#Clinton as VP would probably be a strong concession to the ImWithHer crowd but isn't as sure a bet as Harris being the top pick to replace

It sounds like Biden will be forced out of the race and, if he is, Harris will almost certainly take the hotseat. I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton were the Veep, and that combo would definitely fire up a panicking base. Regardless of the VP nom, the Republicans tapped JD Vance, who has some of the worst possible politics a man can have. If you asked me what would get me to vote for Trump, the answer is nothing, but if my hand were 100% forced, it would be that JD Vance was running against him.

So the Democrats are once again handed a golden ticket, and it really only is to determined whether they'll take that lifeline or flounder. An absolutely incoherent Biden stands at solid shot at taking out Trump as it is, but if I were the leadership, I'd be too uneasy to let it stand. Biden and Trump are both so bad that people make actually have forgotten just how awful Harris is and if she stays on script people will likely keep forgetting (genuinely or willfully) until at least Trump loses. So that's what I would bet on if anyone asked - which nobody did.
