Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I would not call any of those choices terrific. And the last thing North Carolina or Kentucky needs is to lose their Democratic governor.
Also, I think a ticket with two women on it would be a better answer. Choose Warren or Ocasio-Cortez. There are other options too.
So you want Harris to lose?
I agree, as much as I'd love for that to be the America we live in, it's not.
Beshear just won re-election last year, so he's term limited. His political career in KY is effectively over and with how shit our legislature is, as governor he's essentially powerless anyway. However, I don't think he'll get the nomination- while he's (relatively) popular in KY, he's not gonna turn KY blue for Kamala. I feel that Kelly or Shapiro are better, more strategic options, since getting AZ and PA are far more likely and necessary than trying to win KY.
As a Minnesotan, I don't want to lose Governor Walz.
But he is a top-tier pick in my opinion.
That’s understandable. We appreciate your sacrifice for the good of the nation.
Oh there's a GOVERNOR Walz! I was wondering why they wanted to make Christoph Waltz from Inglorious Basterds VP 😁
Roy Cooper is actually at his term limit, so nothing will really be lost. He'll likely be replaced by Josh Stein. I really don't want Mark "Some folks need killing" Robinson to win, who is currently the Lt Governor.
In other news, US Representative Jeff Jackson was recently gerrymandered out of his district and is now running for Josh Stein's current position of Attorney General.
