'He'll pick the right person'

Duckworth, who has been floated as a potential running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, told Bash she believes Black women are "a key to the victory for Democrats" when asked if the former Vice President should choose a Black woman as his running mate and said he will pick "the right person to be next to him."
"I think Joe Biden needs to make (up) his own mind and will make (up) his own mind. I don't think it's on any of us to dictate to him -- he knows best who he needs as a vice president, who can help him connect with the American people, who can help him overcome the crises that we're operating under right now," she said. "He'll pick the right person to help him do that. "

Former national security adviser Susan Rice, who has also been suggested as a potential pick for vice president, echoed the message on Sunday and said she would use her experience to help Biden get elected.

"I've worked on multiple campaigns, presidential campaigns. I've been on the campaign trail as a surrogate and I'm going to do everything I can to help get Joe Biden elected and to help him succeed as President, whether I am his running mate or I'm a door knocker. I don't mind," she told Andrea Mitchell on NBC's "Meet The Press." "I just want to get Joe Biden elected and see the Democrats control the Senate and retain the House."
