Veep regret: As Harris sags in the polls, what happened to the five women overlooked for vice president?

In the wake of scrutiny surrounding President Joe Biden’s age, the debate over whether Vice President Kamala Harris harms or helps his reelection chances persists. During her tenure as Biden’s right hand, Harris has faced massive amounts of criticism for various aspects of her job performance. 

Biden considered numerous candidates before selecting Harris, a decision that has heavily influenced his public approval. Five prominent women were considered for Biden’s running mate.

Those women were passed over in favor of Harris four years ago. Here’s what has happened with them since.
