One of the top pollsters for the Democrat Party, Stan Greenberg, believes Senator Elizabeth Warren would help presumed Democrat nominee Joe Biden “the most” if she were to be picked to be his running mate.
Earlier this month, Greenberg briefed top Biden campaign officials on two battleground surveys conducted by his firm and the conclusion on who will help the most was blunt: “Sen. Warren is the obvious solution.”
From Politico:
Biden’s biggest problem, Greenberg said, is that the Democratic Party has not unified behind him. In fact, Biden is now behind where Clinton was with Bernie Sanders voters in 2016, with more than 20 percent of the democratic socialist’s backers saying they would not vote for him, even as 87 percent of them pledge to vote for a Democrat for Congress. At a similar point in the 2016 cycle, roughly 15 percent of Sanders voters said they wouldn’t vote for Hillary Cllinton and Greenberg’s own polling through Democracy Corps around Election Day found the same.
“They lean towards the Democrats, but Biden’s not getting their votes yet,” Greenberg told POLITICO.
Potential left-wing voters on Twitter were not so convinced. One with the Twitter handle Joe Biden NEEDS a Black Woman VP claimed that “black voters” already let it be known with their votes that they “do not trust Warren.”
She said that “An all white ticket is a mistake.” She had doubts about how in touch the pollster is with the electorate, saying that he is “pushing an all white senior citizen ticket, when this moment calls for diversity.”
Once black voters had a say, we let it be known with our votes we do not trust Warren.

We’re once again saying it loudly. An all white ticket is a mistake‼️ This pollster is pushing an all white senior citizen ticket, when this moment calls for diversity. #VoteLikeBlackWomen https://t.co/9XYxffRZBf
Another Biden supporter who believes he should pick Kamala Harris called Greenberg, “clueless.” She asked Politico to “please talk to Black and Latinx people, this man has no clue what we want or need in a VP.”
This is the pollster who is telling folks in the Biden campaign Warren should be VP. Politico please talk to Black and Latinx people, this man has no clue what we want or need in a VP. Sick of this shit. pic.twitter.com/xyWlQp31Qu
