10. Frankly, I don't know much about him

He certainly seems solid enough, but I draw a blank when wondering about his foreign policy experience. I should probably read some more about him.

At the level of the national ticket, for me, I go color blind rather quickly. Competence and experience outshine race for me as a major factor. That goes for the Senate as well. In Georgia in 2022, if the Democrats had put up a white guy with Warnock’s qualifications, it would have been a no-brainer for me to support him over Herschel Walker, who was black, but totally unqualified to serve in the Senate.

For that matter, some diplomat at the UN remarked 25 years ago, when Bush and Gore seemed tied, that the job of president of the United States was far too important a position to be left to the American voters.
