Color me surprised. I thought for sure Kamala the Hooker would have picked Josh Shapiro, since the formal announcement was planned for a rally in Philadelphia.
Of course, Shapiro’s Jewish & contradicts the far left’s hatred of Jews & Israel. But he would have helped Kamala the Hooker win Pennsylvania.
But then, Walz is a lot farther left than even Shapiro. He’s in Kamala the Hooker territory, in terms of his political beliefs & policies. Farther to the left than even Bernie Sanders, or Barack Obama.
And Minnesota isn’t even in play. It hasn’t voted for a Republican nominee since Richard Nixon. Even in 1984, when Reagan won 49 states, the Democrats won Minnesota.
Kamala the Hooker must be absolutely sure that the fix is in. So she’s going for ideological purity.
The rumor is that Shapiro turned her down—imho because he was afraid for himself and his family with insane Pali protesters and a DEI watered down Secret Service.
Four years from now the Palis may calm down and the Secret Service may finally figure out that DEI means that the folks they protect may DIE.
My guess is that Shapiro said No.
