Stacy Abrams will not be pleased.
The irony is that Whitmer over Abrams would alienate the hardcore social justice crowd. She has high negatives after her HRC melt-down when she lost. She would perform worse today for the governors office than she did in 2018. Sore loser.
Whitmer has not performed well in Michigan during this crisis. She has high negatives and would be unlikely to win the governor’s race if it were held today. Very dictator like.
The downsides to both are obvious and again this points out how weak the democrat field is in 2020. The frightening thing is that they still have a legitimate shot even though their candidates have lots of problems.
It did not help Biden when he pandered-pledged a female running mate. They should have thought this through a bit more and based on leftwing insider reporting I don’t think Biden’s handlers knew he was going to do that on the trail. Who knows?
I don’t see any realistic pick that strengthens the Biden ticket beyond playing the demographic game.
