Rumors on the interwebs are that Shapiro turned her down. I guess besides all the rah-rah, he saw the writing on the wall. Being on a losing ticket for Democrats is a death sentence to your political career. Shapiro did the smart thing. Yes, Harris is in trouble. I flipped over to MSDNC, and they are less than excited. They call it “Her first misstep in a flawless campaign.” LOL!

In addition to the points you noted he is looking at an obviously incompetent Secret Service and Pali protesters that would be a clear and present danger to him and his family.
To be blunt—at this point in their history I don’t think the Secret Service has the skills and determination that would be needed to protect them. DEI has doomed them.
