as a potential sec/state. https://t.co/rzxJTN8wMY — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: They sat across the table in the Situation Room and had regular seats in Oval Office briefings. Now, Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee and Susan Rice is a finalist to be his running mate. A look at their past and why it matters, w/@karendeyoung1: https://t.co/rzxJTN8wMY — PolitiTweet.org

No more regime change wars, no mention of fracking, less military funding, a study of reparations and a shout out to M4A supporters, among other nuggets. @michaelscherer on the new Democratic platform. https://t.co/BpM1CLKnvJ — PolitiTweet.org

"Maybe 20 years [ago], having somebody like he said, ‘simpatico,’ that might have been enough." "That’s not enough in the moment that we’re in right now." Biden under growing pressure to break from an old playbook in the veep search. W/@WaPoVanessa: https://t.co/rMGea9h0Um — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, what's with the birds? This is at least the second time Biden has given a speech with loud audible birds in the background. Perhaps it's a function of doing outdoor speeches (a safer bet in a pandemic) to smaller audiences. — PolitiTweet.org

-The influence of Sen. Elizabeth Warren is clear in this plan. She released "A Plan For Economic Patriotism" and the Warren/Biden teams consulted closely on this, per ppl with knowledge of the situation. https://t.co/Xf0kUfnbJC — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Sullivan @WaPoSean

-Much of Biden's speeches continue to focus on/hammer Pres. Trump. Today was no exception. And it makes political sense considering the mood of the country and opinions about Trump right now. If/when those moods change, it's worth watching to see how/if Biden's rhetoric does. — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Sullivan @WaPoSean

-Also important to keep in mind that many on the left have remained skeptical of Biden, despite his rhetorical shifts in recent weeks. They say they want to hear more specifics -- today they got some. Worth watching how they respond. https://t.co/nsGOrzYkt3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Sullivan @WaPoSean

A few takeaways from VP Biden's economic speech: -He sounded a lot of populist notes. Lots of talk about protecting workers and Main Street versus the "wealthy investor class" and "bankers and CEOs." Reminiscent, in that respect, of the speeches Sen. Sanders gave. — PolitiTweet.org

Notable Trump campaign statement that goes after Duckworth -- not opponent Joe Biden. Duckworth, a potential running mate, has articulated a position on statues that Biden has not. This shows what a running mate who does not align with Biden on some issues would likely face. https://t.co/9Xcuw9RdQ1 — PolitiTweet.org
