As Vice President Kamala Harris looks for a running mate, one consideration is how a vice presidential candidate might affect the presidential map. After former President Donald Trump picked Ohio Sen. JD Vance, there was speculation about whether he might appeal to voters in the Midwest. CBS News executive director of elections and surveys Anthony Salvanto examines what Harris' map could look like.

    Can’t wait for Kamala to unburden the burden that was burdened from being unburdened.🤔 weird.

    Fact Check:The border Czar, is Alejandro Mayorkas, Homeland Security, Secretary. He is responsible, for border, control. VP. Kamala Harris was tasked with stimulating the economies, in South American immigrant countries. To date, she's generated more than $5 billion investment dollars, for that initiative.

    Pete Buttigieg is the closest thing to a superhero the Democratic Party has! Of the remaining candidates, he's definitely Harris' wisest pick for VP. By far the best communicator, he refuses to be bullied by today's ill-willed Republicans -- without ever needing to raise his voice or resort to exaggeration. Buttigieg actually thrives in debates and interviews, and he always comes prepared with verified facts and figures, simple analogies, and quick responses -- even when he's being grilled by Congress or far-right news hosts. It's pure joy to watch him not only win his opponents over, but put THEM in on defence! After a solid education at Harvard (degrees in History and Literature) and as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford (Politics, Economics, and Philosophy), he worked as a highly paid management consultant at McKinsey & Co. and could be earning much more money than he does. But his devotion to our country led him to public service where he knew he could make a greater difference. And what a patriot! He served in our military as a Naval intelligence officer. His military experience and deep knowledge of history, economics, and politics uniquely position him to support Harris in international affairs. He entered politics as a transformational mayor of South Bend, Indiana, completely changing the trajectory of a crumbling city by investing in urban development and infrastructure, increasing its employment rate, and much more. His impressive accomplishments in the corporate world, as an intelligence officer in the Navy, as a transformative mayor, as a father, and within the Biden-Harris administration make him a more qualified VP than a person decades older. A Harris--Buttigieg ticket will be unbeatable and give Democrats the landslide victory they need to send Trump packing!

    As we have seen with Border Czar Kamala herself, the VP selection really doesn’t do squat, so let’s move on.

    Voting for Kamala after getting rid of Joe is like changing your shirt after you 💩 your pants. Weird.
