Harris is a likely for the ballot, though no one really likes that option. However she is already on the ticket and can inherit Biden's war chest
When you say no one really likes that option are you meaning the convention or the voters? Harris has awful ratings herself and so would they want to have someone who has ratings worse than the one they already have?
so if they want to win would they not want someone at least somewhat popular with voters. As the flip side to her being on the ticket already and having been in the vice prsident role is people already know what she is like policy wise and have stated that they do not approve of such.
Here is the thing though if people have never heard of him and he has say four months ( what it would be if he replaced Biden on the ballot today would people really go for that.
You may have a good pint there. He is also everything Biden is not.
and if he has four months and is from the VERY red state of KY to boot it is likely that the more left-leaning democrats would not vote for him anyway. He may or may not have a better chance if he were from a purple state which KY is not.
Well, but who would have a decent chance of winning that people actually have heard of and the like. Harris may seem like a good choice, but with her ratings being worse than his and her already being in there ( meaning her ratings are not just low in a particular state) . There is also the issue of people feeling that unless he steps aside or is determined to be unfit to lead by medical professionals with the pramilies having already been held people may say well that is just not right to swich them ( particularly if it is with someone who is not very well-known. This would particularly be the case if they chose someone from a very blue state. I am not talking about someone like Newsome who is well known outside of CA I am talking about someone from a solidly blue state that is only really know in that state.
A big issue is the money Biden/Harris have collected for reelection will not be transferable to others. They could transfer $2000 of the 91 million they have on hand. But if Harris stayed in, she can use it all.
He may be a good choice ( assuming that left leaning democrats ddid not find him too far right.
but would Harris be a good choice if she has worse ratings than he does? In particular, sense she has been defending him up and down would she take the job without being forced to do so?
You mean if they ran president and vice president as you mentioned them as a duo?
