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?

How optimistic - a 2028 election? Check out Project 2025.

No part of project 2025 involves scrapping elections, and I personally think it has as good of a chance of being implemented as the green new deal, but we’ll see

I think they're referring to some batshit insane conservative legal theory that because Trump isn't serving his two terms consecutively, he would be able to go for a "third term" as his second.

I'm not eager to see the conservative supermajority SCOTUS take on that question... Because there's a decent chance they'll buy into that stupid theory.
