Dems Go Full Throttle On Kamala After Biden Drops Out Of 2024 Race
Update (1630ET): And just like that, the Democratic party has gone all-in for Kamala Harris - who did so poorly in the 2020 election that she dropped out before the primaries. Just hours after Biden's campaign manager insisted he wasn't leaving the race.
Now the question turns to who's going to be her VP pick. Newsweek suggests these as top-5 candidates:
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro
A rising Democratic star, Josh Shapiro is often floated as a possible running mate for Harris. He governs a major battleground state and could help Harris make inroads among voters in the Keystone State.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper
Roy Cooper's governorship has been a sign of hope for Democrats in the Tar Heel state.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer
Gretchen Whitmer's name has long been floated as a possible presidential candidate, and a Harris-Whitmer ticket would mark the first all-women ticket in history, which Pitney described as "intriguing."
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear
Andy Beshear impressed many Democrats when he won a second term in the conservative state last year.
California Governor Gavin Newsom
Newsom has become one of the most nationally recognizable figures within the Democratic Party.
