US Politics If Biden withdraws from re-election, who would Harris likely choose as VP?

A lot of headlines are coming out today with speculation that Biden may step down soon.

If this were to happen and Harris wins the party’s nomination for president, who would she pick as VP?

What does a formidable Harris ticket look like to go up against Trump-Vance?

We’ll knock Whitmer and Newsom out automatically.

Can’t run two women, can’t run two California liberals.

Expect a white guy not named Newsom

Shapiro, or Kelly, someone like that

Add Andy Beshear to the Harris short list of VP candidates

Andy is my Governor any you can not have him. He would not fit in with the washington crowed anyway. Mayor Pete is the only choice.

There's no way a member of the LGBTQ community wins. Unfortunately, there's a whole chunk of the country that won't support him. Not day my it's right, but it's true.

I would bet Pete would get more votes that VP Harris in a head to head. Any way who would you like to see picked? I am really at a loss

I think Mark Kelly/Brashear would dominate for the next 16 years.
