在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻中,马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦在民主党选民中被认为是民主党候选人乔·拜登的最佳副总统候选人投票周日发布。
大约71%的民主党选民表示,在女性政治家的名单中,沃伦应该被视为拜登的竞选伙伴。加州参议员卡马拉·哈里斯以59%的支持率落后于第二;前佐治亚州州长候选人史黛西·艾布拉姆斯以50%的得票率位居第三;明尼苏达州的参议员艾米·克洛布查尔以49%的得票率位居第四。
哈里斯、沃伦和克罗布查在今年早些时候退出竞选之前,都曾与拜登竞争民主党提名。他们都支持他当总统。
伊利诺伊州参议员谭美·达克沃斯、美国前总统国家安全顾问苏珊·赖斯和密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默紧随其后,分别获得30%、29%和29%的支持率。
沃伦也是民主党选民中的最高候选人,36%的人认为拜登应该选择她作为副总统。这位马萨诸塞州参议员明显领先于她的女同事。约19%的人认为拜登应该选择哈里斯,14%的人认为拜登应该选择亚伯拉罕,13%的人认为拜登应该选择克洛布查尔。
在潜在的副总统人选中,沃伦在白人民主党人和自由派人士中领先。她也是民主党黑人选民中亚伯拉罕和哈里斯的前三名,也是温和派选民中克劳巴克和哈里斯的前三名。
4月28日至5月1日,哥伦比亚广播公司新闻调查了2200名居民。误差幅度是正负2.5分。
新闻周刊联系拜登的竞选团队寻求评论。这个故事将会随着任何评论而更新。
拜登曾担任奥巴马的副总统,奥巴马是第一位非洲裔美国人的总司令。他承诺在华盛顿举行的三月民主党辩论中提名一位女性副总统作为他的竞选伙伴,这给了民主党选民另一个与他一起创造历史的机会。
自从3月5日结束总统竞选以来,沃伦已经表示,如果拜登向她提供这个职位,她会接受。本月早些时候在MSNBC的一次露面中,这位进步的参议员告诉主持人雷切尔·玛多,她会同意这位假定的民主党候选人,因为“我们都想要同样的东西”。我们希望这个国家运转起来,我们希望它为每个人服务。”
沃伦说:“他是一个心地善良的人,这是我们需要的一个领导者——一个稳重、有准备、但最终不仅关心自己,而且关心其他人的人。”。“这将帮助我们度过危机,这将帮助我们重建这个国家。”
2020年3月5日,马萨诸塞州剑桥市,民主党总统候选人参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和丈夫布鲁斯·曼宣布,她将退出总统竞选,因为媒体不在她家。
ELIZABETH WARREN LEADS AS DEMOCRATIC VOTERS' VP CHOICE FOR JOE BIDEN, POLL SAYS
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts ranked as the top vice presidential pick for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden among Democratic voters in a CBS News poll released Sunday.
About 71 percent of Democratic voters said Warren should be considered as Biden's running mate among a list of female politicians. Senator Kamala Harris of California trailed behind in second with 59 percent; former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams came in third with 50 percent; and Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota followed in fourth with 49 percent.
Harris, Warren and Klobuchar all ran against Biden for the Democratic nomination before dropping out of the race earlier this year. They have all endorsed him for president.
Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth, former U.S. National Security Advisor to President Barack Obama Susan Rice, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer followed Klobuchar with 30 percent, 29 percent and 29 percent respectively.
Warren was also the top candidate for the position among Democratic voters, with 36 percent saying Biden should pick her to be his vice president. The Massachusetts senator is significantly leading her female colleagues. About 19 percent said Biden should pick Harris, 14 percent said Biden should pick Abrams and 13 percent said Biden should pick Klobuchar.
Of the potential vice presidential choices, Warren led among white Democrats and liberals. She was also in the top three picks among black Democratic voters with Abrams and Harris, as well as the top three among moderate voters with Klobuchar and Harris.
The CBS News poll surveyed 2,200 residents between April 28 and May 1. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 points.
Newsweek reached out to Biden's campaign for comment. This story will be updated with any comment.
Biden—who served as vice president for Obama, the first African American commander-in-chief—offered Democratic voters another chance to make history with him by committing to name a female vice president as his running mate during the March Democratic debate in Washington D.C. A Biden 2020 presidency would see the first woman elected to federal executive office.
Since ending her presidential campaign on March 5, Warren has already indicated she would accept the position if Biden offers it to her. During an appearance on MSNBC earlier this month, the progressive senator told host Rachel Maddow that she'd say yes to the presumptive Democratic nominee because "we both want the same thing. We want this country to work, and we want it to work for everyone."
"He's a man who has a good heart, and that's what we need in a leader — someone who is steady, who is prepared, but ultimately who cares not just about himself, but cares about everyone else," Warren said. "That's what is going to gets us through a crisis, that's what is going to help us rebuild this country."
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), with husband Bruce Mann, announces that she is dropping out of the presidential race during a media availability outside of her home on March 5, 2020 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
