I predicted Shapiro and signs are pointing that way. Seems like it's him or Kelly or Walz at this point.

Harris the likely nominee, who should be the VP choice?
For the record this is a risky move and I'm concerned some corrupt joke of a Judge will allow some frivolous lawsuit to possibly impact ballot access in key states...

3. Shapiro
4. Kentucky Gov.
5. Kelly

Unlike the right, the true crazies have very little power in the party
I predicted Shapiro on Day 1. Then I waffled and went with Kelly because he's the best choice. Everything is pointing at Shapiro. He's the guy.
To which Trump will say something to the effect of "He did great I thought. Nobody gives a shit about the VP anyway."
Pennsylvania is too important.
Gotta be Shapiro.

I think the VP pick can only hurt you. I can’t remember a time where the pick really and
Truly helped a candidate. Maybe Biden for Obama? Maybe Cheney? But it doesn’t really move the needle. It can hurt though. Palin sunk McCain

It appears that is the choice, since she is making the announcement in PA. They did say don’t read too much into that.
I’m hoping Walz.
She needs a democrat that isn't a threat to her own cult of personality. The VP can't be more likeable than her.
That's why Trump picked whitebread Pence and Obama picked Joe. Capable career politicians, but no threat on the charisma scale.
You don't want your VP to be more popular than you.
A boring VP is insurance against assassination.
For Kamala, I can't think of anyone who fits that bill.

He is Pro-Israel which many of the young voters do not like. So, he would be a bad pick if you want to encourage young voters to vote.
Buttigieg is as good as it gets at forcefully making the Democrats’ case while looking like a nice, reasonable guy and simultaneously making his opponent look like an idiot.
You raise an interesting point.
Many of the Jewish population of Florida voted for DeSantis. All told they comprise less than 4% of the population of the state. I expect that many will vote Democrat in a national contest but Harris has a challenge on her hands if she doesn’t pick Shapiro.
Does she risk Michigan, which is a razor close vote or does she risk the Jewish vote in FL which will be very close to red anyway?
You’re trying to hard, your projection is showing.
He's also one of the most popular Democrats out there
He’s brilliant. But sad to say he’s a non starter.
Hey superlibs of this board I really like Pete but does he maybe undermine her as VP if he's the pick?
Put this picture everywhere and bring up how they want to defund our schools.
I was shocked that he's only 60Put this picture everywhere and bring up how they want to defund our schools.
I could see Pete as Press Secretary, he’s a really great communicator. I just don’t know persuasive he can be outside his base.
You also have Constitutional Amendment 4 on the ballot which guarantees a right to an abortion based on fetal viability (around 24 weeks) instead of the very strict 6 week ban that DeSantis signed.
We know that similar measures won approval by substantial margins in red states (KS, OH, e.g) after Roe was overturned. This measure will likely drive many more voters to the polls, including pro-abortion supporters newly registered because of this issue.
He's more likeable than she is. She needs someone who inspires confidence, but isn't more likeable than her.
