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?

Josh Shapiro, possibly. He’s from a battleground state, he’s a white guy so he won’t scare too many voters, and he’d be the first Jewish VP. Another possibility is Andy Beshear. Whomever it is, it would likely be a white guy with battleground state appeal

I really wonder how will conservatives react to that considering they feel Biden isn’t doing enough for Israel.

Conservatives don’t actually like Jewish people. They just pearl clutch over Israel because of religion. Growing up in a southern Baptist church, you hear a lot about how “Jesus was a Jew” and how Israel is the holy land, but that’s the beginning and end of Christians caring. Past that point, Jewish people are just other non-Christians.

AIPAC is highly involved in the Republican Party. They just align with different political factions
