I think it's way too early to handicap the race..but Walz, Shapiro, Whitman etc are clearly contenders and of course Newsom is 'available'; plus a few Senate folks(Kelly is clearly one)

Hard disagree on Walz as a national candidate; I think what hurts him is notion of 'old white guy'(he's not as old as he looks but it's the perception thing)
I would agree with that if it weren't for the fact that save FDR, history has not been kind to losing VP candidates. And even in FDR's case, it was one full dozen years between the VP and first Presidential run and his political career had grown between those years, becoming a twice elected Governor of the then most populous state in the nation.
All true but Walz was mainly sidelined; which I think was horrible strategy but that's a different debate; I do say this without knowing if Walz wins again for re-election in Minnesota; that's more important than 2024 imo(granted that it's debatable)

Witmer(auto correct)
Agreed except for Walz. Thanks to 2024, he now has the loser tag on him.

Further it was Harris who actually lost; Veep is not a voting issue (never has been)

I didn't see him being sidelined at all. I don't get that. He was a very active and I thought excellent campaigner.
Yep. He headed quite a few rallies.
I felt like he was sidelined in the latter stages.. I thought he was a terrific messenger to rural areas and should have been even more active
It's just so early though for speculation; I bet if I thought it out, I could come up with 25 names..!!.. Lmao
