I don't think many other candidates have anywhere close to the Black voter appeal that Ossoff does ATM

I feel like aoc would be a better vice ticket, both to sell to people and because the VP slot is traditionally where you put the firebrand ( Biden was an exception!), but I actually think I would like her as president more. That said, I am not going to be picky.

we’re gonna need to rebuild the DOJ and I think she could be the lady to do it.

Ossoff is the only 2028 contender who I think wouldn’t ruin AOC’s outsider appeal by picking her to be VP.

Something somebody said that stuck with me is Ossoff will be allowed to be mean in a way AOC isn't.

Also feels like a real shot at the mythical “vp actually has a job with real responsibilities” that keeps getting gestured at but never arrives, Cheney notwithstanding

I’d have a hard time w Ossoff putting his senate seat at risk in the 2030 midterms for VP & obviously that’s a no if GA has an R governor appointing his successor until the next election. Honestly, if KLB loses the GA governor race, it makes it harder to support him for President

also shout-out to Alben W. Barkley, Truman's VP, who served in the Senate afterwards

💯

This is what I'm hoping for atm, either combo has potential to be a killer ticket.

I was worried when he was first elected that he was going to face a lot of trouble for his reelection because that was such a prime environment for Dems to win in GA. But uh...that worry is long gone.

I mean that was essentially the Joe Biden playbook

Charlie Brown had hoes

We should have a tough primary to test all these candidates out. When Ossoff comes out on top, AOC would be an interesting running mate. People would be excited.

I mean...

I don’t think it’s limited to the gen z girls

I don't think he's the *only* one, but he's one of the only ones going viral for it because he knows how to use social media well.

The Laken Riley Act and confirming Rubio will probably be his two biggest liabilities in the primary.

He's come a long way from the GA-06 days. Don't see eye to eye with him on everything, but the idea of a millennial dem president is very attractive

Incorrectly, I may add. I think this poll showed she has broader appeal than what self-conscious Dems believe.

Don't think #MayoPetes winning South Carolina 🙄🤦‍♀️

Ossoff's probably the one Dem that can siphon off Harris' support among black Southern Democrats. Though AOC has been doing quite a bit of retail politics there recently. Not to mention her endorsing Jeffries for Speaker once the Dems take the House in November.

Not having a government job, Mayor Pete can go on TV and stump for other candidates. That keeps him in the public eye. Also, those of us who pay attention to DOT thought he did a good job there. I get the excitement for Ossoff, but most people don't know who he is yet.

The worms in my brain are reacting to this sentence like a slug in a salt bed

Pete discourse is just “everything is 2016 again”

Ro Khana thinks he can pull tech money away from republicans and so do his voters. They are both wrong.

we call him mayor pete because he has zero success in electoral politics outside of south bend. cannot be the nominee.

Probably make a fine cabinet level appointee again

Wait, though, hear me out: Lincoln Chafee

I said to my mom of Ro Khanna "doesn't that guy have a job?" after his fourth MSNBC hit of the week and that basically cut off any chance of a Khanna vote lol

I…question that assumption as well. If he was able to turn “able to talk to GOP voters” into votes, why didn’t he run for Indiana’s senate seat while he lived there? And if he can’t turn them into votes in red states, specifically his OWN red state, what are we even doing here?

Pete's been a bit too "concerned" about trans-issues 🧐🤨

a powerless role would be far better than letting him have a cabinet position

Rho khanna strikes me as a not quite informed not quite low info pick. Sees his name come up saying good things, doesnt pay close enough attention to see the warts

Yeah didn't think that contingent would get you to 19 but what do I know. He's good on cable news but don't think that's enough

I’ve said it elsewhere but Pete’s ceiling is cabinet member. There is nothing wrong with that by the way, but the dude is great at going on shows hostile to an administration and making a case for it but if he’s not focused will talk for hours saying noting.

No Rahm 🤷‍♂️ 🤣
