I really hope Biden goes with a different VP pick this go around, maybe Buttigieg or someone more competent. I had hoped Harris was gone for good after the primaries, she’s just been a waste this whole time. Maybe it’s because of how important VPs have been the past few administrations, whereas traditionally it’s been a do-nothing position, Harris has sort of brought the position back to it’s normal role.

I very seriously doubt Biden is going to switch up VP picks. That’s just dumping a truckload of fodder for the GOP to use against him.
Biden isn’t going to lose any votes over keeping Harris. That would imply that Democrat voters are willing to say that they dislike Harris so much that they’re willing to essentially vote for Trump in protest. But he could lose votes over whoever the next VP pick is, as the fact that he switched up VPs midstream is going to immediatly become a focal point of the campaign, regardless of who the new pick is.
I’m not a fan of Harris and she has the personality of sandpaper. But I think going in a different direction would be worse than keeping her around.
I agree. In a time when the party needs to portray confidence, consistency, and predictability in the face of a rudderless and treasonous GOP, the last thing they need to do is hand the position off and inject a bunch of chaos and uncertainty into the process. That’ll hand Republicans all the campaign fodder they’ll ever need.
Harris is a total dud but they’re sticking with her, and we’d be better off if people went ahead and abandoned the idea that she’ll be replaced. It’s just not going to happen.
