Vice President Kamala Harris is beginning to vet about a dozen possible candidates to be her running mate as she approaches one of most consequential decisions of her new presidential candidacy.
I dislike the concept of a former VP rolling in as a presumptive nominee - I think it’s fine for them to enter the race but being able to chose someone else during the primary is how we stay responsive to what excites people. It’s important to remember that we essentially skipped this primary because no serious politicians would dare run against an incumbent because… tradition… and that’s how we got in this fix in the first place.
