VP Thoughts for the Dems?

I confess I haven't been on here much since 2016. What are everyone's thoughts about Biden's VP pick? I think it will be Kamala Harris. I will get behind that, but it's not my first choice. I know he's not picking a man, but I like both Cory Booker and Andrew Yang. Of the ones on Biden's list, Elizabeth Warren is my favorite, but her age is likely not in her favor.

especially when there are several highly qualified POC candidates, not to mention that the most loyal base of the party are black/POC voters. Diversity is our party's strength and should be reflected on the ticket.

70-somethings on our ticket would be a negative that will become a repug talking point that could cost us votes?

Warren was my first choice for Pres. But I want a woman of color for VP.

Harris or Demmings are at the top of the list.
