My take on Harris' VP pick:
VP doesn't usually make that much difference in an election. It might help in a swing state that is a really close must-win. It might help if there was a perception that Harris didn't have policy creds (not the case). It will definitely matter if there is a real possibility the Presidential nominee might die in office (also not a concern).
Harris should pick the person who can be her successor in 2032.
