For the sake of argument, let's say Newsom is the Dem nominee.

Does he keep Kamala as his VEEP? I ask because I don't think the Democrat Party coalition can survive with a non-token VEEP candidate. This would be especially true if she is replaced by a white male.

If he doesn't keep her on the ticket, which black female does he pick to replace her? The Dem political bench is so shallow it makes a kiddie pool look like the Marianas trench.

I don't think Okra would take the pay cut and I don't think Newsom could stand sharing the spotlight with Big Mike Obama even if she/he/it (say it real fast) would accept.

When you control the elections to the level that the democRATS do, you don’t need a deep bench. You can elect a ham sandwich.

Note: The “same state” argument is not valid here either.
The candidates are voted on as a pair and the EV is not impacted in the State they share residence.

They are not doubly-represented by the electors of the State.

Trump did.
She might think she can, too.

Does she need to be black? Could she Hispanic or “Other?”
