Damaging stories have plagued two candidates at the top of Kamala Harris's running mate search list. On Sunday, we reported that a Democrat running for statewide office in Pennsylvania accused Gov. Josh Shapiro, one of the frontrunners, of covering up sexual harassment in his office.
Harris wasn't likely to choose Shapiro anyway. Despite hailing from Pennsylvania, a must-win state for Harris, his Jewish heritage and pro-Israel positions likely would hurt the ticket among the antisemitic and anti-Zionist wing of the party.
But now the dirt is coming out about another top contender, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). It turns out that he "co-founded a company that specializes in spy balloons, which was funded, in part, by a venture capitalist in China with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party," according to a report from Fox News.
The report explains how Kelly co-founded World View in Tucson, Ariz., in 2012. Initially focused on space tourism using stratospheric balloons, the company's vision has since evolved with technological advancements.
"As we matured our technology, we recognized an opportunity for immediate use cases for our technology through remote sensing services to defense, scientific and commercial customers," a spokesperson for World View told Fox News Digital. "Today, our primary business remains providing remote sensing services to the U.S. Department of Defense and her allies by way of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, as well as servicing scientific organizations like NASA, NOAA and others to better understand Earth from the unique atmospheric layer of the stratosphere."
Axios reported that shortly after World View was started, it received venture capital from Tencent in 2013, then again in 2016.

Margabby kellegiffords is a UPOS.
Anyone with serious future political ambitions would have to think twice about hitching their reputation to idiot DEI Kamala’s campaign vs. Trump.
Heels Up should pick Alan Lickspittle — he already has anointed her as the winner.
Once the Dems decide on something, everyone gets their marching orders and lies as needed.
We need to be proactive and mercilessly attack every potential running mate now on their weaknesses.
Our best strategy right now is to make the Dems convention and VP selection process as messy and protected as possible.
Gretchen Spitmore ran away from this ticket as fast as anyone.
She hasn’t been nominated! Their commie fest is in mid August.
Kamala needs a chimp for VP...
—Ends human hegemony once and for all.
—Animal rights activists will be thrilled.
—It is historic—moving forward to the progressive future.
—The mass media will gleefully support the nominee
—No controversial political past to defend
She’ll have to pick someone that still has years left on their current term, or doesn’t have ambitions for higher office - the latter isn’t a good strategy for the party and the Democrats are all about fealty to the party.
No doubt Kreepy Kamala is in a conundrum.
So, there’s no one willing to accept the sloppy seconds?
Exactly, it’s not over until the fat lady sings, so to speak.
That’s right.
I’ve been calling him gun grabbing China sellout Mark Kelly here for 2 years for a reason.....
I heard the bigun from the olympics isn’t doing anything for a wile...
It’s going to be the Arizona Astro-nut.
Obama wants it. It will get covered up. Actually, Obama wanted Kelly to be the Domocrat’s presidential nominee but he underestimated Biden, if you know what I mean.
This is all so naive.
The “she’s UH HUNNERT PURRSENT certain to lose in November so nobody wants to be VP”.... or “Uh oh, some of the potential nominees have scan-dull”.... it’s all so much hopium/copium.
The daily coronation of Queen Kamala — AND whoever her VP is — will continue unabated through at least election day. There is no “scandal” for Harris, Shapiro, Kelly or anyone else as long as they have that teflon (D) after their name.
Any adverse reporting — about a Democrat — that any ignorant voter will hear about won’t be retained for more than about 10 seconds, if even that long.
Trump/Vance coverage will, on the other hand, be 100% negative in anything aside from “conservative” media echo chambers, as you may have already noticed.
If you’re waiting (hoping) for the Harris Honeymoon to end, you’re going to have a LONG wait.
Tourism balloons, hmmm ….so bus -sized balloons. Like the one that flew from Alaska to South Carolina without interception.
