Predictable choice for a host of obvious reasons. Plus, from what I can gather, Wall Street likes her because she hasn't been as harsh on financial firms during the debates when compared to some of the other choices (although she did openly discuss funding health care reform in part with taxes on financial institution transactions). Silicon Valley loves her because she's been involved in those fundraising circles for years and while she supports increased regulation on privacy protection which will undoubtedly cut into the untold billions those companies make, she hasn't openly supported the breakup of Big Tech (Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft), which is something that has garnered bipartisan support from the likes of Elizabeth Warren and Ted Cruz in recent years and will undoubtedly come up in the coming years.
With that, big business and Silicon Valley are more likely to throw support Biden's way with her on the ticket than if he had gone with Klobuchar.
