Who could be get Kamala’s No. 2?
After President Joe Biden pulled out of the race on Sunday and supported her to succeed him, Vice President Kamala Harris is the clear favorite to win the endorsement and guide the new-look Democrat ticket.
Within moments of the serious news, Democrats started pondering , who would be the best choices , to work as vice chairman on a seat led by Harris.
Harris, 59, had been the , first Black woman to run for leader  , as the nomination of a major political party. She’s even a democratic from deep-blue California.
A mild white man might appeal to those voters who might not want to see too many cup ceilings at once, while choosing a companion from the Midwest or another swing state had put a premium on her.
Here’s a few of the possible veeps ( in no particular order ) to round out a Harris solution:
Gretchen Whitmer
Visit it the , XX solution.
The government of Michigan is the most well-known Democrat government from any of the so-called “blue wall” state in the Midwest.
She is young, describe,  , enormously famous in her house state , and may help provide Pennsylvania and Wisconsin into the Democrat matter as well with her tough-as-nails Midwest tone.
Oh, and , she’s a person. That could increase both the dangers and the opportunity for Democrats looking to take on the Trump-Vance seat of two white men.
It might also serve as an exclamation point for Democrats ‘ priority of advancing abortion rights as one of their main priorities.
Josh Shapiro
The Pennsylvania government is , another extremely popular Democratic leader , of a Rust Belt jump position.
A mild, Shapiro swept to win in 2022 by outrunning the rest of his seat across the Keystone position, a key battleground state where , former President Trump has grabbed a lead , in elections.
He may be the , second Jewish evil leader.
Shapiro, a first-term chancellor, has some issues about his political acumen and political acumen at the age of 51.
Andy Beshear
The , young Beshear grabbed headlines , with an eye-opening re-election victory in rose dark Kentucky last time, giving him immediate credibility as a moderate Democrat to view and a rising sun.
He waste no time , test-driving attack lines , against Republican vice presidential candidate J. D. Vance, who claims roots in the Bluegrass state.
Let me just tell you that J. D. Vance ai n’t from here, Beshear said on Monday.” I want the American people to know what a Kentuckian is and what they look like.”
Sen. Mark Kelly
The Arizona senator is a popular moderate , from the key swing state of Arizona.
He may not be as well-known as some other potential candidates nationally, and he is also a little older than others on Harris ‘ potential short list.
Kelly is a , former astronaut, a resume line like few others for attracting votes in middle America.
Kelly is married to ex-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a liberal hero who became one of the nation’s most prominent gun-control advocates after , narrowly surviving an assassination attempt.
One big drawback? Democrats would have to fight for a Senate seat that they could not afford to lose in 2026 if he were to become vice president.
Gavin Newsom
He’s from California, so let’s just say , he would be a long shot , to join fellow Golden Stater on the ticket.
However, Newsom is one of the most well-known and eloquent Democrats on the national stage, and if Biden had stepped down earlier, he would have been viewed as a front-runner.
He took just a couple of hours to endorse Harris, suggesting , he wants to avoid questions about his loyalty , to her and the emerging ticket.
J. B. Pritzker
As the governor of deep-blue Illinois, Pritzker brings no swing state bounce but he is perhaps the nation’s most powerful Midwestern Democrat and , that heft has to count for something.
Scion of a wealthy Chicagoland family,  , he would balance the ticket well , and surely calm fears that Harris is too progressive.
Pete Buttigieg
The sitting transportation secretary is widely considered , one of the smartest and best communicators , in the Democratic stable of national leaders.
The openly gay former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, launched a 2020 campaign campaign that he won mostly praise for as a successful campaigner.
A military veteran and native Midwesterner, he is , very comfortable talking to conservative audiences,  , including on Fox News.
He had a terrible experience with Black and Latino voters in the ’20 race, which suggests he may not have had a lot of support from the Democratic base.
Roy Cooper
A folksy two-term governor of swing state North Carolina,  , Cooper might put the Tarheel state in play , for Democrats.
He would make a good balance between California Kamala and a moderate white man from the south. However, he might undermine a strong defense for youth at 67.
