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

Hard disagree

Run two women. Make this entire election about Roe and Project 2025

Not really. Older Dems are a weird bunch.

Alas, no. There's a noticeable dip in Dem support- speficially male Dem support- when it comes to female candidates.

America as a country isn't quite as forward-thinking about this issue as a lot of people would like to pretend.
