If you want someone high energy who will take the fight to trump while Biden hangs out in the basement you have to go Harris or Warren ...

I will read a post here, and say to myself, "yup it's gonna be Rice as the VP pick, then I'll read another post and think it's gonna be Harris as the VP pick, and so on and so on it goes.
I can't make up my mind who it's gonna be.
But, I can tell you one thing, picking Elizabeth Warren would be an unmitigated disaster. Warren finished 3rd in her own state primary, which says a lot about her 'popularity'. Warren will cost Biden votes. She is disliked in Massachusetts, disliked in the New England states, and pretty much despised thru out the country by all but the talking heads on television and a few academia types. If Biden wants to pick someone who will fire up every Trumper in the country to get out and vote, it's Warren.
I wish Biden could find himself a blank slate for his VP pick. Someone everyone would say "who?", someone with no baggage. Sadly a person like that doesn't exist.
The best person for the job ...
Jill Biden, but that's never gonna happen.
As far as Gretchen Whitmer for VP, I think at this point Biden needs to pick a Woman of color. I think going Caucasian at this point will piss people off, people you need to get out the vote.
I wish Biden could find a 'nondescript' well-spoken Woman of Spanish-African-American heritage, with a hint of political experience, for his VP pick, but I don't know of one.
