I’d like to see Roy on the ticket. He did great for our state. He’s good with diplomacy. I don’t think he’s popular enough nationally, but he was a great governor for NC.
Would you be concerned about the fact that while he's campaigning, the GOP LG would become acting Gov whenever Cooper leaves the state?
His term is up this year, so it’s likely a GOP will get in the governor’s set.
In 2020, NC elected republican senators and reelected Cooper. NC is backwards like that.
pete batty'boi or big gretch....
If the Bat E. Man is picked GOP will lose their minds even more than they already haveButtigieg?
God forbid something happens to Kamala is the country ready for this?

I feel as if she might pick Gavin Newsome. He was being groomed to run for POTUS after Biden's 2nd term. He also would be her biggest threat to securing the nomination. Even with all of his challenges in running CA. It would behoove her to add him to the ticket now so the Dems can focus on attempting to beat Trump.
Wes Moore would be great, but this country would never except an all black ticket... at least not in this generation... maybe in 20 30 years from now.
I may be wrong, but since Kamala is also from California, I don't think Newsome would be allowed on the ticket. Wasn't that the case with Rubio trying to be Chumps VP? He couldn't since they both have a residence in FL.I'm assuming Newsome is considered too far left to run with Kamala.
I'm wondering which potential VP can excite the "middle" and bring Kamala the voters who will never vote for a woman, especially a black one.

I fully expect it to be a white boy. Just saying, y'all know what time it is.
Something in the 12th admendment.I may be wrong, but since Kamala is also from California, I don't think Newsome would be allowed on the ticket. Wasn't that the case with Rubio trying to be Chumps VP? He couldn't since they both have a residence in FL.
It's gonna a conservative leaning white man.
Something in the 12th admendment.
...The amendment outlines how presidential electors in the Electoral College cast ballots for the presidential ticket. Read Next Presidential Election In first public remarks, Kamala Harris praises Joe Biden, doesn’t talk presidential campaign July 22, 2024 10:54 AM It states’ electors “vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.”
While Harris lives at the vice president’s residency at Washington, D.C.’s Naval Observatory, she maintains official residency and is registered to vote in California. That means a ticket with two California residents would essentially void the state’s 54 electoral votes, according to legal experts. “If Kamala Harris were the presidential candidate and Gavin Newsom were the vice presidential running mate, the electors couldn’t vote for both of them,” said Barry Burden, a political science professor and director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
“So that would then create a dilemma, maybe a crisis, for those electors to decide which one of them they would vote for. It might cost the ticket electoral votes.” For electors “in 49 states and District of Columbia, a Harris-Newsom ticket is not a problem,” said Derek Muller, a professor at Notre Dame Law School. “It’s only a problem in the state of California. It would prohibit California’s electors from voting for both Harris and Newsom.”

Yeah, Dems are not going to possibly risk any of those electoral votes from California. Cali is Blue as fuck but still, putting that big bag of ballots in question is too risky for this election.Something in the 12th admendment.

That's what I don't want! Nobody since Reagan has served two terms and handed the presidency over to their VP but I would hate to see the party move right after Harris. That's my main reason for wanting to learn about these people.
