When Susan Rice announced her endorsement of Joe Biden's presidential bid, the former National Security Adviser under President Barack Obama shared a photo on Twitter.
"He's seen her not just in good times, but on really hard days," said Valerie Jarrett, a former senior adviser to Obama."He trusts her. He would rely on her wise counsel. He would know that even if he disagreed with her he wouldn't have to worry about whether or not she's a team player. She would be."
"You've got to take all of those agencies and work a problem in a timely fashion so that you feel comfortable making a recommendation to the president," said a former senior Obama administration official."And running that process as efficiently and as thoroughly as she did is a real advantage that she has.""It's not enough to have good ideas or to have the right solutions.
Congressional investigations, many by Republican-led committees, concluded Rice did not mislead the public with those initial statements. Despite that, some Republicans continued to attack her. Earlier this month, in an interview with Fox News, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Rice of"going on Sunday shows and lying."
Biden's campaign is reportedly vetting, among others, Sens. Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, along with Reps. Val Demings of Florida and Karen Bass of California. He's under increasing pressure to pick a woman of color.In comparison to many of the women thought to be under consideration, most have held elected office. Rice has not.
