Biden's going to pick Kamala Harris as VP. How do we know? Because her Wikipedia page has been edited the most.
[quote]In 2016, The Atlantic published an article about Wikipedia edits and how a burst of activity could foreshadow Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick, noting that Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine’s page had seen significantly more edits than any other candidate’s in the weeks leading up to the announcement. The article also cited a 2008 Washington Post report about Sarah Palin’s Wikipedia page seeing more than 65 edits in the hours leading up to John McCain’s announcement.
[quote]Last month, a Reddit user remembered this Atlantic piece and wrote a Jupyter script to see which 2020 vice presidential contender had the most edits in a span of three weeks: Harris had 408, Stacey Abrams had 66, Sen. Elizabeth Warren had 22, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar had four. Another Redditor pointed out that a majority of Harris’s edits were coming from a single person.

Those could just be her own people. I would have that done if I was being considered for VP.

r1 But why would her people be editing so much more than people working for other candidates?
Besides, as The Atlantic found in 2016, the number of Wikipedia edits predicted that Tim Kaine would be Hillary's VP. It seems it's candidates' staff who are behind these edits, it's the Democratic party, one of its branches, or the Biden campaign.

America will never vote for a black woman. It will be somewhat hilarious if Biden wins, has to step down for health reasons (pretty likely, given his age) and is replaced by VP Kamala. An accidental black female US president.
