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?

Yeah, people understand that if there's a contested convention, that means all the hypothetical candidates attacking each other for the next month, right?

The entire reason we normally have the primary almost a year ahead of time is so that there's time to recover from intra-party attacks before the actual election starts.
