Biden's running mate

[Independents for Nihilism]

This is a good question. Pre-election, my preferred choice for Biden's running mate was Tammy Duckworth (and I don't think the pledge was necessary, I think the choice of a woman or woman of colour would have spoken for itself) and I think she would fill the role of an international figure (i.e. Border Tsar or whatever it is Kamala has been assigned to do) better than Kamala has so far. The margins were narrow enough that if Kamala helped Black turnout at all she may have been what tipped the election, but I think Duckworth would have balanced that out with suburban voters with appeal as a veteran, Asian-American and more experienced legislator.
