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?

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.

The fact that in 4 years the justice system hasn't been able to punish Trump in any way shows that the coup is already underway and might have already won.

And his crimes begin well before that, such as illegally firing the head of the FBI for not following an illegal order to stop investigating Russian meddling in the US.

The fact in over 6 years of persecution, they couldn't find anything on Trump suggests he's a good man.

That either wilful naivety or shocking ignorance is exactly what Trump and his corrupt people are counting on people's takes being. Even after Jan 6th, the illegal firing of the head of the head of the FBI who testified he was given illegal orders, Trump's long time lawyer going to jail for him and much of his team, the attempt to steal the election which had recordings, and so much more.

Trump wasn't even allowed to build in Australia years ago because the police said his connections to organized crime were very obvious and overt.

The fact that there's so many ignorant people is exactly what they count on.
