A lot of the people being mentioned for VP positions, in my opinion, would be much more useful heading other departments, like you mentioned.

The VP slot should go to who we’d like be a major contender in 2024 or 2028 and beyond.

So, with that in mind, the type of person I see should be the president is one who can build a solid administrative team and who will take the ideas and opinions of those serving in key positions to make the best informed decision they can. The president’s main job is to have a vision for the country and, through the strength of their leadership and character, they lead the nation through making it happen. It might not be the popular position or the easiest, but it’s the best decision given the data and facts.

The best president won’t necessarily be the person with the best ideas, but the person who shows the strongest leadership and best vision for our nation. They take the ideas from the people they surround themselves with and run with them. Charisma and being naturally comfortable in front of the press is vitally important.

In my opinion, Karmala Harris is that person and should be given the VP position. She reeks of leadership and charisma in the media performances I have seen of her. I want her to lead America someday in the future.
