One Hollywood exec puts it more succinctly. "Fuck these Trump-loving techies," he says.

Love both these choices, Shapiro was originally my #1 pick but then Kelly has started to run up my list.

Navy Captain + Astronaut as VP...He's going to make JD Vance look like a fucking imbecile.

I think Shapiro would be a better "politician" but I think Kelly would connect better with people, I also hope this will elevate Kelly on a national level and help him run for President in the future because I hope he one day runs alongside Whitmer, Shapiro, Beshear, Newsom and Warnock for President (2032, Lol).

Safer to lose a Governor seat than a Senator seat, Shapiro is probably better for the EC but Kelly neutralises a lot of Republicans attacks, they will struggle to find an attack angle on him. Harris probably works better with Kelly as well. Hmm. It's a tough decision but in the best way possible where both choices are brilliant.

Kelly’s credentials begin with his dazzling biography as a combat-tested Navy pilot and NASA astronaut who commanded shuttle missions aboard both the Discovery and Endeavour and traveled more than 20 million miles in space.

He has also turned out to be a supremely skillful politician in a tough state where the Biden-Harris ticket has been running behind. Kelly won a close race in 2020 to fill the unexpired term of John McCain (R) and then turned around to win it again two years later — this time, with a more comfortable five-point margin against a hard-right Republican election conspiracy theorist endorsed by Donald Trump. Kelly significantly outperformed late polls showing him behind in the race. (If Kelly were to be elected vice president, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, would appoint a replacement to serve as senator until a special election in 2026.)

Picking Kelly, who at 60 is roughly the same age as Harris, would help inoculate her in areas where she is likely to be vulnerable. That starts with immigration. Trump’s campaign has already made clear this would be a line of attack against Harris. The former president has labeled her Biden’s “border czar,” an inaccurate description of her portfolio dealing with the root causes of migration from Central America.

Kelly has been critical of his party’s hesitance, until recently, to take a strong stand on border security. But he also calls out Republicans for wanting to score points on the issue rather than making progress.

“When I first got to Washington, it didn’t take me long to realize that there are a lot of Democrats who don’t understand our southern border and a lot of Republicans who just want to talk about it, don’t necessarily want to do anything about it, just want to use it politically,” he told me shortly after his 2022 victory. “So my approach has been — to the extent that we could and can — to make progress on securing it, but also doing it in a way that’s in accordance with our ethics and our values, not to demonize people.”

Kelly retired from NASA and the Navy after a 2011 assassination attempt at a Tucson grocery store left his wife, then-Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, severely disabled and six others dead. While overseeing her care as she slowly regained some of her ability to speak and walk, Kelly developed a new understanding of how this nation’s gun laws work — and don’t.

“I was a gun owner, supporter of the Second Amendment, as I still am,” he told me in a July 2022 interview for a profile I was writing about Giffords. “But I didn’t really know the details.” The couple founded an organization that has helped pass sensible gun laws in nearly every state.

What many Second Amendment supporters don’t realize, Kelly told me, is “how we make it really easy for criminals and domestic abusers and people who are dangerously mentally ill to get access to guns like no other country on the planet. Nobody else does this. Because of it, we have a really high rate of people getting shot and people die.”

Kelly remains a gun owner who is comfortable talking about the issue in a way that other Democrats are not. I once asked him how many firearms he has. “Probably have more guns than the average Arizonan,” he replied.

Fuck it, I'm now Team Kelly

Good luck attacking this, Republicans.

Former Veteran, Astronaut; Two things that Americans fucking love, a double hero.

Understands the need for gun safety laws after his wife was fucking shot and went through a gruelling recovery, Kelly stood by her and helped every step of the way. Understands the Republicans are talking shit about doing anything about the border and simply use it for talking points. I think Kelly would connect better with Americans on a national scale while Shapiro would probably get Pennsylvania.
