VP Kamala Harris campaigned in Atlanta today, and many of us got a livestream of it, plus a video afterward about organizing for the fall campaign. It is still up in the air who her running mate will be. I almost hope it will be Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan; that would really get people talking. I don't think it will happen, but you never know.
As this writer notes, other possibilities have issues. The author needs to understand 67 is not considered "elderly." Not this day and age.

Obituary: William Calley, who as lieutenant was the central figure in the infamous 1968 My Lai Massacre, has died at the age of 80. He died on April 28.
Snip:
According to historians, his actions sharply divided the nation, pitting those who supported the US efforts to rout out communism against those who felt the tragedy underscored the country’s moral and ethical decline during the war.
“The photograph of the Napalm Girl … the picture of General Loan shooting the Viet Cong in Saigon. Calley just brings to mind all of those things,” said Bill Allison, history professor at Georgia Southern University and author of the book “My Lai: An American Atrocity in the Vietnam War."
“But the fact is, the vast majority of the NCOs and young lieutenants and captains served with honor in Vietnam and did the best they could in this horrible situation,” Allison said.
“And they didn’t wantonly kill unarmed men, women and children.”
