(28,392 posts)Kamala Harris for Department of Justice. Maximizing the talents of both, where they can do the most good.
If Warren can reinvent the economy in 4 years, Joe should go and Warren should run as our 2024 candidate.

(649 posts)My guess is Klobuchar (or Harris, who is actually the better choice, as close to a sure thing moderate ticket as youll find).

OAITW r.2.0
(28,392 posts)It is a risky and short term Republican opportunity, but Charlie Baker is not going to pick a Trump stooge and may even respect the political will and temperature today by nominating a Democrat. He would commit political hari-kari if he nominated a teaparty Republican for a short term position.

(24,920 posts)Harris' replacement would certainly be a Dem, so the seat is safe.
And as presiding officer in the Senate, Harris would still be there, as would Warren.
The question would be, would either of these women bring enough voters to the Dems to swing states away from tRump and kick his fat a** out, or would someone else (eg, Klobuchar) bring more?
Much to consider!

(10,126 posts)But I think Biden should have a woman of color, preferably someone from a swing state that will help carry in the general. That being said - I would love Elizabeth to be the new Senate Majority Leader and kick Moscow Mitch's ass every day after we flip the senate.

(7,220 posts)Congresswoman Val Demmings has a high profile stage right now in Congress, a great personal back story, an impressive professional background, preacher-esque oratory skills, a reputation for a sharp, no-nonsense, strategic and tactical intellect, a lifelong commitment to law and order and enormous popularity back home.
Oh. And shes black. And a woman.
And shes from a critical swing state worth 29 electoral votes in an area considered one of the states most crucial voting blocs.

(1,089 posts)is like a giant exercise in game theory.
Except this ain't no academic problem in an ivory tower classroom somewhere...it's a figurative and literal matter of life and death.
Joe's gonna have to put some very smart guys on his team to sit down and figure all this shit out when the time comes. I have faith they'll come up with the best choice possible and will support whoever they end up choosing. It may not even matter as much as we think it might since there are many good choices out there and we might be splitting hairs. But with no sports on TV and nobody going out any more it's at least one way to help pass the time.
