And why no consideration of Jamie Raskin? A very well-spoken constitutional scholar as vice-president? Yes, please!

CA is a safe state

He is awesome and will carry the state! After 2 terms as VP he’ll run for president and be the first president from Pennsylvania since the second-worst POTUS ever, James Buchanan.

I tried to make it alphabetical

I think she’d be a steady, rock solid influence during this time of transition.

POTUS or VPOTUS

has so unfairly made her radioactive and at this point and going forward, unfortunately, unelectable.

She also would be in her 80s for the last third or so of the 2025 to 2029 term, and I absolutely doubt we will see a Democratic POTUS and/or VPOTUS of that age again, not after Biden.

I've never heard of some of the people on this list. Maybe they help us in swing states but I'm not sure how much they help us nationally. Pete placed pretty high in the 2020 primaries.

West coast/East coast. Whitmer is also good.

But what about the homophobes?

past that due to Kamala being on the top of the ticket.

Chicago, which is vastly more non white than white, elected a black lesbian mayor. Wisconsin elected a white lesbian Senator. Colorado elected a gay white Governor. OR elected back to back white lesbian/bisexual Governors. AZ elected a white, bisexual atheist female (Sinema). Maura Healey of Massachusetts is another white lesbian Governor.

I think my top choices are Pete or Beshear.

Josh Shapiro? Governor from a swing state. Very popular.

excellent choice IMO.

We really need to capture PA and my hope is that either can help bring both PA and Michigan.

Whitmer/Shapiro would be my ticket.

But I picked Shapiro because I’m skittish about two women on the ticket.

Back to Whitmer/Shapiro, they are both fantastic communicators and they get it done.

White, male, name recognition, and we desperately need to keep Joe Biden's climate change work alive.

Or Senator Angus King of Maine?

Both of them would be excellent Vice Presidents.

In my opinion.
A straight-up mothers vs mobsters (so to speak) grudge match for the future of our generations, born and to come.

Mark Kelly's name keeps being floated, but do we have another democrat who can win that senate seat in Arizona? We barely won with him and it would be awful to go down a senate seat.

Andy Beshear is an interesting idea, but I don't see us winning Kentucky regardless and will Kentucky elect another democrat as governor? Might be better if he stayed where he is.
