“The new VP will be chosen by House Republicans.”
Have you ever wondered why politicians who appear to have made their chops by opposing X sometimes vote against their own interests regarding X? It’s because the number one interest of a politician is to get reelected. Their support for or fight against X is the means to an end, reelection. But because the voters are fickle and easily led, they can come up with an excuse for their one errant vote on the subject of X. Why would they vote against X? Because selling that vote got them something they wanted, a highway named for them, a bridge to nowhere, funding for whatever they wanted, etc. This sort of horse trading goes on all the time. While We The People think of politics as a means of protecting citizens or furthering national interests, the people we elect to office have their own agenda. You can count on the new VP being everything the Democrats want because they and their billionaire friends will pull out all the stops to make it so.
