CNN suggesting (but not reporting yet) that it may be Walz.
My predictive brilliance continues to amaze.
Holy cow. I guess that was a move to add a "regular joe" type to the ticket to appeal to rural America?
Great pick for progressives!
Great pick for Trump.
Watch them label him Bernie 2.0.
I know, right?Democrats doing the sensible thing instead of chasing optics, what world are we living in?
Bernie plays great with independents.Great pick for Trump.
Watch them label him Bernie 2.0.
Any pick Harris made would have been labelled the Devil by the Republicans. That's US politics these days.Great pick for Trump.

Shapiro wasn't helping to 'bring a state' either. Dems regularly elected governor there. Beshear more applicable to that reasoning.Waltz is a poor pick.
He doesn't look "Presidential". As vacuous as that is, it matters in US Politics.
The right will label him as Bernie 2.0. He doesnt help to bring a state and it pushes Kamala further left.
Kamala has caved to the left and the unions. Probably scared of protests at the DNC. And maybe concerned that Shapiro is "too ambitions".
I guess she does have a thing for old white men though.
Prediction - Kamals loses in 2024 and Whitmer & Shapiro win in 2028.

Walz is also likable, has +20 years with the Army National Guard, is a former teacher and high school football coach, and is endorsed by the country's biggest union. Should be quite a good pick for the Midwest.

Regarding the last bit, if Harris loses (a 50/50 proposition at this point), the likes of Newsom, Shapiro, and Whitmer will come out of this looking very good since they will be the standard bearers of the party going forward.

Why not pick Kelly then? Astronaut. Swing State. Border State. Military service. Married to a gun violence survivor.
The Union endorsement is so overrated, imo. Most of those workers are voting Trump anyway. There not coming home and watching MSNBC.
Picking Kelly means potentially losing a seat in the Senate, which may have had some influence. And I thoroughly disagree about the union vote. Unions are powerful, and it's Walz not Kelly that has walked the picket line with them.Why not pick Kelly then? Astronaut. Swing State. Border State. Military service.

I wonder why didn’t Trump choose a Jewish running mate in 2024, or 2016?R/conservatives attack on Walz pick is literally ‘They hate Jews’.
You make too much out of a VP pick, besides, Shapiro would have been labeled a socialist too.
A geography teacher and coach running for VP

Of course. If she had picked Joe Manchin they would say he was to liberal.
You know the Trump campaign were scared of Shapiro. They were already attacking him. He is a great public speaker. Vance already called him an Obama impersonator, which Shapiro battered down quite brilliantly.
Especially if she loses PA by a tiny margin.
