Klobuchar does not excite me at all, but I think we're underestimating how well she'd perform with the suburban mom demographic. She was getting a lot votes from that middle of the road voter who isn't very vocal, educated and female. Also she did very well in New Hampshire which is very white, but as far as political affiliations go, is a good representative of a lot of states that Biden needs to win. It's a little progressive but a lot conservative too.
Biden already has the suburban vote locked down. It’s why he won the primary.
He needs to give Bernie supporters and people under 40 a reason to care that isn’t just about Trump. Last I checked, less than 1% of that demographic voted for Amy.
Also, Kaine was perceived as a middle finger to progressives by Clinton. I know it was the final straw for me and numerous friends that went on to vote 3rd party.
People may not vote for a VP but they certainly vote based on their perception of how likely a president is to listen to their demographic.
