The race to be Kamala Harris’ running mate has already started.
Moments after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential contest and endorsed his vice president on Sunday, speculation began swirling over who would be Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Some Democrats started floating their preferred picks.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, for instance, “would be an excellent choice” to share the ticket, said Philadelphia Democratic Party chair and former Rep. Bob Brady.
Govs. Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina are both being considered as running mates, according to a person familiar with the conversations. And a Democratic strategist close to the White House said that Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) is also under consideration. The people were granted anonymity to speak freely about the new political dynamic.
Other candidates mentioned include
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
California Gov. Gavin Newsom
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker
Maryland Gov.
Wes Moore
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg

How important do you think it is for a vice presidential candidate to have similar beliefs and policies to Kamala Harris, and why?
@9RCKMD72yrs2Y
Similar but different. I think it should be a progressive dem, but slightly different views.
@9RCK9K22yrs2Y
So that their beliefs do not collide and they can come to an agreement, also if something would happen do Kamala and the vice would take over, there wouldn’t be a dramatic change in and instant

@FondJerkyGreen2yrs2Y
I heard Bernie Sanders' name mentioned, though I do agree with you, I can't see her going for an old red.
@GrassrootsArtDemocrat2yrs2Y
Hope it's Mark Kelly. Very interesting indeed!
