African-American activists are escalating their efforts to persuade former Vice President Joe Biden not to name Sen. Amy Klobuchar as his running mate, arguing he needs to choose someone who would excite black voters. That situation appears to be turning up the volume on calls for Biden not to choose Klobuchar. And earlier this week the presumptive Democratic nominee noted that “multiple black women [are] being considered” for vice president. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison -- who is black and who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primaries -- tweeted, "@amyklobuchar thank you. Biden – who served for eight years as vice president under President Barack Obama -- has long enjoyed strong support in the African-American community.
