What's next for Kamala Harris: presidential nominee or vp pick, again?

Kamala Harris is the front runner for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination after Joe Biden's endorsement Sunday.

President Joe Biden dropped out of the running after weeks of speculation — and outright demands by key Democrats — that he should let someone else take the lead.

Shortly after bowing out, he threw the weight of his endorsement behind his loyal vice president, Kamala Harris. She has since released a statement accepting his endorsement and her "intention to earn and win" the nomination.

While Harris is now considered front runner for the upcoming election, there is no guarantee that she would win the nomination for president or vice president or neither.

The Democratic Convention is coming up on Aug. 19-22, when the party's 3,900 delegates will select and cast their votes for the party's new nominees for president and vice president.

If the vote doesn't produce a clear winner with majority of delegates, then the additional 700 superdelegates will also vote, and continue to vote until there is a winner.

There have been several other contenders whose names were floated as possible Democratic candidates for the presidency before Biden's withdrawal. These include Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and Gavin Newsom of California.

Harris will have to rally her party's supporters and donors around her and make the case that she can win against Donald Trump in November.

Polling in the days and weeks ahead will set the stage for whether Harris can make a case as the presidential candidate to beat Trump in November or if she would be better suited as the vice president to a stronger contender.

The DNC chairman Jamie Harrison has stated that the Democratic Party will "undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward" as a united party with a candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in November. This leaves all options on the table for anyone who can make the case to win in November.

This situation raises the question:

Could Kamala Harris be vice-president on someone else's ticket?

Historically, vice presidents have not often sought the vice presidency on another candidate's ticket.

However, given the dynamic and strategic nature of modern politics, it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility. Harris could leverage her experience and appeal to certain voter demographics to strengthen a presidential candidate's ticket, making her a valuable asset in the Democratic Party's strategy to secure the White House in the 2024 election.
