Kamala is one of the few options with worse approval ratings than Biden tho...

Among the full US public, Biden’s favorability rating stands at just 34%, with 58% viewing him unfavorably. And while many of the Democratic names bandied about as possible replacements for Biden are less widely disliked, none would start with more public goodwill – instead, they are less well known. Harris has the widest recognition – and is also deeply underwater, with a 29% favorability rating, 49% rating her unfavorably, and 22% saying they have no opinion or haven’t heard of her. Roughly half of the public has no opinion on Buttigieg (50%) and Newsom (48%), with about two-thirds (69%) offering no opinion of Whitmer.

She does do better with independents in a head v head poll against trump.

But I can't imagine anyone is seriously thinking her 29% favorability should just be ignored.

Sadly, 69% of people not caring about Gretchen Whitmere makes her our best bet that the DNC is likely to support.

There's no way they'd back AOC

Big Gretch for VP. You heard it here 1st.

She really should have been Biden's VP.

It wasn't too long ago VPs were chosen to carry their home state, and we need Michigan.

Kamala brought nothing to the ticket, there's no way Dems would lose Cali, and she's ridiculously unpopular nationwide.

Even swapping her for Kamala at VP would make me feel better about Biden's chances. Still not comfortable, but better at least
