I disagree. She has zero foreign experience. The person who best understands what they need to do for the job is Susan Rice because she was in the room for years.

What executive leadership or domestic policy experience does she have?

Isn't Whitmer highly disliked in her own state right now?

Only by a vocal minority of MAGAers. Last time I checked her approval rating remained high, in the 60s.

Oh lord.

Don’t worry, it will definitely be Kamala or Sally Yates.

Won't be Kamala Harris. Way too many negatives.

Too many negatives for AG? I get the sentiment for VP but AG isn't a super controversial position

+1.

I think if Whitmer gets a few more years in the Gov mansion, she will be a great candidate. I can see her in 2024 or 2028, shes only 48.

Kos is supporting Karen Bass for VP.

That won't go unheeded - he represents an influential bloc in the party

Only because she's a true progressive who wouldn't bring the electability problems Warren would. I'm a fan of Bass and think she'd be a strong pick, but the calculus is tricker than that.

I find it fascinating she's been endorsed by both George Will and Dolores Huerta. She triangulates well between establishment and progressive Dems and would be a great governing partner. The calculus will be her chemistry with Joe and her polling in swing states. Which I think could be tough to predict given her lack of national fame at present. I can't imagine she wouldn't help boost AA turnout though. Her entire career speaks to their community and concerns.

Liker her, or not, it's Kamala. Take a look at what she's been up to the last couple of weeks. Done deal.

Bass or Duckworth according to this. Not sure I believe it.

Your flooding this thread with this same sentiment won't make your perspective more credible.

Karen Bass and Duckworth also allow the Dems to be more resilient by having a real contested primary in 2024.

There will be a lot of animosity if whoever the Vp pick is coronated in 2024 like 16/hrc.

Bass and duckworth wouldn’t be able to block out challengers like Harris would.

This is an interesting perspective, I havent thought of it that way. Would you also include Susan Rice on that list?
