I know it's early BUT, do you have a suggestion for a Dem woman running for POTUS or VP? [View all] CTyankee May 9 OP

Whitmer is the obvious choice Fiendish Thingy May 9 #1

Our nominee will be whoever we, the Democratic voters, vote for. W_HAMILTON May 9 #3

Well, of course. We just don't know which woman. CTyankee May 9 #7

If Whitmer runs, she would likely be my first choice Fiendish Thingy May 9 #19

Whitmar has been a really good governor but i don't think she has the charisma to be elected president Buckeyeblue May 9 #38

I don't expect her to run in 2028 Fiendish Thingy May 10 #44
