    I like Kelly. It’s hard to argue “swing state combat veteran astronaut.”

      That’s only the half of it. He got into politics as a gun control advocate after his wife, a house representative, was fucking shot in the head at a political out reach event! He somehow won his senate seat in gun loving AZ! It’s wild.

        He’s got a bit of an uncomfortable stance on Gaza is the only issue. If he could take a harsher stance on Israel he would be the perfect pick, but as is he might be a bit risky depending on how much actual impact that issue will have on the election.

      It’s hard for Republicans to argue against… but I imagine that would make environmentalists and people who want universal healthcare pretty annoyed. I mean most of those people will probably go out and vote Harris either way

        But ultimately, he would not be the one making those decisions. She would.

    Please not Shapiro. Please not Shapiro. Harris doesn’t need this weighing down the campaign: https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-josh-shapiro-aide-sexual-harassment-296d605f3533ca7a38e9f2983e533059

      I hope she’s not looking for the biggest unforced error she thinks she can get away with.

        Appointing her union busting brother-in-law as campaign advisor and picking Shapiro for VP, what could go wrong?

          I gotta admit, I was incredibly dismayed by the brother-in-law angle after reading into it.

              Union-busting

              That’s kinda bad, I’m sure you’ll agree

              Nepotism and union busting are what Republicans do.

    I think they’re just drawing it out to call attention to the fact that one party actually has multiple decent candidates.

    She has already done so much but I hope Nancy Pelosi can do us just one more solid and nudge Kamala to pick Walz as the VP. I would love nothing more than his profile being raised to become a pres. contender in the future, not to mention maybe his progressive policies being adopted by Kamala.

      Pelosi would never tell a Democrat to pick someone that progressives want.

        Pelosi supports Walz.

        Even former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appears to be leaning in Walz’s favor. A source familiar with the California Democrat’s thinking told The Hill she “is always especially fond of former House colleagues” when asked about Harris’s running mate, a nod to Walz.
