Newsome cannot and will not be the VP. Harris is also from California, which would cause issues in the electoral college. Electors cannot cast both the Presidential and vice-presidential ballot for someone from the same state as themselves. Because both Harris and Newsome are form California, it could cause issues, and they might not get the electoral votes from California.
It’s the first clause of the 12th Amendment to the United States Constitution, here’s the relevant text:
The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves
Kamala all the way! It won’t be AOC or Whitmer though. Most likely Kelly or Newsom. AOC is the future, though.
I doubt Newsome, you wouldn’t want both from California
Very good point! Kelly then? That’s my top pick.
so what debate one-liners are you putting on your bingo card?
“Lock him up!” <-- If she doesn’t fucking say this so help me god…
