Chuck Todd is NBC News' chief political analyst and the former moderator of 'Meet The Press.'
Let’s start by noting that it’s a rare vice presidential pick that actually moves the needle all that much in a presidential race. The most solid proof of this theory came in 1988, when the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee, Lloyd Bentsen, seemed light years more qualified for the job of VP than GOP nominee Dan Quayle. Bentsen even landed one of the more decisive debate knockdowns of the television era: “I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine.
Privately, the Biden campaign is relieved the pick wasn’t Rubio, who they worried would be an asset in helping campaign more effectively with Latinos, in particular, in places like Arizona and Nevada. Both Rubio and Burgum would have been harder to pigeonhole as MAGA acolytes. The fact that The Wall Street Journal endorsed Burgum sort of tells you how un-MAGA he seemed to people on the right.
