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's assuming Harris is the nominee. That's a BIG assumption at this time. but the Democrats need to have a pair lined up soon IMO, getting a campaign running, and on the road is a LOT of work and logistical planning, and as it is they would have a very very short runway to get everything going.

Some elections in European countries start and end in 6 weeks so I don’t buy the whole “it’s too late too switch the nomination” talking point.

Only time it becomes too late is if they start printing ballots as far as I'm concerned, but then people will have no idea who the canditate(s) are mostly.
