Amy Klobuchar says she is dropping out of the running to be vice-president and urging Democrat Joe Biden to select a woman of colour instead. Biden had already committed to choosing a woman as his running mate. "I think this is a moment to put a woman of colour on that ticket," Klobuchar said on MSNBC. Biden praised Klobuchar in a tweet Thursday, citing her "grit and determination" and saying, "With your help, we're going to beat Donald Trump." Elizabeth Warren, left, and Kamala Harris, senators who ran for president but dropped out, are reportedly still in consideration to be Biden's running mate.
