Tamron Hall conducted an exclusive interview with Andrew Gillum following his stint in rehab. The segment notes that Gillum was once considered a potential Vice Presidential pick for the 2020 election. Speculation arises regarding whether Gillum's downfall was orchestrated to clear the path for other candidates, such as Kamala Harris, within the Democratic Party hierarchy.

Kamala Harris made history as the first woman and person of color to serve as Vice President, yet her specific policy portfolio remains undefined. Unlike Mike Pence's lead on the coronavirus task force, Harris appears to be shadowing Joe Biden rather than spearheading a singular initiative. Observers note her background as a prosecutor and presidential candidate positions her as a potential "lightning rod" for the administration's more aggressive political maneuvers.

Joe Biden officially announced Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate, describing her as a "fearless fighter." Critics argue the pick is antithetical to recent protest movements given Harris's record as a prosecutor who targeted non-violent offenders and parents of truant children. The hosts discuss the political alignment between Biden and Harris regarding Wall Street and Hollywood interests.

Charlamagne tha God uses the term "economic justice" during his MSNBC interview, which the hosts identify as code for reparations. Charlamagne also pushes for a black female vice president, specifically signaling support for Kamala Harris. The hosts question how a black vice president would provide more "tangibles" than a black president did.

Stacey Abrams is identified as a top contender for Joe Biden's vice presidential pick. The discussion highlights her unusually public and "naked" pitch for the position, where she openly declares her qualifications in interviews. Her membership in the Council on Foreign Relations is noted as a sign of her being groomed by political elites despite her loss in the Georgia gubernatorial race.

The hosts analyze an interview where Nina Turner is asked if she would serve as Biden's VP, calling the exchange "orchestrated" and "bad acting." They argue the segment was designed to elevate Turner's profile and place her in the national conversation. Despite the theater, they conclude that the Biden camp would never actually pick her due to her "truth-teller" reputation.

Roland Martin discusses a poll by Black Pack suggesting Joe Biden's chances increase significantly if he selects a black woman as his running mate. The hosts note the immediate transition in the media from the Obama endorsement back to the "VP stakes." They argue that Obama has "lost his magic" and that the black woman VP pick now holds more perceived power within the Democratic Party.
