Ignoring for the moment the fact that it's far from a sure thing that Harris will be the nominee...


A VP partner for Harris would need to balance the ticket better than any of these three. A comparatively moderate governor from a key electoral state would be good. A senior senator would be next best.

It could be different if she's the incumbent... but probably not. If she becomes president before the nomination process, her then-current VP is likely a challenge (since anyone who can be approved by this senate is unlikely to make a great running mate).
