Ok, so for the sake of argument, let’s say Kamala gets the promotion. As part of the political brokering that goes into the ol’ switcheroo, the DNC powers-that-be give her and her team some guidelines for picking a running mate: white male, comes from a red-to-reddish state, has served at the state or federal level (either elected to Congress or served in a cabinet-level position), and is 65 or younger. Also has to have some level of name recognition (can’t just be a random white congressman from a random district in, say, Arizona).
I’ll put forth a list of possibilities for you all to vote on, as I’m curious who you think would be the biggest asset to the ticket, from this list of dudes who fit the above criteria:
- Andy Beshear, governor of KY
- Steve Bullock, former governor of MT, ran for prez
- Pete Buttigieg, Sec of Transportation, former mayor of South Bend, ran for prez
- Mark Kelly, Senator from AZ
- Mitch Landrieu, senior advisor to the president, former lt. governor of LA and mayor of New Orleans
- Beto O’Rourke, former congressman from TX, ran for prez
