I would love Andy Beshear to be the VP. He handled the Covid pandemic awesomely in KY and has been doing a lot of things for greener energy / extreme weather responses. Also, he values education and universal preschool. The only thing I fear is that if he does become VP, KY is going to choose a conservative governor that undoes all he has done.
I suspect that the primary concern is whether a VP can bring a few more voters along in a swing state.
I would rather Beshear too, but mostly because I’m less worried about getting Kentucky having a Republican Govenor than I am about Arizona Senator Kelly getting replaced with a Republican Senator if Kelly becomes the VP pick.
Who the fuck is not concerned about extreme heat at this point who is ANYWHERE near decision making
They need a VP with nationwide name recognition. Not this blah only their own state knows who they are crap.
I understand your point, and I know that you’re not just limiting yourself to governors, but a lot of politicians with name recognition are assholes (I’m looking at you, Texas and Florida).
Can you name some examples of recognizable people for you?
