Ranking Harris's Potential Running Mates

[Suburbia]

The criteria in the Democratic Party now is that there must not be another Clinton-Gore/Kerry-Edwards pairing again, two white men, or another Clinton-Kaine, two white people.

It really has to be demographic balance.......

There may be a possibility that she may be a ticket reinforcer, like Clinton-Gore 1992 and pick a fellow minority VP like Abrams or Castro or someone like that.....

Beshear isn't running until 2028, he always said he wanted to fill two terms as Gov due to Covid

If Harris offered him the veep position, there's no way in hell he'd say no.

What does he bring to the ticket? Why not Walz or Heinrich, or even a wild card, NBA player Kyle Korver, who would be 43 by 2024, he'll be retired by then....

Won't Ossoff be too young, too charismatic? Harris may be jealous of him....

[Suburbia]

Buttigieg and Roy Cooper are definitely on that list.

Cooper is too old....let him be AG or some other cabinet position.

I don't think she can pick a Jewish running mate...like Shapiro or Ossoff.

Her husband is Jewish, if she picks a Jewish running mate, she runs the risk of people feeling that the cabinet would be "Jewish influenced"

In a just world, if Tim Ryan was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022, he would be a good choice, Sherrod Brown as well

Beshear and Walz would be good

She probably needs an attack dog VP, because the GOP will go after her daily.

I really don’t think many people care about her having a jewish running mate. The ones who don’t like that aren’t voting democratic anyway

The South sure did in 2000 when Gore picked Lieberman and he lost AR and TN instead of relying on Florida.....

A lot of leftwing voters may not like it either because they're too close to Israel

[Suburbia]

I don't think she should pick Cooper---he is too mild-mannered and old to be VP.

Won't Ossoff be good?

[Suburbia]

Here’s an outside option: Ritchie Torres.
 
He checks diversity boxes (gay, Latino, black); is a progressive who could help win over more left-leaning voters while not being a divisive/controversial Squad member; and is young, representing a new generation of leadership.

He’s very pro Israel and if he was picked, many progressives wouldn’t like him solely for that reason. I agree with Henie Jeebie that it needs to be someone more experienced and “boring”

Just like Jon Ossoff..

American foreign policy should not be dictated by other nations.
