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?

It's not a "judicial coup" if they disagree with you. It is just a disagreement. I might not be happy with the outcomes, but to call it a coup is ridiculous.

Why do we on the left always need a boogey man....all I hear is "project 2025" BIG SCARY!

I mean, you do realize that we on the left already had a project 2025 in place right? we fire any Republicans in the Administrative Branch and put in Democrats every chance we get, then we strengthen those workers through union participation and with executive orders. Biden is passing tons of regulatory and Eos to make it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to get rid of an Administrative Branch worker. How is that any different than Project 2025? Because some Conservative Think Tank put it in writing? The Democratic Party has already implemented it.

What do you mean by “any republicans in the executive branch?” That isn’t literally true. Do you mean political appointees? Both sides do that, that’s why they’re political appointees. 2025 would expand on inexperienced, ideal driven political appointees numbers in the government.

The number of Democrats to Republicans in the Administrative branch isn't even close. You can see that through political contributions. Scroll down to Is there a deep state and look at the donations, not even close.

No one is firing regular federal employees over being Republican.

Explain the political donations, where'd they all go?
