The problem is that theu know Kamala Harris will be absolutely demolished if they run her. And they kinda have to run the VP if they realize they can no longer run the president.
Liberals have always been about the letter of the law (when it suits them), and I really don’t think they would here. They’re far too busy thinking of how they can pin it on Biden falling apart at the seams and all the money they’re gonna make fundraising during Trump 2.
Newsom has been setting this up for a while. I was talking about it in the news thread. Whether other dem factions will go for it though is anyone’s guess. Supposedly there’s a pretty broad faction in the House that wants Gretchen Whitmer.
Honestly, she doesn’t seem terrible. She seems better than Newsom but I doubt she’d win due to coming out of nowhere and being a woman. Also since she’s just a governor I haven’t had my opinion of her tainted by her inevitably dogshit foreign policy.

They have to do what will hold the Presidency for the Democrats. They’ve shat the bed and need to clean up.
they can put up literally anyone they want for the presidency and no one can do anything about it
They can, but would they?

Gavin Newsom is the prop right now. He’s a somewhat hot white guy that is only 56 so he has a chance.

They don’t have to run Kamala, and only would to cement a defeat in November.
