29. I'm guessing Stacy Abrams or Elizabeth Warren.

Either could be good choices to strengthen the ticket and draw excitement from groups needed to win. Abrams could help in the southern states and with minorities. Warren would assure progressives that someone who shares Bernie's passion on their issues can step up to the plate if needed, and she has some midwestern appeal. He could potentially even pick Kamala Harris though she may not be quite liberal enough for him and he doesn't need her to win California.

It would not be Tulsi Gabbard, who brings nothing to the ticket, not even able to muster a single percentage of the vote anywhere, and Hawaii doesn't have any significant electoral votes.

Strategically he could pick someone from a key swing state. Are there any Texans who might fit the bill?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
