    Just spit balling here, but what might happen if Harris taps an out-in-the-woods Republican like, I dunno, Adam Kinzinger as a running mate on a unity ticket? He was a pretty middle of the road Republican and participated in the J6 investigation.

    He’s not a seated Democrat, and doesn’t seem actively to be seeking office. He’s clearly no fan of Trump…

    I’ll see myself out now.

      Unlikely to happen unless he formally changes parties, even going (I) might be sufficient though.

      The problem is that there are a lot of racists who won’t take kindly to her election, and if the worst happens her VP will take over. Putting even a moderate Republican there may give them more of a reason to try something uncouth, thinking her replacement would be better.
