Sad to read Pete is out of the race. I hope it is not the last we have heard from him.

And now Klobuchar is supposed to end her campaign this evening.

I believe these "dropouts" could still be selected by the winner to be their VP.
Right?

Definitely. And since Klobuchar is going to TX to endorse BIden, it wouldn't surprise me if he picks her.

There are a lot of pluses for the "unsuccessful" presidential candidates. All of them have achieved a lot of recognition by running.

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden were already well known and recognized, but even they will now be written up in the history books for this campaign if they fail to win the presidency. Less well known candidates will find that they have their pick of jobs or chairmanships (depending on whether they are mayors or US Senators). Some, like Hillary Clinton, may be offered positions like Secretary of State.
Vice-President is not the only consolation prize that a "failed" candidate can receive.

I suspect he would do better with a woman of color. Kamala Harris has been mentioned as a possibility.

I would love to see Harris as VP, but Klobuchar couldn help in the mid-west more than Harris, I think.

With Biden at the top of the ticket, the mid-west would not be a problem area.

You wouldn't think, but after the last election they seem more unreliably democratic than, say, the west.
