Representative Karen Bass, Potential Vice Presidential Running Mate of Joe Biden

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 30: Representative Karen Bass (D-CA), who is one of the possible candidates for Joe Biden's Vice President, stands for a portrait in her office at the Rayburn House Office Building on Thursday, July 30, 2020. Bass worked as a community organizer in South Los Angeles in the 1990s and early 2000s. As speaker of the California Assembly during the great recession, she had to make ideological compromises that led to deep budget cuts to social programs, which she has described in interviews at the time as deeply painful.
