20. I don't think state or region is the main factor in choosing a VP.

A running mate needs to match up and compliment the nominee and provide more broad benefits like being charismatic, intelligent and have strong background that makes people feel comfortable that person could handle being POTUS should something happen to the President. Kamala is an amazing speaker and would be a great attack dog for Biden. Also, issues with her prosecutor background has been greatly exaggerated by many on the left. In fact one could argue her being a tough prosecutor could actually help in the general.. not withstanding progressives having issues with it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
