Inevitable question: Joe Biden's running mate

If Biden wins the nomination, he's almost certainly going to pick Kamala to be his VP.

'Her ambition got it wrong about Joe': Harris faces debate backlash

One major Biden supporter from California who declined to be named for publication said Harris' direct attack on Biden was a mistake that would haunt her.

"It's going to bite her in the ass," the supporter noted. "Very early on there was buzz ... Biden-Kamala is the dream ticket, the best of both worlds."

After this week, "That sh**t ain't happening."

Welp...

Oh, & that's gotta be Feinstein, right?

I think that they'd definitely be a winning ticket. She'd energize the base with a progressive icon who would probably get progressives excited enough to vote Biden come Election Day, they come across as very genuine & personable, & Biden's foreign policy/Washington expertise & Warren's economic knowledge would combine for a killer governing team post-election.

Of course, the downsides are that there's no regional diversity to this ticket (they're both white Northeasterners), their combined age (78 & 71, respectively, on Inauguration Day) is nearly 150, & a Republican governor (Baker) would get to appoint an interim senator to replace her. Now, said interim senator would still likely be replaced with a Democrat by June 2020 at the latest, considering MA's special election law, but having one less Democratic senator during those first few months could very well come back to bite them.

Is there a non-zero chance that he taps her to be his VP if he's the nominee? Yes.

Will he? No.
