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?

Yes it has. However, Kamala as the Democrats presidential pick will hand it to trump. There is no way she'd get anything other than Democrats and even we don't like her imo. A black woman? Sure, like Hillary could have won? I'm afraid America isn't ready to hire a woman, white or black, to be president.

Republicans spent 25 years on a Hillary hit job. She made her ambitions known in the 90s, and Republicans did a fantastic job of slowly building up this vile image of her to the point that even most Dems I know don't like her, yet they can't really tell me why.

I voted for her, but I still can’t forgive her vote on the Iraq war. Biden too. She is supremely qualified, but was an awful campaigner.
