My sleeper VP pick

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[DFW]

1. I've known him for many years, and don't think he wants it

I’ll ask him, but I don’t he or Gabby are interested in him trying for the nomination for VP.

My bet would be Gov. Whitmer or Mayor Pete, but either speculation is premature.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. He has a compelling story.

[DFW]

11. Of course he does.

I still don’t think he wants it. But I’ll ask him. If he has an answer, but requests it not be published, I have to respect it, though.

[Renew Deal]

6. I don't know him, but got the same sense.

That said, I'm not convinced he'd say no.

[DFW]

16. If they begged him and Gabby is cool with it, he might do it.

I personally think he's happy where he is, and I just think Whitmer or Buttegeig will end up getting the nod. I will hear what he has to say first before speculating any further. Gabby's OK is a must, of course.

[hauckeye]

2. I like him! But would we lose the AZ senate seat?

[LeftInTX]

8. Only if the Dems win

We need balance on the ticket.
I think Mark is perfect

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. The governor is a Democrat

[Elessar Zappa]

3. If he's interested, I think he'd be a great choice.

Andy Beshear also.

[wnylib]

22. I think it will be Beshear or Shapiro.

For geographical strategy, Shapiro would make sense to gain PA's electoral votes.

I don't think that Beshear could bring KY with him, but there might be other qualities that Beshear could bring to the ticket that puts him on the Harris short list.

[BComplex]

30. Beshear is the only one that doesn't interest me.

All of the others would make a totally dynamic team with President Harris!

[Daveigh]

4. He--amongst several others--was already being vetted for POTUS

I’d assume those same possibilities are also being considered for VP.

According to a WaPo report …

“Top Democratic donors ‘are funding a preliminary vetting process for potential vice-presidential nominees.’

Four people with knowledge of the process told the Post that those ‘involved in the effort have contacted the teams of top Democratic figures, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.’

Additionally, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly are also being vetted, the sources said.“

[SKKY]

7. He's a good one for sure! My money is on Shapiro, but I'd be fine with either...

...we have a deep bench for sure.

[Music Man]

9. Not a bad choice.

However, our hold on the Senate is precarious. We'd be taking out a good Senator from a purple state.

[NoRethugFriends]

10. no! not liberal enough

[Kid Berwyn]

12. Intelligent. Hardworking. Military. Astronaut. Senator.

Loves his wife, who is a victim of gun violence. And he would absolutely tower over the idiot VD Pance.

A Harris - Kelly ticket would beat the un-American GOP fascist kkkowards.

[GreenWave]

14. Can Arizona replace his Senate seat?

[oasis]

15. Tim Ryan would help us win Ohio.

Hugely!

[LisaL]

20. How could Tim Ryan possibly help us to win OH when he couldn't win OH in his senate race against Vance?

NT

[BComplex]

31. That was only because Thiel spent $50 million to get JDVance in that seat.

If we spent $50 million in Ohio, we might be able to put a Democrat in Vance's former seat.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. When we win he will be a good Labor Secretary.

[oasis]

33. Ryan's blue collar to the max!

[lees1975]

28. Ryan lost to Vance by 6 in the senate race.

I don't think he has the draw.

[oasis]

32. Because Peter Thiel heavily funded JD Vance.

Vance is the billionaire’s fair haired boy.

[Cherrycheeks]

17. No

[maryland native]

18. I like Wes Moore

He has an Obama character, selfless, leader, sort of quiet but not when stuff is real, but I seriously doubt the viability of two minorities on the ticket, regardless of qualifications.

[democrattotheend]

27. Same

I hate to say it but I agree. Plus, if we are worried about winning Maryland we have no shot at winning the general election.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. He's winning in the gaming markets

[Autumn]

23. We need to keep him in Arizona.

[Tribetime]

24. It's probably going to be him

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. It looks that way.

Who doesn't love an astronaut?

[Nanjeanne]

25. His not voting for PRO Act has angered unions. Since many came out for Harris quickly, they

aren’t happy about his possibility.

I think to win those swing states we need someone who is very pro worker.

[Blue Thing]

29. He's a contender not a sleeper

Kelly is at the top of many lists.
She has many terrific options.
Pete is brilliant! In a perfect world he would be the top of my list.
Listening to an interview with R’s & undecided voters on Morning Joe, those voters are very misinformed concerning Kamala. It’s gonna be a tough road ahead.
