[@nicholaspassage1295]

@@Pestcontrolguy24 A large part of it is the preexisting dislike for Harris from others I notice, like she legitimately is less popular than she probably should be, while less people know of Gretchen. Gretchen also had a very relevant experience in relation to the "violent rhetoric" the right has made up for the left. To me it feels like the better choice between the two but I also could see Harris taking Whitmer as VP. Personality is huge, and Whitmer kind of oozes it. Basically anybody young enough would be nice, but she seems like a great option.
