Who would you like to see as VP?

[RicROC]

Stacy Abrams is the first person who comes to my mind.

OR, Susan Rice was on TV recently and she's very impressive.

[brooklynite]

1. That would depend on who was P

[Auggie]

3. +1

[FM123]

2. Michelle Obama.

I know, I know - she is not interested - but I love her (and her hubby) so....

[LeftTurn3623]

42. no way Michelle Obama

would be anyone's VP. If she wanted to she would be the nominee and there wouldn't be a close 2nd.

[evertonfc]

4. Abrams

Gillum or Hakeem

[Amimnoch]

5. Especially if one of the male candidates, Jane Campbell would be a great choice

To consider and vet.

[PunkinPi]

6. Kamala Harris nt

[Blue_playwright]

18. I thought of her immediately, too. Nt

[Gothmog]

7. Senator Harris or Stacy Abrams

[Bleacher Creature]

26. Those are my two choices as well!

[aeromanKC]

8. Opposite gender of Candidate

Preferably a minority with at least a bit of geographical seperation (Not both from NE)

[exboyfil]

20. Say Georgia for example?

It is interesting to me that Abrams was actually in Gulfport, MS the same time I was (she was ten years younger). I also wonder if she still has any family network from her birthplace in Wisconsin. She is also a Harry S. Truman scholar like my old debate partner.

[chia]

9. Kamala Harris

[PatSeg]

10. Stacy Abrams

was the first to come to mind for me. I agree, Susan Rice would be a great 2nd choice.

[katmondoo]

13. I always wanted Stacy Abrams for VP

[PatSeg]

19. Yes

She is so impressive, I'd like to see her have a prominent national role and VP sounds perfect for her.

[exboyfil]

21. Susan Rice - SecState

I think Stacey Abrams would play better in the Midwest. She has had the correct focus on voter rights since being screwed in the Governor's race. She has a clear path to the VP nomination since she is not tied up in the Senate race. She almost won a Georgia statewide race which is quite impressive.

I think it will come down to polling in Wisconsin. Klobuchar might play better in Wisconsin. That has to be the primary consideration for VP.

[The Valley Below]

11. Assuming Biden is the nominee, Amy Klobuchar

[IronLionZion]

24. Can Dems keep that Senate seat?

[The Valley Below]

39. The governor is a Democrat (Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party)

[rurallib]

14. Tammy Duckworth

[RicROC]

48. oh yes!

I forgot about Tammy Duckworth. She would also be a great VP...talk about what she's done to sacrifice for our country.

[Chipper Chat]

15. Kamala

[world wide wally]

16. Kamala!

I'd love to see her debate Pence (or Hailey)

[exboyfil]

22. If Trump is the top of the ticket

I doubt there will be any debates. You can't have a VP debate without highlighting the ridiculousness on no Presidential debate, and I don't see Trump doing it.

[UrbScotty]

17. If it's Warren or Klobuchar, then Julian Castro or Anthony Foxx would be good.

If it's Biden, Sanders, or Buttigieg, I'm thinking Kamala Harris.

[Kahuna7]

23. klobuchar.nt

[redstatebluegirl]

27. I hate to say this but I honestly don't care.

We have to win it first. I think we need someone younger and able to be ready to run when the time comes. It has to be someone without a lot of baggage, good campaigner, and someone willing to accept the role of VP. We have a few who don't fit that bill.

[ritapria]

28. What about Debbie Stabenow or Tammy Baldwin ?

We need WI . We Need MI

[aikoaiko]

29. Joe Biden. He did a good job.

[Demsrule86]

31. As nominee. He will choose the VP...he is way ahead.

[aikoaiko]

32. Sure, but if not, I'd support him as a VP to someone else.

His meme game is good.

[Demsrule86]

44. I doubt he would take it but I can't see any of the top three offering it. Although it would help

them with the mid west...they all think they can win it mostly. I don't. Although, any nominee has my vote.

[pdxflyboy]

30. Kamala Harris N/T

[treestar]

33. Someone younger than Biden

say under 65. With the ability to step right into the job. This might be held to a more demanding standard where the candidate is older already and the person will not have been elected President directly in their own right.

[TidalWave46]

34. It is candidate dependent.

Off the top of my head I think the best team we could put forward for actual success in the WH would be Klobuchar/Crowley.

I do think Abrams would be good across the board. I'm not familiar with how heavily vetted she has been.

[exboyfil]

40. Apparently she owed some back taxes

that have been paid. I assume the vetting for Governor was pretty extensive. The fact, even with the head wind of the cheating, that she was able to come so close in Georgia makes me think she has some real potential.

[TidalWave46]

41. I imagine the good people of Georgia vet black candidates pretty well. NT

[Politicub]

35. As an Abrams volunteer for her campaign for Georgia governor, it makes me happy to see

so much national support for her.

She's amazing on the stump and would be an asset to any candidate's administration.

[broiles]

36. BETO!

[kacekwl]

37. Tammy Duckworth or

Sally Yates.

[StarfishSaver]

38. They're great but one of my favorites is a longshot whom no one is talking about

Anthony Foxx, former Secretary of Transportation and Mayor of Charlotte, NC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Foxx

[RicROC]

49. yes, thank you for reminding us.

[StevieM]

43. Here are five names that stand out in my mind:

1. Stacey Abrams

2. Kamala Harris

3. Hilda Solis

4. Anthony Foxx

5. Sally Yates

[StarfishSaver]

50. I said no one's talking about Foxx

Whoops. You are.

[rogue emissary]

45. Eric Swalwell or

just about any young white guy to be honest.

[comradebillyboy]

46. Someone who is capable of winning a statewide election in their home

state. Either governor or US senate race.

[jpljr77]

47. I think Stacey Abrams if it's Biden, Sherrod Brown for Warren.

They are, obviously, for very different reasons.

Biden needs no political support as his career has been nothing but national politics. For a long time. But he would need help in energizing the electorate. Abrams could do that, plus she comes from a state that is not unwinnable (kinda) with her on the ticket.

Warren, while not necessarily needing support, is essentially a single-issue candidate. Sherrod Brown is fantastic at amplifying that message, and again, his state is valuable and might be in play with him on the ticket.

The downside to Brown is that he's a valuable Senator, and Ohio is basically red now. He would be replaced by a Republican, and that would hurt.

[mahina]

51. Stacey Abrams

[pamdb]

52. VP

Kamala Harris is my first choice although she would make a great AG

Mayor Pete?

Cory Booker?

If Biden gets the nomination he needs to pick either a minority or a woman. OR both. Which is why i pick Kamala. Then again, Mayor Pete would qualify as a minority.

[RicROC]

53. Mayor Pete for Sec of State

I could see Mayor Pete as Sec. of State, because we will need someone to repair our international friendships.

[ecstatic]

54. Sens Booker or Harris, assuming Cory doesn't get the nom.

I guess I can forgive Castro for his mean comments and add him as a favorite VP pick too. I've really appreciated his speaking out on topics that aren't typically addressed.

[RicROC]

55. what about Val Deming?

Val Deming was quite impressive during the Impeachment Hearings.
