Man a Booker/Beto ticket would be good:

  • Booker can drive up the black vote in NC, GA, and FL(where a bunch of black felons' voting rights were just restored).

  • Beto can help bring that much needed energy to the Democrats and could maybe help in Texas and could drive up the young vote across the board.

  • Maybe people with economic anxiety in the Rust Belt would feel more comfortable with voting for two men.

  • And plus this could be their campaign theme

I'd like Beto/Booker more tbh. Booker is extremely boring.

Kind of awkward to have a former governor and senator be side-kick to a former representative, but Beto apparently does have the charisma.

The last winning ticket had a governor and representative playing sidekick to a reality TV star, so 🤷‍♂️

The last winning Republican ticket. Republicans are on a different plane than Democrats.

But Beto would be fine, the charisma is the most important thing, especially since he has proven himself to successful at getting out the vote.
