One of the most out-there suggestions I've heard for Harris's running mate is Liz Cheney. Apparently to make it a "women's rights" ticket.
Thing is, that's about all the two have in common. And a mixed Dem/GOP ticket isn't going to fly unless there's an actual war on and the USA needs to look united in the face of the enemy. So... well, it's possible, but it's about as possible IMHO as is climate change undoing itself spontaneously.
More realistically, this is a definite personality test. Anybody who wants the job as a stepping-stone to the Oval Office has to be willing to work for a woman... and that's a rare ability in men over 45. Too much unconscious training from their fathers that "men work and women tend house" (never mind that tending the house is just as much work as any paying job is). If the Dems have such a person, now is the time for them to make themselves known... to the party brass, at the least.
