Whitmer would not accept Kamala offer anyway
That's an interesting element to this. It sounds like she and Newsome are not really interested in being the sacrificial lambs this cycle, anyway.
My guess is that it will be either the PA or KY governor.
Gavin can't join Kamala because then you have double California
double female vs double CA?
I think Americans would find double CA more off-putting.
Biden drops out
wow
This is an easy fix. All he has to do is move and register to vote in another state. Maybe a bit more, but not much more than that.
Gavin would have to step down as governor to do that, which seems like a bad political gamble.
I was only speaking to the double same state issue. I didn't suggest he would be the choice.
Gotcha. On that note, Kamala might have an easier time changing her residence, if necessary.
She want to college in DC. That could be the way. Either way, I think we are about to see, because Sleepy Joe won't be it.
PA helps, but KY does not.
Maybe not directly, but I think that sort of connection to the Rust Belt might help.
But it needs to be a Rust Belt state with more Electoral College votes and is in play. PA is right on, as is MI.
I agree with MI, conceptually, I just think their actual governor won't appeal.
I'm not particularly familiar with either of these guys, but politicos talk about them as being very popular in their states and they don't have any national baggage yet.
Yeah, but it is not about the popular vote.
Fair point, she did get re-elected after all.
Why not?
Yeah, you don't know her. We speak very openly and I'm not particularly right-leaning.
Where you may have a good point is that she likely would vote for that ticket over Trump/Vance, despite not liking it. When Trump got elected he had lower favorability than Clinton, so that's not the whole story. They don't need people to like it, they just need people to vote for it.
