Newsome. Is that who they gonna trot out?
Technically they can, but it’d be unwise. It would mean they’d have to count the EC votes from their state for either prez or VP, but not both.
I would guess they would say her residence is no longer California. They didn’t “run” together, they would also argue.
Butigieg’s been mentioned. Seems more likely.
Midwest governor to counter Vance.
Louisville media talking up Governor Beshear as the one.
VP selection needs to be voted on by Congress.
Just naming a VP isn’t a sure thing. Then again never under estimate the RINO’s ability to “Biden” things up.
She’ll go with a more moderate appearing white male. Kentucky Governor
They’ll run as one ticket. Campaign together.
Both Bush and Cheney were Texas residents in 2000.
Cheney simply changed his voter registration to Wyoming.
Pritzker from Illinois?
The only restriction Amendment XII creates pertains to votes in the Electoral College.
There is nothing to say President and VP cannot be from the same State, this wo;uld be particularly true for an appointed VP.
What is not allowed is for Electors from a State (California, in this case) to vote for two people from their State.
So, assuming that Harris and Newsom ran as a ticket, California’s 53 Electors could vote for Harris OR Newsom, nut not both.
Not to worry. As I have posted, over and over here since December 2022, Newsom/Whitmer is the ticket, this was decided a LONG time ago, the charade they are playing has two purposes:
First: When Biden steps down, a huge rush of air goes out of the GOP balloon. All the FJB retards will be so busy celebrating they may even forget to vote.
Second: There will be little time to start up an opposition to Newsom. This man has one of the biggest gender gaps in American politics (he has fantastic hair, after all), and he will play “those wascally wepublicans being MEAN to me for all he’s worth.
In two years, “Kamala Harris” will be the answer to a trivia question.
My brother says it’s going to be Harris Shapiro. FWIW
No worries. Newsom has his sights on 2028.
Harris/Bernie
The restriction isn’t on “residents”. It’s on “inhabitants”.
Bush and Cheney were allowed to get away with it. Trump and Rubio never would have been.
As a Kentuckian the idea of giving Baby Doc Andy, the baby faced despot, any more power than he has now is repulsive and frightening.
… for now.
The 12th amendment only prohibits Electors from voting for more than one person from the same state as themelves.
Filling a vacancy is an act of Congress, not the Electoral College.

Romney as a national unity ticket.
