Vice presidential nominees can be used to balance a presidential candidate's ticket to appeal to a wider swath of voters, and Harris is weighing a list of mostly white, male candidates
I don’t know much about him, but if you’re right, maybe they’re worried he will be too much candidate for VP? Like everyone will start thinking the roles should be reversed? If I were working for the Trump campaign, and Harris picked a home-run VP with no obvious flaws to pick on, that’s how I would spin it. We’ve already had the nominee drop out, so anything goes. Sow rumors of discontent among “anonymous party leaders” calling for Harris to step aside for a better candidate.
That’s not how they will couch it, though. It will be shit like, “Doesn’t she seem tired?” “She’s been VP for four years, but what has she accomplished?” “She doesn’t have the popularity|polling|gravitas to win against Trump.” “Her VP is polling better in these swing states, and has a better chance to win.” “Bigots will vote against her, but they might stay home if the VP is the nominee.”
