But we cant lose a Senate seat (Warren would be replaced by their GOP governor). And Kamala wouldn't help the EC during the election - we need a swing state and CA is firmly Dem.


I love Stacy Abrams though!

Got to see her speak at a small event and meet her. She would be a great choice, along with Val of Kamala, IMO.

I want Liz as Senate Majority Leader!!

She could build a powerful Southern political base, and we've seen how important it is for a Democrat running for president to do well in the South.

President, I think the only way to get one is to have her be a running mate for VP. Once people see how smart and capable she is, they will hopefully get rid of the roadblocks in their heads about women. This is a sad state of affairs in our country that there’s still so much misogyny.

Abrams just simply doesn’t have the experience to be immediately effective in Washington. The VP candidate will be a Senator from a safe blue seat.

Abrams has a great shot a GA Governor in 2022, next logical move for her political career.

who has much stronger resume (AG and Senator of the largest state) and is battle tested having run for president.

And any VP is basically being considered for the Presidency. Especially when the Prez is 78. So I hope Joe picks someone with a heftier election resume.
