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.

Richard Levine for VP!!
It’s my understanding that NV,AZ,GA and NC are a lock so that would mean that DJT could afford to lose PA...particularly if the choice loses MI for them.
May be true. But Gretchen Whitmer controls the party machine in Michigan. They can stuff ballot boxes in Ann Arbor instead.
I still think she may end up with Gretchen Whitmer.
In 2000 we hadn’t yet loaded up with muzzies ...
Butt, picking Buttplug will absolutely lock in that 1% to 2% alphabet vote!
🤣
Commie-la ‘FWEEDUMB’ hawiss is a non starter to me.
I don’t believe it’ll matter as they’ve already warned Biden about this, and I’m doubting they’ll abandon that stance for her.
All those factions. The friction is becoming counterproductive for them.
Trump can lose MI, PA and WI as long as he wins a small state like NH. That's extremely unlikely. Personally, I think he has a better chance in winning a state like NM if he can't win MI, PA and WI.
>> A good emotional slap fight.
You nailed it.
IOW, don’t pick the Jew.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Shapiro is a huge improvement over his predecessor
Tom ("Tommie the Commie") Wolf.
I'd hate to lose him to the VP because we have endured far worse.
Chicago is going to be a mess.
Normals don’t count for much any more, do they.
Well, ok, as taxpayers, maybe...
My money is on Mayor Pete Buttplug. They are going to double down on DEI. Whole thing is rigged and so what does it really matter?
Then nuke NJ!
I mean, the way that Blue Wall voting paradigm sets up, you don't win MI without winning WI and running MN right up to the margins; meanwhile 100 hours later in PA, no one is going to give a shit about their steal (and they really aren't a part of the Blue Wall anymore, Philly is Phraud Central and much more like NJ or NY now), when MI and then AZ are called for Trump and it's over at 11pm. In other words, yeah it could be MI, WI and NV as the key flips, while AZ and GA return to the fold.
This Cameltoe 'honeymoon' is all about party scammers lining their pockets and maybe attempting to salvage a few downticket races.
I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. You need to look at an EV map. Assuming Trump recaptures GA and AZ (and holds NC), then Harris must win PA and MI and WI in order to get to 270. In the above scenario, even without NV, winning MI puts Trump at 277 EVs. If you want to play in this game, bub, you really need to pay attention and at least get the basics right to start.
