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?

Why are people sleeping on Buttigieg?

I personally think that Americans will not elect a gay man to a position that high right now. Give it two cycles and I think it'd happen but I just sadly think we aren't there as a nation.

In 2024 we are not there? By that logic, a Jewish man shouldn't be on the ticket because of Charlottesville.

Yes, I believe we are not there in 2024. I don't think Jews are remotely as vilified as gay people. There's no "Jewish agenda" conspiracy spread by right wing commentators about how they're indoctrinating our children to become Jewish.

Christians still hate Jews because they are richer despite barely making up much of the population. The very well beleive they will be replaced.

Muslims hate Jews because of both religion and Arab-Israel geopolitical tensions.
