    Some names I've heard:

    Whitmer (Mich)
    Shapiro (Penn)
    Buttigieg
    Bashear (Kent)

    I forget his name, but I’ve read the Governor of Arizona is a string possibility.

    i don't think so. don't think she has a chance to beat Trump

    but if the Dems don't pick her, a lot of blacks may stay home

    Seems so, if Biden supports her, as reported, his delegates should follow his request. Of course, there will probably be some convention drama.

    Any of these would be a good pick. Mayor Pete is my fave. So astute and great spokesperson.

    Not sure. Biden endorsed her, but I think she still needs to gain the confidence of the Party. There’s a little time for this.

    Whitmer or Shapiro would help with the EC calculus. Buttigieg would dismantle JD Vance.

    She would need Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania for a barebones win, so the logic here is picking a rust belt governor as VP, which polling shows would help. Maybe the Pennsylvannia guy because sadly, two women on the ticket might be a problem ... I like Beshear, though. I think he's going to be a Democrat contender real soon.

    Whitmer should be the nominee for president, much less VP. She’s a total badass and would eviscerate and emasculate Trump in a debate.

    This.

    Also, the novelty of a woman/woman (Whitmer) ticket may motivate some voters.

    Biden endorsed Harris. Democrats need to unite around her. Trump is too much of a threat and the election is getting closer and closer. It's time to put our focus on beating Trump.

    As for VP, I think Andy Beshear or Josh Shapiro makes a lot of sense. Pete Buttigieg would be fine too.

    I feel like there’s still a long way to go. She has to convince the Party she can win.

    As much as I would like Buttigieg to be on the ticket, it has to be a straight white male for Harris to have any chance.
