Gavin Newsom is sane, as compared to red state governors, however I question his judgement (sadly) after all he married Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don Jr;s girl friend. Then again when it comes to sex men have little if no sense. The smallest of two heads do the thinking (been there done that)
Biden hasn't chose a VP yet. Sadly, Kamala is an empty suit. My preference would have been Katy Porter, but I saw her on Bill Maher ,and she waffled her way out of taking a position in culture war issues, because Congress people and Senators , State or Federal, lack the skill set to govern, they learned the politics of amelioration and compromise.
We need a governor as VP not another bipartisan compromiser, we got one now and look what he has wrought, for one think a right wing flak, Merrick Garland. Dude was a moderator for the Heritage Society, and vetted to Obama by the notorious right winger Orrin Hatch R-UT.
I nominate Jay Inslee, Gov. of Washington. He knows how to govern, and just signed an assault weapons ban,.
I think Biden is trapped by his commitment to having a women of color as VP. Not that there aren't qualified WOC, it is that by choosing one that the media will easily torch, is the difficulty.
He needs someone which the independent (never Trumpers) could get behind, and not be scared off.
The choice has to be pragmatic... meaning choosing a sure winner that can boost the votes, not some old tired race horse that has been stomping around the paddock having paid it's dues, which is what the DNC invariably back Like the conservative Terry McAuliffe, and look how that turned out.
A fresh face, without a track record that can easily be oppo researched.
I too like Gavin Newsom and, like all men, he's made mistakes. Kimberly Guilfoyle seems to be a "witchy woman" who is out for her own interests (becoming a First Lady? or more?). She might have realized that being Gavin's wife wouldn't get her what she wanted, but instead that linking herself with Don Jr. might. Whatever the case, I like Gavin's current wife -- they seem a better match.
I'd like to vouch for Kamala Harris. You call her an "empty suit", which I think is a premature judgment. She performed her role as an AG in California well. Now, her role as VP requires her not to steal the limelight from her boss, but to learn the ropes. She's done that well, imo. It appears the Democratic Party wants to take things carefully with Biden's return, so it remains to be seen how Kamala's role might change in a second term.
I acknowledge the accuracy of assessment of Kamala as AG. However as AG she ran a staff, that did all of the work for her, all she had to do was sign. I am not a Californian, but did live there for 7 years 25 years ago. So not familiar with her public performance.
I just know that her public performance as VP has been very vanilla, totally lacking in motivation and charisma and on at least one occasion embarrassing.
Obama also was an empty suit or shall I say a blank slate, which Larry Summers and Rahm Emanuel used like a sock puppet.
'He is a good, honorable decent man, and from what I discern, a faithful loyal husband and a great father.
But he had no experience in governing, his background was a one term senator and community organizing, and it showed It was Biden who told him to instruct the DOJ not to defend the Defense of Marriage act. (Obergefell v Hodges) thus in my vernacular and empty suit., whose staff made all of the decisions, like excluding single payor advocates from the White House, and given Health Insurance executives and lobbyists, essentially open access to the Oval Office.
Totally AHIP's idea via Rahm Emanuel, thus instead of having a few words changing the medicare enabling legislation such as "eligible from birth" we have a 600 page bastard of a document, meat for lawyers, and an AHIP provision, negated (as it should have) by SCOTUS.
Not even Bernie could get Obama's ear, he couldn't get past Rahm, and Pelosi was all on board with AHIP (Association of Health Insurance providers) because the DCCC is dependent on AHIP donors.
Until Trump, the only real difference between the two parties has been on which side of the culture war they stood, and the Democratic stance was more talk than walk. Still is as I see it, because it had a narrow window to pass legislation that would legalize abortion, the same window they used for safeguarding gay marriage.
Fanni is laudable, has real guts,but alas the governor and legislature have passed legislation that permits the governor to replace AG's that he doesn't like .I am sure that Fanni is his reason and target, although the public reason is to replace AG's that are "soft on crime"
Oh boy, Kamala Harris. If VP is supposed to be successor, we caring American Democrats are in deep trouble. I think she's far worse than "empty suit." I think she is unelectable, despite adequate credentials on paper, because of VOICE. Hear in your mind's ear, for instance, Oprah Winfrey's voice. Then try to listen to Kamala. I can't stand it for more than 3 words before I reach for the remote to change the channel. I guess it's politically incorrect to criticize anything about a woman's style, or whatever. But, sorry.

How about Fanni Willis?
What about her in the context of my comment.
