She would only choose Philly with her running mate if that running mate is from PA. Looking like it's Shapiro.

He'd only be the 2nd Jewish VP candidate afaik after Lieberman. God Gore was an idiot for choosing him.

Shaprio is solid aside from his Anti-Palestine rhetoric. If Harris can keep him from running his mouth on that subject then she should be fine. He pretty much guarantees her PA and he's extremely charismatic.

Even though Shapiro's views on Israel and charter schools are abhorrent I can support this ticket because it has charismstic talkers, locks up the PA vote, and is at least is better than Harris/Kelly (the latter being almost as bad as Shapiro on Israel but also bad on labor and immigration as well).

Well, let's hope that's the case because he could potentially cost Harris Michigan.

I'm seeing 10 Republican ads right now for every Democrat ad (Although a lot from both sides are about Bob Casey. Not a single Pro-Trump ad yet, and the one Pro-McCormick ad seems to have stopped, too. All the Republican ads are attack ads. And just lie after lie after lie. Baseball is literally unwatchable live.). Winning PA and costing them a ton of money in the process would be huge.

no matter who she picks some people will come up with ways that she has "destroyed the ticket" or whatever. peopel who sound like that New York Times pitchbot twitter account...

but the facts are whoever she picks won't have a NEGATIVE favorability rating like Vance, so it's a no-lose situation.

I honestly think its a stronger move than Kelly which so many are pushing for. Every politician sucks on Israel/Palestine. I think Shapiro is strong enough in other areas to make it a good pick. Especially if it locks up PA.

I think the ideal candidate was Walz but Im pretty good with this pick. At least she didnt make a pick like Buttigieg that I feel would have been a serious miss.

Yes, that would have been a big mistake since American voters probably aren't ready to vote for a gay vice president.

Well Shapiro is just objectively worse than Walz and alienates a lot of pro-Palestine folks. It's a risky play in its own way, it's just not the worst one Harris can make.

speaking of which, why did Trump pick Vance? I feel he wouldn't have balanced the ticket at all.

And please, don't give the answer "because he's a dumbass." or some variant of it. Its already well established Trump says and does dumb things. But what was his dumbass reason for picking Vance?

I honestly thought he would have picked Ivanka.

That is why I feel like it would be the only combo where I would view it as a losing ticket. You already have misogyny and racism on the table with a minority woman. If you added in homophobia with a gay man on the ticket I just didnt see that working in 2024 and think it could sink them. America isnt ready for that kind of combo yet.

Because a lot of the people around him are big on him and none of Vance's issues would have been too big of a problem with the campaign and the media nailing "Biden is old."

Shapiro makes the most sense, but regardless PA is the most critical state so campaigning there together first makes the most sense regardless.

If not Shapiro, I hope they have the good sense to have Shapiro give the into speech for Harris as a sign of unity and to spend the next hundred days stumping across the state.

The prevailing theory around here is that the people running Trumps campaign looked at Biden, saw this election as a lay-up, and saw no need to pick a nominee for him that appealed to the center.

Trump picked a yes man because all he's done for 9 years in politics is pick yes men

Plus I think he really wanted Marco Rubio but couldn't get past the same state rule

The worst pick was Kelly and Dems were moonwalking into an electoral disaster if Harris picked him. Anti-union history sinks the ticket in the Rust Belt while just picking Kelly wouldn't lock up Arizona where Harris is down by like 7 points. Plus he loves Netanyahu and anti-Palestinian conspiracy theories and has zero fucking charisma and in general is heavily pro-moderate/anti-progressive coded. It was the true nightmare ticket.
