Joe Biden selects Senator Kamala Harris as his VP Pick

[FAH1223]

Most VPs are from "completely useless states electorally".

Pence: Indiana - strong Republican state, useless electorally.
Biden: Delaware - strong Democratic state, useless electorally.
Cheney: Wyoming - the MOST Republican state in the country, useless electorally.
Gore: Tennessee - strong Republican state now but in 1992 was a purple state and Gore helped Clinton win TN in '92 & '96.
Quayle: Indiana - strong Republican state, useless electorally.
HW Bush: Texas - strong Republican state now was more purple in 1980.
Mondale: Minnesota - strong Democratic state, useless electorally

Most VPs come from useless states electorally .

All those people won statewide races except HW Bush.

Biden is only going to pick someone who has won statewide.

Yep, all of them were previously Senators before becoming VP (except HW Bush, Cheney & Pence). However, Cheney represented all of Wyoming in the House and Pence was a governor.

Biden is going to pick a Senator or Governor to be his VP. He's not going to pick a House member, Mayor or local politician like some people on here think.

well frankly i think klobuchar or gretchen whitmer do more to deliver biden a W, so im not sure who kamala flips that he doesnt have already. meanwhile those 2 help with the MI/WI angle

nobody sitting on the fence is going to hop over with amy ( ) or whitmer as VP. the people in mi/wi who vote biden are going to vote for him regardless. your pick has to reach those last bits of people who truly arent convinced about joey b (for whatever reason being that trump is the alternative)

Wisconsin isn't news but Minnesota?

This is why I've made my peace with...Kamala being the one

Klobuchar is the safe choice. Go with her...

Klobuchar is the safe choice. Go with her...

Why is she a "safe" choice?

Oh great, wonder bread Amy to rescue!

 

[King Static X]

She's not wrong

 

[Reality]

Her lack of experience is a complete non factor with her husband within arms reach

I can't believe this didn't come to me naturally, but yeah, this is huge.

I still think it should be Warren or Kamala. One of those 2 or bust. I get the Kamala hate in the context of a democratic primary that includes Bernie and E. Warren, but otherwise, have people really deluded themselves into thinking Amy Klobuchar would be a better VP?

Stacy Abrams is a complete non-starter in a race in which the top of the ticket is going to be Joe Biden and focus will be on the VP. Not experienced enough and we haven't gotten to her personal life at all.

Thread on the debate between picking Cuomo or a Midwestern woman for VP

 

[acri1]

Klobachar

Am I the only person that likes the idea of Warren as VP? Probably won't happen but I think her or Abrams would be good. I'd take Kamala over Klobachar tho.

Biden/Cuomo would be a great ticket right now, got damn blue check warriors forcing Biden to commit to picking a woman.

Biden/Cuomo would be a great ticket right now, got damn blue check warriors forcing Biden to commit to picking a woman.

Seems like Cuomo is going to be busy during the campaign season..................
