Asking seriously. I never heard any one else suggest this. I'll take anything that can help.

Would be a generational contrast. The young and articulate Buttigieg vs the grump OLD man

She can quickly buy a house in any of the other 49 states and claim it as a residency (like Cheney in 2000). He could too, but then he'd probably have to resign as Governor.

I noticed Wyoming had around 98% voter turn out that year too, but no one else feels that needs some investigation.

Trump got just a tad under 70% of the vote there in 2020. It was Trump 69.94% and Biden 26.55%.

Admittedly, Newsom would have a hard time being governor if he were from some other state, but Harris is a born Californian and maybe she wants to stay one.

Unless you think Harris - the current VP - should stay in the VP slot

I am not sure he can remain as CA Governor if he switches his residency to another state.

But it’s not going to happen. Why would anyone want to run against Harris right now and potentially destroy their future in the party, not to mention tarnish Trump’s new opponent?

The only “race” will be who runs with Harris. My vote is for Shapiro.

Losing to Kamala would establish him for the future. But will his Jewish heritage be a problem? It wasn't in PA for governor. But PA is not the south or Midwest. So, although he'd be a great potus or potus vpotus, could he win?

The presidential nominee is Harris. No question.

Now the only question is whom she picks to be her running mate.

because of the way this went down with us not getting to vote for the change. Also I think if we picked a white woman we would lose the black vote if it wasn't done through primaries.

She has by far the best chance of winning and saving democracy.
