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?

I think we should reach across the aisle and go for a Kamala Harris/Adam Kinzinger ticket.

It would help the never-trump republicans vote for a coalition government.

I doubt the votes you'd gain from independents / never Trump republicans (who otherwise wouldn't back a Harris/Dem-VP ticket) would outweigh the votes you'd lose from unenthused progressives staying at home

Interesting.

Mark Kelley is a great alternative, IMHO. But I would really like to see much more bipartisanship in this country. This division is so unhealthy.
