Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) announced on Thursday night that she has asked former Vice President Joe Biden to remove her name from his list of potential running mates.
Klobuchar told MNSBC host Lawrence O'Donnell that she called Biden on Wednesday and made her request. Biden has said he will choose a woman to be his running mate, and wants to reveal his pick by Aug. 1. He is still in the vetting process, and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are among those under consideration.
