My personal favorite VP pick would be Pete Buttigieg. He's such an effective communicator, kind, intelligent, can speak to all parts of the country, strong faith.

My guess is that she'll either go with Shapiro (PA), Cooper (NC) or Kelly (AZ).

But I wish she'd pick Pete.

I LOVE Pete myself too, but being kind and intelligent don't get you far as a President. He doesn't have enough experience on the main stage yet. Next time.

Shapiro is Jewish, and some voters are still not there so...

I think the Obamas and Clintons are shaping up to be the Hatfields and McCoys in the political back room chess game if the DNC.

Obamas can’t stand Biden (have always viewed him as a dolt and waking gaffe—but milked the best bro relationship image bc it served then all well). And now Bidens are seething about how Obama helped to push him out. Harris knows she’s toast without an endorsement. She isn’t popular and can’t win in polls.
Enter stage right: Bill and Hilary Clinton
They see this opportunity to regain some behind the scenes influence by working with Biden to endorse Harris. Then Harris knows she is beholden to them and not the Obamas.

It’s a low-risk gamble for Harris. Because she knows it’s now or never. If she loses, she loses. But this at least gives her a shot at it. And the Clintons are really good at the behind the scenes stuff. If Harris steps aside and someone else is the nominee, then she’s done in politics anyway. She’s going for broke.

Obamas won’t endorse her.

Not only Obama... but Michelle, Schumer, Pelosi and Jeffries are also not endorsing her

Schumer and Jeffries are in positions of power, so they probably don’t want to look like they’re putting their thumb on the scale.

Exactly, and the Obamas and Pelosi have so much sway still. They don’t need to endorse early but they will do it.

I think picking someone from NC or AZ would be foolish because I find it a massive stretch to think those are winnable for Harris. She has polled even worse than Biden in AZ and Biden has been polling horribly there.

She needs to pick someone well liked from Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin. Those are must wins if Georgia and Arizona are going back to red this year. Which I believe they will.

She could pick Whitmer but I think that’s a bit risky. Shapiro would be a safer bet.

What clever politician would give up a current gig as senator or governor to be Kamala’s sidekick in a doomed campaign?

I don’t think she will win, but she increases her odds if she picks someone popular from a state that is a must-win. Like Shapiro.

Speaking of odds (and Saban lol)

Wait, Nick Saban is a Democrat?

One name that never gets mentioned, but I have to believe is being considered is Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut. He’s young, but has over 10 years of experience in the Senate. He would be great on the campaign trail and Dems wouldn’t have to worry about giving up a Senate seat since Connecticut is solid blue.

Yup, people have been eyeing him to run against Tuberville.

Andy Beshear and Roy Cooper had appearances this morning on MSNBC. Either would be great VP picks.

Do you people want to win. Probably more than ever before the VP pick could make or break this election.

Kelly would be perfect but he leaves a hole in Arizona we can't risk.

My next pick is Bershear and O Rourke
