Excellent points, David.

Yes, this is Harris' first big decision.

She must avoid anyone old. Youth, talent, and the future are vital to lifting her balloon.

Communication is critical in this election, particularly because of the short time—an area where Harris has never excelled. Pete Buttigieg has enviable communication skills and would be appealing and convincing in every conceivable medium.

If anyone can successfully get Harris across the finish line in November, it would be Buttigieg.

A governor or senator from a swing state can deliver one state, although history is mixed.

Many thanks. Best.
