What chance does Mayor Pete have of being picked up as VP?

I know it’s still early and no, I’m not giving up on my guy. I am thinking strategically though. If he was to fail to get the nomination, do you think he would have a good chance of being picked as a running mate?

Close to zero. I think that Harris, Booker or Castro have a far better chance. nt Blue_true Sep 2019 #11

If a white male is the President, probably very little chance they would pick another white male. nt pnwmom Sep 2019 #13

I love Mayor Pete and believe that he would be a good President, VP or any other position in a Democratic Administration... that said, I believe he has zero chance of being chosen VP

Now don't get me wrong, I like Pete. If he's more viable than Joe Biden by the time of the South Carolina primary, I will vote for him.

But his only chance is if Kamala Harris gets the nomination. The ticket will have to be balanced by race and by gender.
