Which candidate would be most likely to offer a cabinet position to Kamala Harris?

Biden is my first choice because I think he can beat Trump, BUT Kamala was my second choice.

I really liked her. I still have her campaign logo saved on my desktop.

I think she would be so great for our country in a role such as Vice President, Secretary of State, or Attorney General.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

If she isn’t going to be the VP pick then I’d prefer she remain my senator.

But we’ll know if we’ve won back the Senate before the awesome new Democratic President chooses a cabinet, and she’d be a kick-ass AG.

Gavin Newsome would appoint a Strong Democrat to fill in until the next election.

Adam Schiff comes to mind.

Joe Biden has already said that he would consider her for any position she wanted. My estimation? She’d be a great VP choice and/or Kickass AG.

That seat would be gone forever, and it’s not immediately clear where she could land.

I asked who people thought would offer her a position. If she doesn't want a position, she can easily say no. I'm sure her supporters would support whatever decision she made.
