On April 19, 2018, the US Senate adopted a new law that allows its members to take their young children into the Presidential Boardroom during the voting process.

Law No. 463 was issued specifically for Senator Tammy Duckworth, who had given birth to a new daughter a week ago, to participate in the important voting of members of the Council.

The image of the senator and her child had a profound impact on millions of Americans who followed that historic moment, when Duckworth had never been a member of the Senate by putting a child on the job.

It was not the first time that Duckworth made a new history, as her entry into the Majlis set an important precedent as a combat woman who lost her legs in the battles of her country's war in Iraq.

She also became the first female member with special needs to use a wheelchair or industrial legs elected for this high office to represent Illinois, the fifth largest state in the US.

The distinction of Senator Duckworth led to many voices calling for candidate Joe Biden to choose him as his deputy on the Democratic Party card against President Donald Trump and his deputy Mike Pines in the November elections.

However, these calls, which were widely welcomed, are simultaneously met with strong opposition for various reasons.

The advantages of choosing Duckworth: Duckworth
is a living example of sacrifice, honor and humility, characteristics that Democrats believe President Trump does not enjoy at all, and she is considered one of the most anti-Trump female candidates through her position in the Senate.

She has a record that combines old and middle ideas, is 52 years old, her ethnic background and her experience are strengths that reflect the changes that the Democratic Party has experienced in recent decades.

Duckworth has reached the rank of Army Pilot Lieutenant Colonel and lost her legs during combat service in Iraq, making it an option that is supported by an emotional and moral feeling, in addition to that it will be a strategic choice at the same time especially for voters from the millions of Pentagon workers in addition to veterans, categories that mostly vote for the party Republican.

For his part, New York Times writer Frank Bruni believes that Duckworth, unlike the other Biden vice presidential nominees, has ascended politically with calculated, natural steps toward her position.

"How can Trump or Pines attack the record of a female hero like her?"

Duckworth was elected to the House of Representatives for two four-year terms, before running for the Senate and winning a seat in Illinois in 2016.

But it is not only her political ascension that qualifies her for the position, but also her heroism and the story of her life and how she overcame her affliction, making it an example for millions of Americans who are looking for an exceptional female example.

Duckworth not only served a female soldier, but also went up to become a helicopter pilot, which is not an ordinary traditional job for women. When she was flying near Baghdad in early 2004, her plane was struck by a missile that left her between life and death.

Duckworth does not belong to the Democratic Progressive Left in the Democratic Party, which may worry the party's traditional trend, and the Progressives do not combine it with any ideological clashes that make them equate to it.

Some believe that Biden should choose a left-leaning candidate like Elizabeth Warren, in order to reassure the progressive young voters who have great doubts about Biden himself.

On the other hand, Duckworth's ethnic background is an additional attraction. She was born in Bangkok to an American father and a Thai mother, and if she is nominated, she will be the first Asian American to participate in the presidential elections throughout American history.

The story of Duckworth's life is a story of struggle, which ranged from a poor childhood that included selling flowers in the streets to going to university and then obtaining a masters degree in international relations from George Washington University, before joining the army.

Duckworth believes she can tighten President Trump in a way that none of the other female candidates for Vice President Biden can do.

Cons:
Many US election experts believe that the best option when Biden selects a deputy is to relate to his mandate, and whether he can guarantee victory in one or more swing states.

Illinois - represented by Duckworth in the Senate - is not a swing state - on the contrary, it is guaranteed to Democrats.

This suggests that Biden should choose a female candidate from a swing state such as Florida, Pennsylvania, or Michigan.

On the other hand, some believe that the 2020 presidential election is not related to the identity of Biden's positions and personality, but rather as a referendum on President Trump, and the identity of Biden's deputy will not make any difference in the outcome of the presidential race.
