Both make sense strategically. It would be perfect for Beto because otherwise he's hard pressed to win anything in that state that enables him to reach the level his talent warrants.

Our bench continues to be overrated in terms of national electability. Promoting Beto to vice president changes that instantly. Now we've got someone well known, young and viable in case Biden serves only one term.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
