Tammy Baldwin(D-WI) should be the 2020 Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee.
Baldwin served 6 years in the WI state Assembly(1993-1999), 14 years in the US House(1999-2013) and more than 6 years in the US Senate(2013-present). Baldwin will be the first female and first LGBT Vice President. Baldwin comes from WI, one of the states Democrats need to win. WI currently has a Democratic Governor Tony Evers. If Baldwin becomes Vice President, Evers picks Baldwin's US Senate replacement who will run in the 2022 special Election.
WI US Representatives Ron Kind(WI-3),Gwen Moore(WI-4) and Mark Pocan(WI-2) are the front runners for the US Senate appointment. Other candidates include Lt Governor Mandela Barnes. Attorney General Josh Kaul, and Treasurer Sarah Godlewski.
