Where do we stand now on a VP Pick?

Back on April 25th I posted a poll with possible VP Candidates for Joe Biden.

Kamala Harris was the overwhelming favorite with Elizabeth Warren coming in second.

Here's an updated list. I removed Klobuchar, Whitmer and Porter. Let's see where we stand now.

If you select "Other" please post your pick.

Thanks

That's how I feel too. Being a Bay State girl myself, she has always been my favorite. Fla Dem Jul 2020 #2
For me it's that being white and a New England liberal aren't what the ticket needs right now. GreenPartyVoter Jul 2020 #3

But I fear the RW would tear her down as a left wing looney and it would end up hurting Biden.

Rice is higher caliber than any of them and I don't think it's particularly close, after watching more and more of her interviews and speeches.

I believe Harris would always be error prone, regardless of situation and especially if she had to run atop the ticket.
