since he isn't running and the voters in Kansas are disgusted with the GOP.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Joaquin Castro as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas.

I get that it's Texas, but I can't see putting someone on the ticket who hasn't held statewide office.

CO(+1D) and AL(-1D) cancel each other out.
O'Rourke-D can win in AZ(Kelly-D), GA(Abrams-D), and NC(Jackson-D).

It feels almost feels like Biden and Biden Jr.

If Biden wins, and you want to pick up a couple of southern states and excite the base, I think Stacy Abrams can do the trick.

and you've got something. Who do you think the base of the party is? That would risk too many staying home. The ticket should reflect who the party is.

An old white male from the East Coast and A young black female from the West Coast.
Can Harris help Biden carry AZ,GA,and NC- States that have battleground US Senate Races in 2020 that Democrats need to win to regain control of the US Senate?
