In 2008, Jill Biden let it slip out that Pres. Obama had given Biden a choice to be Sec. of State or V.P.
Biden didn’t want to do all the traveling required of the Sec. of State. I would think he would want that even less now.

There are a few things about Harris that has given me pause but would enthusiastically donate to her and volunteer for her if she was the nominee.

I'm with Pete but I don't have any expectations he is going to win the nomination. I think he has a bright future and he is in a backward state (I lived there for 4 years). He is never going to be Senator or Governor of Indiana and I think that is why he is running for President. If I had to pick a role for Pete if it wasn't President it would be Secretary of State.

I believe that due to the ages of some of the field, Mayor Pete being the VP with a future makes most sense, although Harris, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Castro, O'Rouke are young enough to serve as VP and still be relatively young on a run for the presidency.
