Two frontrunners have emerged in the race to be presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s second in command: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly.
Shapiro, 51, and Kelly, 60, each represent 2024 swing states Democrats badly need to win in November.
“Shapiro is toward the top,” said one insider familiar with the back and forth. “Locking down Pennsylvania would change the entire trajectory of the race.”

I don’t know Shapiro but I don’t like Kelly.
Shapiro is a practicing Jew. AOC and the rest of the Jew-haters would never stand for that pick. Not at all.
What happened to the idiot from NC?
Love to know how they're going to square that with the Jew haters who are taking an increasing and more belligerent role in the Democrat Party.
Whitney has ruled it out. Which is extraordinary. Even if the ticket goes down to flaming ruin, she gets exposure and credit for being a good party hack. I think it would be a real leg up for 2028.
I’m marking this rumor as baseless or a head fake. It is way too risky for them in light of their rabid base to put Shapiro or any other Jew like Polis or Pritzker on the ticket. I still betting on a Latino, Latina, or Latinx; they’ve got to stop the bleeding with Hispanics
Democrat darling and favorite gun gr abber is also Kamala’s VP pick.
Astronaut “I see you” Mark Kelly has another major political liability.
......a high-altitude spy balloon surveillance business he financed w/ a Chinese venture capitalist........
She wants ‘28.
Governor Josh Shapiro has found himself mired in a sexual harassment scandal, putting a damper on his position as a serious candidate for the Vice Presidency under Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
And what happened to Mayor Pete? Wasn’t he the queer future of the Democrat Party? He kicked Kammy’s ass in the 2020 primaries.
She hasn’t won the presidency yet, as long as Harris thinks she’s the heiress, she’ll act like it’s owed her and overplay her hand.
Kelly is a Chinese asset. If he runs, china will help with vote processing/counting/manipulation, if they weren’t already.
Shapiro is your typical soft-left Democrat. Not a radical, but not a centrist either.
Shapiro made a name for himself in PA as Attorney General by vigorously investigating sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. He did a good job there. And I personally know conservative PA Catholics who admire him for helping to clean up the church.
Will that be enough to get Shapiro any conservative votes? I doubt it, but you never know.
Oh, and one more thing. Shapiro is Jewish, and very pro-Israel. If he hopes to be Kamala’s running mate he’ll have to shut up about that.
Democrats are tied to identity politics if they pick Shapiro the party will blow up. Dirty Harris may go for the Arizona senator or the Butt-head guy from Texas.

You can’t have both a spitter, AND a swallower on the same ticket.
I think she’ll pick a woman to maximize the misogynistic backlash. And we will end up with voters being challenged to prove their not sexist by voting for a woman ticket. It worked for Obama in 2008, it could work for Harris in 2024.
Shapiro makes sense. They need a way to “nullify” (at least in their minds) the Trump assassination attempt. So, they pick a local guy and hope that’s enough for the populace to vote for him.
It didn’t work for Hillary, thank goodness!
Well,there’s Jews and then theirs Jews.
Kind of like how Unitarians are a church or jo biden Nancy piglousy are Catholics.
