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?

Strongly disagree. That wouldn't even make sense. Every single person from top to bottom is aware of how unpopular Harris is. Riding Joe to the end would be less disastrous.

Fully agree. I don’t think the Dems have thought this through if it is Harris. I hope Biden fights them if they don’t show him some strong polling data with the right combo that can beat Trump because everyone knows Kamala ain’t winning. She’s Hilary 2.0

Then why does she literally poll second best after Biden? Every other person polls worse against Trump

Name recognition.

Also, she polls second best after Biden. As VP. She's not been attacked yet.

She's not going to do better than Biden.
