Which is why Newsom is a big no, a Californian governor isn't winning the rust belt states. Whitmer
Its a tough ask for the up and coming candidates. If you jump in here last minute and lose, that's likely your only shot. I don't see any of the big names being interested in taking this one. Newsom won't touch it with a barge poll, in my opinion.
Given the political reality of how tough winning as anything other than a white male would be, I like Shapiro or Pritzker.
It will be Harris though.
It's going to be Whitmer or Shapiro.Newsom wants to become president. He won't join a losing ticket and thus lose his chances for 2028.
It will likely be someone very uninspiring.

This allows Democrats to reverse the narrative and attack Trump as being too old and mentally incapable. And with 34 felonies. Will be interesting to see if Trump chooses to do any more debates. Harris is a more aggressive personality than Biden and that might work well against the orange one.
An all CA ticket is not a good idea.Wonder would she pick Newsom as running mate?
There's millions who are undecided right now. Americans start paying attention to the election beginning around Labor Day.Are his legal troubles causing him any real issues though? And given what happened last week, his reaction and how it's been perceived in America, is trying to make him out to be incapable going to convince those who aren't already convinced one way or the other?
Maybe, but what if a small percentage of swing voters don’t want to vote for her because of gender and heritage?Wouldn't most people who are averse to Harris due to her gender and heritage be more likely to vote Republican anyway?
Stop with this nonsense. The argument against Kamala is that she's a total lightweight, with zero accomplishments and zero charm. She bombed in the DNC primaries in 2020, finishing like 10th in a field of 12. Are Democratic voters loathe to choose a black woman as their candidate? Come on now.

Three things went wrong for Trump this week: picking J.D. Vance wasn’t a good idea, the speech (it seems) wasn’t well received, and now Biden dropping.What an moment though. Trump campaign gained some crazy momentum lately but now the Dems can reshape the narrative.
That's a definite black mark on Whitmer.Would the independents and undecideds be swayed enough to vote a two-woman ticket? I still get the notion half the nation prefer a man at the top, or at least as the number two.
Maybe the Nixon debacle in the days leading up to his resignation might have a shout as the craziest, but I agree with you, this takes the cake.Three things went wrong for Trump this week: picking J.D. Vance wasn’t a good idea, the speech (it seems) wasn’t well received, and now Biden dropping.
The past 8 days have been among the craziest in American politics that I can recall.
It actually was. 200m from Musk and who knows how much from Thiel and other paypal mafia means that Trump will have a financial advantage these elections. I find it very hard to believe that this was not part of a deal.Three things went wrong for Trump this week: picking J.D.

I do not think Whitmer will be in the ticket. Together with Newsom, she is the favorite for the next Democrat leader and thus for 2028 (un;ess Harris wins the election).It's going to be Whitmer or Shapiro.
AOC has been pretty vocal in backing Biden and saying he shouldn't step downCatch up me here. What have either of them done that is so bad?
They backed Biden as the nominee pretty hard, in exchange for him pushing some stuff they like.Catch up me here. What have either of them done that is so bad?
Buttegieg, for as much as I like him, doesn't have a potential needed swing state to deliver.I do not think Whitmer will be in the ticket. Together with Newsom, she is the favorite for the next Democrat leader and thus for 2028 (un;ess Harris wins the election).
Harris is not doing very well in the polls, and her approval rate is bad. Trump is a big favorite against her. I do not expect Newsom or Whitmer joining that ticket.
Shapiro might be ok. Buttigieg too.

His been unleashed since 2016Unleash the mysogynist racists!
I see this argument, but Vance won’t bring enough swing voters to Trump. That’s more important than the money from Musk or being aligned with Trump.Furthermore, policy-wise, Vance is completely aligned with Trump which IMO is a bonus. I never found appealing getting the VP someone who is very different to the P, that just sounds so counter-intuitive.

Sadly no.Sadly I also don’t think America is ready to elect a woman of colour and a gay man to POTUS/VPOTUS.

Regardless, I will 100% vote for her if she’s the nominee, but I don’t want her to be the nominee for a wide range of reasons. Replacing Biden by his VP is just one of them. I also don’t want Pete either.
The candidate needs to win Michigan, Wisconsin, & Pennsylvania, not necessarily Arizona. To me, it's one of Whitmer & Shapiro.Shapiro seems more likely imo.
Maybe an outside chance for Kelly too?
