Amy Klobuchar is waging a not-so-quiet campaign to become Joe Biden's number 2 by joining his podcast, raising money and assuming the role of a top campaign surrogate.

The prospect that Biden could pick Klobuchar has generated a fierce backlash from some Democrats, who signaled the senator would be an unacceptable choice stemming in part for her criminal justice record as a county attorney.

That record could resurface as her home state grapples with the death of George Floyd, who died this week in Minneapolis after pleading that he couldn't breathe while a police officer held him down with a knee on his neck. Klobuchar, along with other Minnesota lawmakers, has called for an investigation into his death, and told CNN the case is "just crying out for some kind of a charge." Still, allies point to Klobuchar's work ethic, ability to cut deals across the aisle and attractiveness to some voters in battle ground states make her a quality vice presidential candidate. 📸 Drew Angerer/Getty Images #2020 #JoeBiden #AmyKlobuchar #politics
