Current betting odds on PredictIt $0.54 Kamala Harris $0.21 Susan Rice $0.11 Karen Bass $0.09 Tammy Duckworth $0.07 Elizabeth Warren $0.05 Val Demmings A little more than 24 hours later and former police officer Val Demings has doubled her price and moved to 3rd most likely on PredictIt. Current prices: $0.49 Kamala Harris $0.22 Susan Rice $0.11 Val Demings $0.10 Tammy Duckworth $0.07 Elizabeth Warren $0.06 Karen Bass Have we ever had a VP who has never won an election (other than being on the presidential ticket)? Not saying Rice being National Security Advisor isn't good experience, but it seems pretty unique to have somebody a heartbeat away from the presidency who has never been elected to any office.

John Adams. Ha, that was the first thing that came to mind and I actually looked up to see if it's true (it is). Wasn't sure if they had any sort of elected officials before 1788. Mayors or whatnot. If they did, Adams wasn't one of them.

FWIW, this is how I rank the frontrunners in terms of who would be the smartest pick for Biden (not necessarily who I think he'll choose):
Duckworth Harris Bass Rice
Note that his campaign has already made it clear the VP choice will be a woman of color. In all seriousness, if he really wanted to drive Dem enthusiasm though the roof (which is what wins elections in America) he'd pick Michelle Obama. She's probably the only person who can unite most of the party and actually make a splash. I'm sure she doesn't want the job (yet).

I actually only have the one account. The days of multiple accounts are long over.

John Adams would be an interesting pick, too.

I don’t get Susan Rice being that high. She has serious foreign policy chops, but so does Biden. Never been elected, and we’d be hearing Repubs scream “Benghazi!!!” every day. Personally I like Demings, she’s kind of a badass.

I really haven’t heard any serious pushback about Harris being a DA/AG. I certainly could have missed something, though. I haven’t paid much attention to the VP vetting process.

Interesting, a family that grew up here all moved away to cities, they are huge Bernie Sanders fans. I’ve noticed on Facebook they have been absolutely trashing Biden.I was kind of shocked because they despise Trump. I wonder if they just won’t vote at all?

Democrats trying to find any excuse at all to weasel Joe out of the debates. That’s a big shocker.
