Thus giving MI to Trump and the election.

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.

Pick Walz. Please!
they warned not to drop Biden also. They will fall in line like democrat lemmings always do.
It looks like it will be Shapiro because he has canceled his fundraiser event and she is doing that rally in Philly on Monday..maybe she figures she no longer needs Michigan and Minnesota, that she wins PA she wins the whole thing because the arabs wont vote for a Jew
If she picks Kelly, the spy balloon comes back to bite, plus he's an exceptionally ugly person who they may hope can keep AZ in their camp.
If she picks Beshear, she's not going to pick up KY, but hopes he will be able to cancel Vance's appeal in the midwest.
I still hope they're desperate enough to push Walz on her. That means to me they know there is no chance they can win in November.
Pick Booty Judge, pick Booty Judge! Pretty please!!
Kamala's husband is Jewish. So thats why she's okay with picking a Jewish VP.
Maybe she's confident that she'll win Michigan without the Muslim voters because they can stuff the ballot boxes in Detroit.
She’s going for Casey Jr.
Minneapolis Star Tribune today reminded everyone:
“Critics viewed the attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who’s Jewish, as anti-Semitic.”
Just because pandering for Muslim votes in Michigan and elsewhere by avoiding a Jewish nominee is anti-semitic.
Dems who hate him call him names like Genocide Josh.
From Deseret.com July 30, 2024.
But not all Democrats like the idea of a Harris-Shapiro ticket. Some have expressed concern over his handling of sexual harassment claims in his office. Others have launched a pressure campaign targeting his Jewish faith and his support for Israel.
Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-New York, defended Shapiro against the “No Genocide Josh” movement. “Every potential nominee for Vice President is pro-Israel,” said Torres. “Yet only one, Josh Shapiro, has been singled out by a far-left smear campaign calling him ‘Genocide Josh.’ The reason he is treated differently from the rest? Antisemitism.”
Shapiro is Pennsylvania’s third-ever Jewish governor.
“The antisemitic far left must never be given veto power over the selection of a presidential running mate,” Torres continued.
A good emotional slap fight.
SSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
He’s one of the Little Hat Mafia.
Ya know, one of “Them”.
Progs can’t have that now.
They got 3 other war machines to throw money at.
If it’s all about a Free Palestine, why does it cost us so much money?
FWIW-
Judea and Samaria have been part of a broad Jewish homeland since the beginning.
In case you can’t see the /s tag.
All because of his ethnic background?
Casey’s up isn’t he? I’m enjoying this. Any VP will not make much difference. Slim Pickens at #1 so they’re wetting’ their pants.
roll out the ballots boys, the dems are gonna need them.
PICK SHAPIRO OY GEVALT
No, PA is a necessary but not sufficient battleground state for Harris. She can't afford to lose PA, MI, or WI (unless, that is, she's winning GA). Losing PA would be pretty much fatal for Harris but winning it doesn't guarantee that she gets to 270 EVs. Not by a long shot.
Too many anti-Semitic Democrats... Especially ‘black’ ones.
Black African Americans are already p*ssed that they haven’t seen a true American Black man or woman put on a Democrat ticket yet... Obama and Harris aren’t truly Black American’s... They’re black, they’re apparently American citizens... But they aren’t truly Black African Americans descendent from slaves brought to America in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The first truly Black African American president will hopefully be a Republican.
The Marxist Left: “Don’t choose Shapiro because we hate Jews.”
Thus giving MI to Trump and the election.
Shapiro wants the White House. He is way too smart to hitch his wagon to this fustercluck and get covered in its excrement
I don’t see any way he would accept the vp slot if offered. I do see any democrat who truly wants the White House and has any legitimate shot at getting it agreeing to be her VP
Well, that would make for a very diverse ticket. A woman of some mixed ethnic background, combined with a homosexual.
Since liberals tell us to celebrate diversity, such a ticket would have many diverse elements.
