The problem with this scenario is that a losing VP candidate rarely has a political future these days. In some cases they are even remembered as abject failures. Let’s go back over the last 40 years and see how this worked out:

2016 — Tim Kaine ... LMAO.
2012 — Paul Ryan ... Epic failure.
2008 — Sarah Palin ... Career over. Go away and fix your own family.
2004 — John Edwards ... LMAO x 2.
2000 — Joe Lieberman ... Nobody likes a guy who looks like a melted clown and has a whining speech pattern.
1996 — Jack Kemp ... Now that guy sure disappeared in a hurry.
1992 — Dan Quayle ... The epitome of a dull Republican.
1988 — Lloyd Bentsen ... Who dat?
1984 — Geraldine Ferraro ... There's no political future for the losing VP candidate in a historic blowout loss.
1980 — Walter Mondale ... See 1984. I rest my case.

Compared to the Negro women, Newsome is a “moderate”.

He’s trying to avoid the inevitable... As soon as he selects a female running mate, any hope he ever had of being President are gone forever.

Work on your reading comprehension.

Seriously?
Go back to the article and show me where that was made clear; or your comments for that matter.

I'm not psychic, only psycho.

If I was asked by Biden to be his VP nominee I would tell him thanks but no thanks. He's a perennial loser.

He has lost a lot of California voters with his daily press conference and closing the state since March 21st.

Not enough to lose California, though - and it won't matter in 2024. He's prettier than any Republican, the networks will give him the full Cuomo treatment, and white suburban female voters won't take much convincing to believe he is much nicer than that awful Mike Pence who wants to take away their right to choose.

You do not want Newsom anywhere near the presidency.

When you have a GLARING error in your first sentence, your entire article is worthless.

Geraldine Ferraro
Former United States Representative
Geraldine Anne “Gerry” Ferraro was an American attorney and Democratic Party politician who served in the United States House of Representatives. In 1984, she was the first female vice-presidential nominee representing an American major political party.

It was the FIRST hit in a Bing search.

I’d give Biden a week, maybe a month before something would happen. Just saying.

Although he has hurt a lot of people in California (and appears to enjoy doing so as the tyranny continues unchecked), Governor Nancy-Pelosi’s-Nephew would not do well — at this time — in a national election. Besides, he is melanin-challenged and is the “wrong” sex (though he could “identify” ...)

A lot of people on this thread, have raised a lot of ultimately irrelevant considerations for the selection.

Bottom Line: How does his hair smell?

Nah, he should pick Rahm Emmanuel if he’s going that way. But, if he chooses a Californian, it MUST be Kamala Harris so the Democratic ticket can be a senile old child molester and a whore.
