I say she goes with Shapiro, hoping to shore up the Jewish dem vote. It’s been taking a beating with President Trump pointing out that you have to be nuts to be Jewish and vote dem. I’m hoping this is the case, because while it may help with the Jewish vote, it will also infuriate the pro-Hamas wing of the party, and that’s fairly substantial.

If that's the reason Shapiro is being considered, she loses.
I honestly can't find where the jew vote makes a difference in the general election. American Jews of voting age are estimated to represent around 2% of the population of the United States Jewish voters represent 2-5% of the electorate.
Most live in states that would vote RAT without them. New York (8.3%), New Jersey (6/1%), Massachusetts (4.3%), Maryland (3.9%), and Connecticut (3.3%) – have strong Democratic majorities, irrespective of how the Jewish population might vote.
States that might have been in play in 2020 are all states in which the Jewish population represents a relatively small, in some cases vanishingly small, part of the total population: Florida (3%), Nevada (2.5%), Pennsylvania (2.3%), Colorado (1.8%), Maine (0.9%), Michigan (0.9%), Wisconsin (0.6%), Minnesota (0.8%), New Hampshire (0.8%), and North Carolina (0.3%).
After all that, Pres. Biden picked up about 75% of that 2-5%. That wont help Kamala.
What picking Shapiro might do is loosen some purse strings...

(Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?)
