    We encourage her to select a moderate VP like @GovernorShapiro, @RoyCooperNC, or @GovAndyBeshear.

    I mean…ok? They’re not awful, and I guess they could probably pull some halfway decent middle-America folks who are queasy about Trump.

    I’d still prefer someone further left, but tbh they could do worse.

      Coop is a lefty that presents well as a moderate. We had the fortune of seeing him in person at Lovett or leave it in Asheville. It was a good show.

      It’s just that the NC GOP has such a lock on this state that there’s very little his administration can do other than be a blocker for their most batshit ideas.

      We don’t have to be concerned about Kamala keeling over due to old age, so the VP can return to being unimportant again. A lefty vp would be great, but wouldn’t make many waves

        If the Democrats retain the Senate, though, it will be with the slimmest of margins. So the VP will probably be called on to break several ties. Yeah, the VP will vote for whatever the Democrats want, but they’ll still get their name in the paper.
