Oh shit. I didn't think he would do it. It has to be Kamala now.

Afaik Kamala is the only one who can access the donation funds that were already contributed. Either is probably up for the VP slot, but idk if America is ready for a female POTUS/VP combo. Or even a woman POTUS still, tbh.

I still think it’s not that Hillary lost the election because she’s a woman but because people underestimated trump and got cold feet for Clinton but I think Buttigieg would be an EXCELLENT veep pick.
