The 2024 Ticket

While it may be slightly premature, I have been wondering who Harris might pick as her running mate in 2024. (The assumption is that she and Bide oust Trump in November).

Assuming Rice accepts State, which isn't a done deal, she could be in the running. But Harris might pick someone on the left; Stacey Abrams certainly brings the fire that would allow Harris to remain a little above the fray, more "presidential".  If she needed a left learning policy wonk, then would Elizabeth Warren be a good choice.  A two woman ticket would be something.

Another possibility is Pete Buttigieg; Mayor Pete will be 42 which while young is no longer too young. Perhaps it's about time we had a gay candidate.

There are many unknowns; there are people who haven't hit the headlines that might be in the running.  Many thought Gavin Newsom had presidential ambitions, but his route to that job looks difficult at the moment.
