Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D), who previously served as that state's Attorney General, is reportedly on Kamala Harris's shortlist for her running mate. Shapiro would seem to bring some significant things to the table: executive experience, popularity in a key swing state, and support from unions.
But progressive groups are nevertheless warning Harris away from Shapiro.
One letter signed by nearly 50 progressive leaders pointed to Shapiro’s “shortcomings as a national candidate” and urged the vice president to consider Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) instead.
“With the compressed timeline ahead of us to defeat the Trump-Vance-MAGA threat, we simply cannot afford any setbacks,” the letter said.
A letter from another progressive group, known as “VP Unity,” said Harris’s consideration of Shapiro has “set off alarm bells” among young voters, Muslims, Arab Americans and activists.
Take a look at those categories. "...young voters, Muslims, Arab Americans, and activists."
From this, we can conclude with reasonable certainty that the "young voters" and "activists" are those who either conducted or are in sympathy with those who held "peaceful protests" in favor of wiping out Israel on college campuses across the country. And were we to draw one of Kamala Harris's beloved Venn diagrams of "Muslims" and "Arab Americans," there would likely be an almost complete overlap.
The quiet part they aren't saying out loud? Governor Shapiro is Jewish. And he supports Israel, although he has been critical of Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Heh- the girl boss duo— love it! Men and a hell of a lot of women do NOT want to be harrassed by Harris and whomever she picks. Across all races, btw. Hope she chooses wretched Gretchen and her broom.
Tone dear these libs- completely tone deaf. Not having worked for a living— the political types have no clue, except posturing and raking in unearned cash for their mouth. Disgusting.
In Polorics, you have to attack and keep attacking. Don’t let them breathe. Punch themin the nose. I do it all the time on Facebook and they give up. They are bullies
[I trust President Trump’s instincts.
But my ultimate trust is in his Anointing “for a time such as this”.]
Remove Filthedelphia and Pa is more conservative than practically any other state!
HE IS A JEEEEEW.... The RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST wing of the democrat party ain’t gonna like having a Jew. Even a self hating Israel hating Jew like Shapiro. I bet she doesn’t mention her husband, AT ALL. I remember Heel Up talking about how her greatest memories were sitting around the kwanzaa candles with her Tamil family. How about the Minora?
The Democrat Party's ultimate goal:
No Jews allowed, I guess.
According to the New York Times travel section the scenery on the way to the concentration camps is to die for...
:-)
Correct. But that was then. This is now. The US government is now post-American.
Dims must pick a Black over weight woman as VP. I say its Stacy former Governor of Georgia.
Or, President Trump might be anointed by GOD “for such a time as this”. That sort of thing has happened many, many, many times over the millenia.
[According to the New York Times travel section the scenery on the way to the concentration camps is to die for...]
“You’ll think you’ve died and gone to Auschwitz!”
The strangest thing in this strangest of Democrat primaries is the consideration of Beshear as a running mate. Maybe Beshear’s people are putting his name out there to be an eventual replacement for McConnell? It would be the worst pick of a Democrat running mate since Eagleton in ‘72.
Can you image ANYONE 'warning' Hillary!?!?
They oughtta worry about KH's 'shortcomings' first!!
“Pick Walz. Please!”
They might as well dig up Mondale.
Chaos won’t last. Liberals get in line very quickly.
Shapiro would be BAAAAAD for us.
We have too many anti-semites now on the right who won’t be able to resist making racist comments.
And it will take away our advantage of the watermelon protestors being hooked to the Democrat wagon.
That will never happen.
Regardless of what our side thinks, Democrats aren’t as dumb politically as we think they are.
Nope. They aren’t like Republicans.
They actually pay attention to their political analysts and advisors.
Say what you will, but Republicans SUCK at running for office. We have the right message but terrible methods.
If it’s not a moderate straight white guy, I’ll eat my shoe.
