"The top 10 options to replace Biden on the ballot"

[4139]

Where do Democrats go from here? Probably to Vice President Harris first, but not everyone will be sold on that.

Will Gavin Newson jump in?

[intrepidity]

1. Paywall nt

5. Hmm, not paywall for me but normally paywall????

Very odd

7. You may have cleared their cookie recently.

2. Prediction: No he will not. He'll endorse VP Harris, so will Whitmer.

[Frasier Balzov]

3. There's no jumping in except willingness to run as VP.

Everybody welcome as campaigners for Harris of course!

Kamala Harris plus her VP pick

6. Washington Post. It's a warning sign.

Thanks anyway.

BTW, I don't think you'll ever see pres and vp from the same state.

[Deminpenn]

11. Legally, Pres and VP can't be from the same state

Remember back in 2000 when Bush picked Cheney, or more accurately, Cheny picked himself? There was a lot of discussion that Cheney couldn't be VP because he and Bush both lived in TX. Ultimately Cheney was declared to live in WYO so problem solved.

18. That's why I went into science and engineering.

Despite my acquired knowledge of politics (such as it is)

I am sometimes right for the wrong reason.

Thanks!

20. Don't think anyone really knew this was a rule either

until some reporter or blogger back in the day dug it up. Lol

8. It's gonna be THE GENTLEWOMAN FROM CALIFORNIA,

The first female Vice President of this country, a former Senator, former State Attorney General and city attorney- graduate of an HBCU (Howard University), daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, wife and proud step-mom.... our future president, Kamala Harris!


Am I sad about Joe? Absolutely. Am I EXCITED about Kamala? Bet your sweet arse I am!

[Goodheart]

12. I can't recommend this enough!

21. The USS Potomac is tied up at Jack London Square in Oakland.

Ready for duty. It's seaworthy. I have been aboard it.

9. I think AOC would be a great candidate.

[Deminpenn]

14. Interestingly, she turns 35 in Oct so she would

qualify to be president.

I would vote for AOC in a heartbeat.

[Dem4life1234]

10. Kamala

Because women of color have to work thrice as hard.

She's smart as a whip.

[Goodheart]

15. Inasmuch as black women have saved our country in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022....

Kamala's election is going to be sweet poetic justice.

[Polybius]

13. I hope he runs

He should hurry up, she's getting lots of endorsements already.

[Lulu KC]

16. Not everyone will be sold on anyone

Everyone is too much of something and not enough of something else. Biden/Harris was a good cross-section; I'm confident there will be another good combination.

[Emile]

17. AOC & Bernie Sanders in 24 has a nice ring to it.

[mcar]

19. Harris, Harris, Harris, Harris, Harris,

Harris, Harris, Harris, Harris, Harris.

[Xolodno]

22. Think Gavin is angling for a cabinet post.

Probably SoS, the one area he's been trying to shore up. He plays the long game.
