It won't be Abrams. Baldwin and Whitmer are interesting because that gives Biden a fairly popular elected official from crucial states Wisconsin and Michigan, and in Wisconsin the Dem governor would appoint a Dem replacement. Harris is probably the safest choice for Biden, as it doesn't put any doubt that a Dem Senator would win the seat back.

If that's Michigan's governor, she's out.  She will get destroyed for her handling of the virus.  Her state hates her.

There's only a vocal minority against her. Poll after poll during this whole thing has shown most support how this is being handled. Even Republicans surveyed say those ridiculous protests were inappropriate.

"Overall, 64% of those surveyed approved of Whitmer's response, compared to 33% of those who did not. Unsurprisingly, Democrats were particularly supportive, with 96% approving of her actions, and Republicans in opposition, with 79% disapproving.

But Independents, a key voting bloc in Michigan, came down on Whitmer's side, 65%-28%. Forty percent of them said they strongly approved of her actions.

"By any standard, those are terrific numbers for any political figure," Czuba said.

Tuesday’s Washington Post-Ipsos poll has Whitmer’s coronavirus approval rating at an amazing 62%. It’s a great number. Trump’s is at 43%. Not good.

About a week ago, however, Whitmer’s University of Minnesota-Ipsos approval number was at 72%. Also, her 62% was tied for 37th among the nation’s 50 governors ... and only one had an approval rating below 50%. Every governor but the Georgia guy has a great number and by comparison, Whitmer’s isn’t all that special.

If you want to argue polls, I guess you can, but there's no shred of evidence Michigan hates Whitmer. There's a ton of evidence they hate Trump though.

I honestly think he wants to lose.

I rrrrreally wish there was a viable third party candidate.

I think Trump is done. The Scarborough thing just broke him, along with his new press secretary. He's lost the "hold your nose and vote" republicans. All he has left are the sheep.

I'm not voting if Biden selects Abrams or Harris, can't do it. Biden is getting worse and worse, and the only thing that will change my mind is selecting Klobuchar.

Nope.  When push comes to shove, people are going to vote against the Dems.  The right will fear-monger their way to victory unless the left does a better job of fear-mongering.

This will be the sleaziest election ever.  It will be more negative than ever and both sides have easy targets.  Nobody will be motivated by the candidate, so it's all about who can be more sleazy.  Pathetic.
