If Joe Biden were to decide to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for President in 2024, a heavy favorite to replace him would be Vice President Kamala Harris, although other Democrats might decide to contest her nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.
If Harris is the Presidential nominee, the question is who would be a good choice for Vice President?
It would seem to this author and blogger that either a “swing state” Governor or someone who has proved ability to win office in a “Red” state would make the most sense.
So this author and blogger proposes one of the following two individuals:
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, age 51
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, age 46
Pennsylvania is a crucial swing state with 19 electoral votes, and Shapiro, who is Jewish, has had years of state experience as Attorney General of his state before being elected Governor by a solid margin, and is very popular, and seen as a future Presidential contender.
Kentucky is a “Red” state, but Beshear has been able to win the Governorship twice, and is highly popular, and could, in theory, put Kentucky’s 8 electoral votes in play, which would be a welcome potential addition to the Electoral College total for the Democrats.

Well, I would say that Trump and his allies are Confederate traitors rather than American patriots.
This is good to hear. The Labour Party in the UK is projected to sweep out the Conservatives after 14 years. Maybe this could be a good sign for here as well.
