Ryuu96 said: PA is so important to the election but can't Shapiro still win it for Harris by remaining as Governor but campaigning his ass off for her behalf in PA during the election? I feel like Shapiro has baggage which may hurt Harris in outside states (like Michigan) but I know how important he is for PA and whoever wins PA likely wins the election. I really want Walz and I'm trying to justify why he would be a better pick than Shapiro. Walz will probably get automatic credit for being a former teacher (coach) and highest ranking ex-military in Congress. He may be in a blue state but he represented a largely rural (red) district and beat a six-term Republican incumbent, Walz may be able to speak to rural folk better than some, his charm and way with words may get through to them, they can kiss goodbye to Florida but they were never winning Florida anyway so who cares about that. |
I also recall polls showing that despite support dropping among young & minority voters, Biden was seeing some gains with older voters.
Maybe Walz looking and talking like a grandpa will help retain those voters? I know him & Kamala are basically the same age but he definitely looks and acts older than her.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
