Don't think we'd have too much trouble getting another Dem to replace her...Joe Kennedy for one. Same thing applies to Harris and Gillibrand if Joe wanted to put a progressive woman on the ticket. And CA and NY also have Dem Governors who would appoint another D until a special election could be held.

I also like Sherrod Brown for a progressive #2 but that would be a lot riskier. He would likely help Biden win Ohio for some extra electoral college insurance just in case Michigan or Wisconsin effed up again but if we took back the White House we might lose that seat. Joe would feel pretty damn dumb if he became President only to wind up with 49 Democratic Senators and 51 Republican ones.

And these are just the Senators...lots more good options if we wanted to select somebody from outside Congress.

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