I like Pete too. I think the wild card is Harris. Not that she has a shot but I'm afraid she thinks she does and will try to run. Someone needs to get to her and say "You did your part, you helped us get elected, you will be rewarded with your choice of assignments in a new Admin, cabinet posts, ambassadorship... maybe a judge" Maybe she can say "I like this job so I'll be the running mate again" She can follow in Calhoun and George Clinton's footsteps.
It'd be best if the D's could have a gentle and uniting primary, as such things can exist. Sounds like Newsom is also all in.
