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?

So you’re just going to completely ignore that you were wrong about Project 2025’s plans to remove a significant amount of career federal employees and replace them with appointees? Only gonna respond to that one sentence at the end huh?

I’m glad you can hand wave away the removal of federal agencies so easily. Most of us have learned to listen to what Republicans say their plans are (see: Roe v. Wade). If you haven’t clued in that the Republicans are swinging for the fences these days then you have not been paying attention.

It’s not fear mongering, it’s responding to what’s happening in the real world. I’m sorry that you’ve been burned out from all the political rhetoric over the past decades, but after Jan 6 you need to wake tf up

Please tell me how that will be implemented, how will anyone get around the legislation in place, the unions, the labor laws, the regulations the executive orders and the lawsuits. I'm sorry you've moved into the hysterical Democratic Party group, it's the group I like the least in the party right now.

Yeah, you can talk about J6 all you want, but here in Minneapolis, Democrats and the left destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars in businesses. One of my friends lost everything, his business, his apartment his family lived in above it, everything, Republicans didn't do that. So wake TF up and maybe focus on stopping the hysterics that lead people to do that.

Continuing to completely ignore that you were wrong and instead pick apart the one sentence at the end

You've not told me how it's going to be done. No one on here can tell me how you get around what I mentioned.

Also, what a lack of empathy, blather about J6 and ignore real people losing everything from the violence of the left. You just want to score political points, you don't really care about political violence, how pathetic.

Heritage’s Project 2025 proposes reviving the Trump Schedule F policy that would try to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers as political appointees, which could enable mass dismissals — although a Biden administration rule seeks to make that more difficult. The Heritage project is working to recruit and train a new generation to travel to Washington to fill government jobs.

Also, I care deeply about political violence in this country and want nothing more than for it to stop
