wants to make a serious reachout to the progressives of the party and try to smooth things over. His best best is probably Ayanna Pressley.

She's been around a while (has Kennedy connections). She's in "the squad". She was born in a swing state (Ohio). She's a WoC.

Not saying she's going to be the choice, but I'm sure she's going to be discussed and possibly vetted.
