George Allen for DeSantis' VP?

[Suburbia]

Allen, the former Virginia governor and Senator has more experience than Glenn Youngkin. Yes, he has baggage and lost a Senate race like Rick Santorum in 2006, but he has experience and he is conservative.

He could appeal to Never Trumpers.....or is Allen old news like Scott Walker, Rick Santorum, etc.?

Lmao not this artifact from 2006

George Allen was the frontunner until he surprisingly lost in last year’s midterm. It looks like Giuliani will be the nominee….

He's a relic from the Bush era and adds nothing to the ticket.

Jim Gilmore would be better.

Bill Thompson should be Harris’s VP.

This. The early 2000s is not an era the contemporary GOP, or the swing voters they're trying to win over, looks back on with a lot of fondness.

I don't know what possible VP options there are from Virginia besides Youngkin; Allen and Gilmore are both dinosaurs from an earlier epoch. Tom Davis would be a fascinating one just going by electoral record, but he's been a lobbyist for too long at this point. Comstock never got enough experience, really.

Extreme long-shot option -- probably more of a Cabinet possibility than for VP, though -- would be Tony Pham. But that's only if you absolutely insist on a Virginian that's not Youngkin for some reason, and there's just no reason to do that. There are 49 more states, and several territories.
