I'd still rather go with #Biden but, if he drops out, Harris obviously moves up to be the presidential nominee.
Who should she select as a running mate?
Thinking about it, I came up with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD). He comes from a safe Democratic distict but, more importantly, he can speak specifically about #J6 because he was on #J6Committee.
He's survived cancer twice, and is generally respected across party lines. Because of his J6 work, he's a recognizable face.
Another name I saw floated as a possible Harris running mate is Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ). That might help carry #Arizona again. His popularity in Arizona crosses party lines. His term isn't up until 2028.
And for the record ... I've seen plenty for retired astronauts run for political office. They tend to lose as much (if not more) than they win. "Hey, I'm an astronaut!" doesn't seem to translate to success at the ballot box.
@WordsmithFL I think that during the election to see if we still have a country or not, we should probably support the dingbat we already voted for, rather than seeing if Spaceman Spiff can do a better job.
@WordsmithFL
If this does come true I would expect her pick to be from either the Midwest or east coast.
I'm thinking Pete Buttigieg or Beto O'Rourke. They would not have the complication of back filling a congressional seat. #politics
