    Also, one of the critical qualities people seek for a VP is that they’re boring.

    You dont pick a vp that’s popular- they might get more popular than you- and you don’t pick a vo that’s “controversial”

    One might risk more, if the person is from a battleground state and is popular,

      Biden gave her basically all meh jobs as VP too. Might have been on purpose. Give her something to do without setting her up to primary him.

        she wasn’t popular enough to primary him. there was some issues, IIRC, with her history as a prosecutor (of the “tough on crime” sort.) She’s certainly more qualified that Trump, or anyone trump would pick as a VP at this point; but I don’t think she’d win her own election… even if Biden had worked to set her up to replace him.
