I’m hearing from multiple credible sources within Democratic leadership that Arizona’s @SenMarkKelly is emerging as the leading candidate for Vice President – at least as of this moment.

His centrist approach and anti-gun work is seen as both complementary and additive to Kamala… pic.twitter.com/ezqa4Gdeg9

Probably going to go with the Pennsylvania Governor. They really need the rust belt states. If nothing else the Dems are incredibly calculating when trying to attain or maintain power.

I have heard great things about Josh Shapiro, but does he want to jeopardize his political future by hooking up with the extremely unpopular Kamala Harris? I'm not so sure.

---

Isn't he a Jew? That seems to He something Harris Biden obama try to distance themselves from supporting

---

You are absolutely correct. They have all but rejected him because of his Jewish faith. Downright sickening. It is amazing and scary that the Militant Muslims have such a stranglehold on the Democrat Party in our country.

Donald Trump is now afraid of debating @KamalaHarris — and not just because he knows she’s a skilled debater.

He's scared because he can’t run away from his record any longer — but here in Pennsylvania, we haven’t forgotten who he is and we aren’t going back. pic.twitter.com/n8y9lhAHln

There are not enough Muslims in the USA (and not enough radical ones) to make any real impact on Democratic party policy

[2020 United States census, 4,453,908 Americans, or 1.34% of the population, identify as Muslim]

Jews are far more numerous and far more politically influential in the party

[As of 2020, the Jewish population in the United States was estimated to be 7.5 million people, which is 2.4% of the total US population]

The change in Democratic Party views on Israel is drive by one thing only.... Liberal non-Jewish Whites and Liberal Jews in the USA increasingly view Israel as a "White settler State" and take a more pro-Palestinian course and view the struggle through the lens of progressive anti-colonial ideology

[Ideological gaps are profound on both questions, with liberals far more apt than others to say the U.S. is doing too much to support Israel and too little to protect Palestinian civilians. Notably, given campus protests, views among young people are similar to those among all adults...]

Shapiro is Jewish, zero chance of that.

Mark Kelley (AZ) is what I think.

The Detroit, Philly, and Madisn/Milwaukee machines will deliver the ballots needed to carry those states.

She was a DEI hire. Look for the same thing

From Wapo
Harris's campaign will have to contend with DEI, culture war attacks
In the wake of Biden's announcement that he would not run for a second term, attacks based on Harris's racial identity were the most common form of criticism of her on X, according to recent data.

---

Pretty sure that is incorrect.

---

You believe she wasn't a DEI hire?

---

Harris was not a DEI hire.

She was a political necessity hire.

---

What was necessary about Harris, seriously?

You really think Biden would have lost in 2020 without her?

Kelly helps her the least, so I expect that's who Harris will pick.

Seems to be the theme for this election.

Mark Kelly wouldn't be a bad VP pick, but, from an electoral perspective, Josh Shapiro is clearly the best. He greatly outperformed the baseline in PA in 2022 & now has a 61% favorable rating.

Most of todays Democrats absolutely loathe Shapiro simply because he is Jewish. The Militant Muslims in Congress would become even more unhinged if he was the pick. And if he is the pick, his political career will slowly come to an end.

Supposedly the pick will come in by Tuesday.
