Not really surprising
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

If one were to assume Harris would be the nominee were to Biden to step aside...Gov. Newsom might be a terrible idea as a running mate...two Californians on the ticket would not be terribly helpful.

Could easily foresee a Harris/Whitmer ticket, and let the right-wing chauvinism run amok.

A cunning option might be Liz Cheney...but I would highly doubt the possibility.


America voting for two women? :yeahright:

Might as roll out Hillary then. Make the defeat momentous.

QuoteCongressional leaders, meanwhile, expect that Vice President Harris will become the nominee if Biden drops his reelection bid. The talk among high-level strategists and donors has now turned to who is best positioned to serve as Harris's running mate, with a short list of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D).

Seems like a waste of a swing state Senator or governor to be VP.

Feels like grab a straight, white guy in a swing state to balance out the diversity. Which in America is sound.

Oh, for sure. I just think there must be less valuable ones to use. There should be more than enough.

I mean...she did win Virginia. If you consider Virginia a swing state.

Roy Cooper is being term limited anyway, he is ready for the next thing. He would be a good choice.

Also I think there were many other issues with Hillary's campaign and candidacy which were quite specific to her.
Let's bomb Russia!

Electing a black woman as President would be an incredibly sweet revenge on the MAGA bastards. And in a way I suspect an  opponent like Trump is needed to have a chance doing that.

On the other hand, there will be a lot of misogynistic and racist strings the GOP will be able to play.
