2020 Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee-Al Franken (D-MN)

Al Franken (D-MN) is the ideal Vice Presidential runningmate to either Cory Booker (D-NJ), Kamala Harris (D-CA), or Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and here is why.
Franken is a progressive Democratic US Senator from MN-a battleground state in the midwest. MN has and will have a Democratic Governor after 2018. Franken's US Senate successor will be a Democrat-Keith Ellison.

He's a solid progressive, charismatic, young, and untainted by any scandal, real or invented.

consider Franken to be the likely Presidential nominee with Kamala or Cory as the VP runningmate.

Top or bottom, wouldn't matter to me, although ideally I'd love a Warren/Franken ticket.
