Kamala Harris is my number 1 pick as Joe's VP. Sloumeau Mar 2020 #10
She's a shoe in for AG. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #13
Liz for HHS or education. Kamala for AG. GemDigger Mar 2020 #14
I think Abrams should also be tapped for the cabinet, but not for VP (yet.) Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #15
I agree with you mcar Mar 2020 #27
Kamala knew Beau Biden when they were both attorney general of their states Walleye Mar 2020 #29
It's interesting the opportunity that Joe Biden has. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #34
I think it's great. We have so many talented people Walleye Mar 2020 #39

It will be Harris, or Abrams... Outside chance for Beto JCMach1 Mar 2020 #31

Why I put Harris first on the list JCMach1 Mar 2020 #37
I agree, I think Warren is a dark horse. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #42

Yes, its that, but it's also the Birdseye view as well. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #43
I agree still_one Mar 2020 #45
Beto could be Kamala's VP in 2024 Walleye Mar 2020 #46
