19. First off, I'm ridin' with Biden, but to answer your question, Secretary Buttigieg or Joaquin Castro.

My husband doesn't think America is ready for a woman but I reminded him that technically HRC won in 2016. I think Harris has really grown into her role & exudes confidence she didn't have four years ago.

Is America ready for a woman & a gay man? I think so. Secretary Buttigieg is incredibly engaging & likeable. I read some older republican comments about him & they were all surprised how impressed they were with him. They probably wouldn't say that now, but he's got the chops.

Rep Castro is also very articulate & presents well. There are lots of others!! We have amazing talent in our younger gens we've just been lousy at showcasing it on a national stage. Buttigieg has a national position, Swalwell had the J6 hearing, & AOC does it on her own, but as a whole, unless you're into politics alot of our younger stars are hardly known. Just my opinion.
