I know total vanity, mods pull if inappropriate.

Thanks for pointing that out, because newscasters never said why not.

My guess is that she could get away with claiming to be a D.C. resident if she changes her voter registration (just like Cheney did). But Newsom has already said he’s not interested.

One person not mentioned thinks they are "owed" the seat.

Total vanity, but if Brandon bows out and kamala becomes president she can't appoint newsom as VP, since they are from the same state.

Your wording makes it clear that you are talking about Biden resigning as President (as per the 25th Amendment), and Harris succeeding him - not about Biden deciding to not run for a second term, and Harris becoming the new Dem. candidate.

In that case, I would ask you to please cite the passage in the Constitution that expressly prohibits a sitting President from filling a vacancy in the Vice Presidency with a person from his/her own state.

“Total vanity, but if Brandon bows out and kamala becomes president she can’t appoint newsom as VP, since they are from the same state.”

Let’s address one point. Biden is President until January 20th whether he runs for reelection or not. He isn’t resigning from office.

Harris or Biden, what’s the difference? They’re both brain dead idiots.

yes she can. The prohibition is on them receiving electoral votes from the state which can be avoided if one changes address ala Cheney when he “relocated’ from Texas to wyoming
