I may hear it from both sides for this but I can't imagine I am the only one who sees the potential:

A Biden / Haley ticket.

Biden has always said he is bipartisan. So prove it.

Run on a Bipartisan Democrat/Republican ticket to prove to Americans that the divide can be mended. That there can be common ground and purpose in service of the country.

If I was American right now, that's what I would be hoping for.

@chris This is a real dumb idea. A bipartisan ticket is maybe conceivable as a political maneuver (not for incumbent though), but Biden-Haley definitely ain’t it. Their policies are not close enough.

@chris To add to this, a vote for a presidential ticket is a vote for a particular vision. The VP and president should be aligned, so in the event of the president dying or similar there is a continuity of vision. There’s still some bipartisan overlap on the fringes, so you can imagine a right leaning dem on the same ticket as an extremely moderate republican. But the farther apart their political views are, the worse this idea becomes.

@chris Not only true in US politics. Just look at how the Tory-lib dem coalition destroyed the latter in the UK. Their political views were simply too far apart.
