  • The survey says other Democrat figures seen as possible replacements for Biden—such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg—would also lose to Trump by double figures.

    Disclaimer: I’m on the Momala bandwagon now.

    Part of the problem here is that the job of the VP is kind of meh. Sit around as an understudy in case the main act has a colonoscopy or something, and go down to the Senate every now and then to break up fights. It’s not supposed to be a popular job. So of course people don’t like her. She’s had to stay in the background, particularly when people have doubts about the President’s ability, and if she was more visible people might think it’s because the President needs his nap.

    I don’t believe all these bad numbers will stick, because they’re all hypothetical. If Harris ultimately gets the nod, she will gain in the polls once it no longer becomes hypothetical. (For that matter, so would any other candidate listed. I like Harris, but I like the others listed, too. They can all at least stay up past Jeopardy.)
