"The top 10 options to replace Biden on the ballot"

Where do Democrats go from here? Probably to Vice President Harris first, but not everyone will be sold on that.

Will Gavin Newson jump in?

Remember back in 2000 when Bush picked Cheney, or more accurately, Cheny picked himself? There was a lot of discussion that Cheney couldn't be VP because he and Bush both lived in TX. Ultimately Cheney was declared to live in WYO so problem solved.

The first female Vice President of this country, a former Senator, former State Attorney General and city attorney- graduate of an HBCU (Howard University), daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, wife and proud step-mom.... our future president, Kamala Harris!

Am I sad about Joe? Absolutely. Am I EXCITED about Kamala? Bet your sweet arse I am!

Everyone is too much of something and not enough of something else. Biden/Harris was a good cross-section; I'm confident there will be another good combination.
