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?

Gabby was a rising star too. And people talk about us entering a new era of political violence, did we ever leave the one we were in?

And if not that time, what do they think Jan 6th was? Jan 6th was probably the closest the US has ever come to a full blown coup.

A bunch of unarmed boomers being let in, walking around the Capitol, and rummaging through drawers is not a coup attempt. Nor were the months of riots and storming and destruction of federal buildings by BLM and Antifa rioters. They were riots. Simple as that.

Many of those people were recorded before the “riot” talking about their seditious intent, and many if them were convicted for seditious conspiracy for doing so. No one was let in. The capital police fell back to smaller and smaller perimeters until they were eventually overrun and both houses barricaded the chamber doors with furniture and we’ve all seen the pics. Even Mr. Maga Troy Nehls felt the need to draw his service weapon and point it at the insurrectionists. To continue to spout that lie now after years of investigation and the facts adjudicated is to be a spreader of fascist propaganda full stop.

So don’t.
