She's amazing and the best governor we've ever had here in Michigan, you can't have her!

plus, I just don't think a ticket with 2 women would go over well for various reasons. I have no problem with it but in the end I think Whitmer sees herself as a POTUS candidate in 2028. Doubt she's in the running for VP

‘Mayor Pete’ in a VP debate against the ‘Fraud Red Neck Hillbilly!’

Shapiro makes the most sense. We need PA and he would deliver.
I love Andy Beshears but Kentucky is trump country.
The previous poster is right about Gretchen - Michigan needs her.
I like Mark Kelly too but that would be two westerners.

2 'westerners' on the ticket. Hadn't thought of it actually until you mentioned it. I still like Kelly a lot followed by Shapiro.

The other choices would fit well in her cabinet and in positions of great value.

After a little research and thinking, my list goes like this:
1. Josh Shapiro
1a. Mark Kelly
3. Bashear
4. Cooper

Kelly has rocketed to the top for me, I think his military experience would really add a lot to the ticket.
