    I’m not American but want to be in the loop. Media here is saying Kamala Harris is the likely successor. What do people think of her? Is she liked? I assume her actual politics are more or less the same since she was VP.

      People don’t know her tbh. She used to be kind of a poor public speaker, but seems to have solved that based on recent appearances. Not gonna lie she’s a bit strange if you’ve ever heard her speak, but I don’t think it’ll hurt her against Trump who is an all time weirdo in American politics. Importantly she’s young and fairly sharp and hasn’t been around long enough to have too many skeletons in her closet.

        Well, she’s not old enough to be in a nursing home in Florida like Trump and Biden, but at close to 60 years of age, Kamala Harris is definitely not young. AOC would be the Democrats’ young candidate.

      Not American either, i just hope she chooses Kelly as her VP…a progressive Astronaut in politics is more important than ever.
