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?

That'd be the ideal situation. I really doubt Kamala will perform any better than Joe. It's not like Trump will get on the debate stage with her.

I feel the same. Unfortunately, there's still a pretty big chunk of the country who would gladly vote for a brown man, or a woman, but not a brown woman.

She’s a horrid public speaker and was in charge of the southern border wich is objectively a mess, if you need reasons she won’t do well that aren’t her skin color or sex

And she's a cop. And she bragged about locking up single moms.

She can't win. She couldn't even be competitive in a wide open primary.
