Tim Walz would be the best VP pick!!! He appeals to small town rural voters while appealing to progressives. I hope she picks Tim Walz!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

You could be right, I was leaning towards a Swing State with the most Electors.. I doubt that will matter now .. I reckon Dems will take all Battle Ground States.. It won't be a Issue .. Shapiro...

[@brendanjobe6895]

Maybe they'll nominate Tim Walz for president: they haven't even gone through the convention yet. I'm not sure Democrats even need a convention. Most of them just do what they're told. They're unburdened by what hasn't been, and burdened by what is - or some such nonsense.

[@vs4571]

Me too! He’s also very well spoken and articulate. Strong commanding voice too. He has a great military record too with the national guard. And he’s only 60 years old! He’s has a good presence. He’s my first choice, 2nd is probably Kelly or Roy Cooper.

[@Hyde_Hill]

Number 1 Walz for me as he has strong Mid West and blue collar appeal with his down to earth style, strong on labor, excites younger and female voters with his policies. Strong speaker. Followed by Beshear and Pritzker. While Shapiro helps with Pen he hurts Michigan and Wisconsin. Kelly if you want to go very centrist, which I don't think is the right move, and mediocre speaker. Cooper lacks charisma. The repub strategist recommends Kelly so yeah extra mark against him. Repubs always give "advice" that is actually bad.

Kelly is a bad pick for two reasons: We need his Senate seat and taking him out of it puts that in jeopardy next election, and also he's not popular with unions. Shapiro isn't popular with unions either, particularly teachers' unions because he supports charter schools. Plus Shapiro is too much of a zionist, and risks pushing away the younger voters who think Kamala might be different on Gaza. Beshear seems solid, although Walz would do better in a debate against JD Vance.

He'd learn a lot about foreign policy and deal with the governments of nearly 200 nations by being UN Ambassador, but why would he want that job, which comes with no executive duties? Education Secretary? HHS? Well, first Harris has to win. Otherwise, there may no longer be presidential elections. Trump will have his choices for electors appointed by the states and simply keep winning until he dies or Vance overthrows him. He could run for governor of his new home state, Michigan, in 2026, but then you don't want to jump ship to run for president in 2028 if Harris loses or for some other reason chooses not to run.

He doesn't deliver a swing state - he'll be secretary of state - he's unflappable - love to see him with Putin

[@SassySimian]

I believe he is being considered. He's been going around the networks a lot and not in his Secr. of Transportation capacity. I think there was less of an announcement for him because he's already been vetted at the national level, since he ran for President already and is a cabinet member.

[@reddsun6427]

Do not see him as vp, but definitely in the cabinet. I'd love if she brought susan rice in to.

[@Code_Dee]

He doesn't bring new voters in, only popular in the Democratic party. Independents think he's smug

[@chazharris]

@@user-xu6bv7yh2j He lives in Michigan and polls great there.

straight from the heart no punches pulled a serious demeanor that matches the political climate of the globe PROJECT STRENGTH and STABILITY clear message to putin to stand down a vp that appeals to centrist / independents

Vice President Adam Kinzinger he gave ALL for the USA Democracy.... It could be so poetic justice to have him helping Harris, and he is such a nice guy....

In that case that brings liz cheney into play, but their policies definitely not in line with the democrats.

Help? ... Adam, I am sure, has his own plans for 2028. And NO. WE have solid and strategic options and it's up to Kamala. HARRIS2024

@@iyamwhatiyam547 ok ok GOD! but you are right Adam and Liz may have their plans for 2028, so is going to be Mark Kelly or Pete Buttiegeg .....

[@SuperQueenb45]

We have to keep in mind that the Democrats can't afford to give up any Senate seats in any state because we need to take back the majority in both the senate and the house to get any bills or border measures passed along with many other things!!!!!!!!!

Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Harris and Biden both did terrible things in office.

[@howlinwind]

So you're okay with Trump's crimes as president? What "terrible things" did Biden and Harris do other than the best economy in decades and great legislation?

[@styrpak1]

And all Trump did was golf, sleep, and throw ketchup.

[@MGmirkin]

Harris in 2024.

[@ML-xh6rd]

My hope is that Kelly is not chosen so he can have a clear run at the presidency in the future. Should he be chosen and the ticket lose, he'd have a tremendous uphill battle to secure the nomination and the White House in any future cycle.

[@greghammett5739]

It would make the best since for Wes Moore to humble himself and accept a woman boss for four years and show n he's worth of being a politician.

[@richx9035]

Harris is a fabulous Presidential candidate. Definitely go with Shapiro for VP or George Clooney might be good.

[@rowand2405]

The answer - Pennsylvania.

[@marthaee]

I think she should choose Liz Chaney! 😉☺️

[@wacharaboy]

I think younger voters are the ones to choose basically between _experience_ (i.e. Walz) and _specs_ (i.e. Buttigieg). They should decide which path is better for their future.

[@iyamwhatiyam547]

Yes, @karen, I can imaging VP and then PRESIDENT Harris handling 'tough guys' as easily she will handle the now and forever former trump. Masters degree, Law degree, 27 years as prosecutor, 4 years as US Senator and 4 years as VP. She's got this! thanks for the question :) HARRIS2024 (and u liked ur own comment, sad)

[@howlinwind]

All three leaders of those countries laugh at Trump. NK's nuclear arsenal get bigger and stronger after he declared they were no longer a nuclear threat.

[@christopherwang4392]

My choice for Kamala Harris' Vice President is split between Pete Buttigieg and Josh Shapiro. Pete Buttigieg is my first choice because he participated in the 2020 Democratic Party Presidential Primaries, he has experience working within the Executive Branch as a Cabinet member, and he would not have to give up any Governor or Senator seat in the battleground states. Josh Shapiro is also an acceptable choice for me as he shares some of the same qualities as Pete Buttigieg but with potentially greater appeal among voters of the Rust Belt. Mark Kelly has very respectable credentials, but I think he would be more useful serving out his full term as Senator from Arizona until 2028 or offered a Cabinet post in the Harris Administration.

[@theodorewilliamdauterive332]

Mark Kelly is a dull speaker. Josh Shapiro is a guy that can speak to the American workers about how worker friendly this administration has been. And, still acknowledge, that people are still hurting and work needs to be done.

[@AlexAnteroLammikko]

He is a liability in the progressive base and for Muslim voters because of his comments about Gaza protestors. So he could be a liability.

[@Jin125]

Shapiro would be the guy except he smeared the youth voters over their protests around Gaza. So he’s risky to damaging the coalition. It’s a shame too because he’s a great speaker!! The pick should be Waltz! He connects with middle class white voters and doesn’t damage the coalition!!

[@daquidi]

josh shapiro will alienate the young progressive voter base. kamala harris hype is because of young voters who applaud her criticism of israel. shapiro thinks these young voters are the kkk. this is hillary clinton vs bernie bros all over again.

[@watchfulobservant5790]

Mark Kelly has way to many ties to China that can easily be exposed about him. Especially with the Spy Balloon incident. He's made millions with those ties to China. Besides that...I was disgusted with him for not doing more to help Kyrsten Sinema.

[@Code_Dee]

Shapiro is actually not good with unions, he supports charter schools.

[@mlgraney60]

Having spent 36 years in the Senate, including a decade or so on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and 8 years as VP Joe Biden was fully experienced in "national security/ global conflict and that sort of thing" when he became president, and it's only because of the pathetic lack of coverage that the media gave him that the entire country doesn't realize how incredibly lucky we were to have him.

[@joelyazell7380]

Mark Kelly is all about the past,pick someone else and give Mark his due respect and honor. We don’t owe the past anything.

[@ralph8073]

All these people saying Kelly, I don't think he's a good pick. No executive experience. His background on gun control could be viewed as a negative by some. And he doesn't seem to have the charisma or speaking ability as some of the others. Shapiro or Walz, please.

[@Nothinglefttosay]
