This article lists potential candidates for the Democratic nomination for Vice President of the United States in the 2020 election. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive nominee for President of the United States, will choose his running mate at some point before or during the 2020 Democratic National Convention. Biden has promised to select a woman, which would mark the third time in United States history that the vice presidential nominee of a major party would be a woman, after Geraldine Ferraro (1984) and Sarah Palin (2008).

Selection process

At the March 15, 2020 Democratic primary debate between former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Biden committed to selecting a woman as his running mate.[1] At that same debate, Sanders stated that he would likely do the same, but did not pledge to do so.[2] Biden became the presumptive presidential nominee after Sanders dropped out on April 8,[3] though the Democratic ticket will not be officially nominated until the 2020 Democratic National Convention in August 2020.

Assuming Biden follows through on his pledge, his running mate would become the third woman to be the vice presidential nominee of a major party in United States history, following Democrat Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and Republican Sarah Palin in 2008.[4] If the Democratic ticket wins the 2020 election, Biden's running mate would be the first woman serving as Vice President of the United States on January 20, 2021.

In addition, Biden has indicated that he will make his selection on the basis of shared political beliefs and past experience. He has noted that his selection will likely be younger than he is and that he will likely pick someone who is "ready on Day 1 to be president."[5]

On April 30, it was announced that the vetting committee would consist of Lisa Blunt Rochester, Chris Dodd, Eric Garcetti, and Cynthia Hogan.[6]

In late April, it was reported by CNBC that donors were pressuring Joe Biden against picking Elizabeth Warren as his running mate and were encouraging the choice of other candidates purportedly on his list, such as Senators Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.[7]
