sigh No mention of Katie Porter. I really want her to stay involved in national government and she’s sharp enough to be VP.

The people mentioned are all fine, I suppose, but that list is pretty short on anyone but white guys. Maybe that’s just part of the political calculus of running a black woman or maybe it’s just about capturing a specific state, but I was hoping for something a little more aspirational. VP pick doesn’t matter all that much in the end but there are a couple of people who would excite me and none of them are dudes.

Yeah, it’s not going to be another woman. As sad as it is to say in the 21st century, adding a white man to the ticket would bring a sense of comfort and familiarity to many voters.
