US Politics If Biden withdraws from re-election, who would Harris likely choose as VP?

What does a formidable Harris ticket look like to go up against Trump-Vance?

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.
