Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Pulse of DU poll- The Biden Veepstakes [View all]honest.abe
(9,238 posts)75. Any discussion of Biden's VP should consider the real possibility of Nikki Haley as Trump's VP.
There has been alot speculation about it and it does makes sense from the GOP point of view. They may be desperate when they see the polling running up to the convention and they could throw a hail mary like they did with Sarah Palin in 2008.
So our VP needs to match-up well to Haley. She is very knowledgeable, has lots of experience, "young" in relative terms, has good stage appeal and is a minority.
Considering all that, I think Kamala Harris would be the best against Haley. It clearly cant be Warren who would look like her mother or even grandmother on stage. Abrams or Demings would also be good choices but Harris seems the best.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Sorry, but today, in this dangerous climate, all bets are off. Experience equals stability.

Agree with all points, plus it will be fun watching her debate Pence (if he's still on the ticket).

That is an issue but she has a interesting background that could play well to voters.
