Josh Shapiro and Mark Kelly said to be leading VP candidates for Harris

Kelly over Shapiro for me, but I'd prefer AOC for the lulz and the win.
I'd pick Kelly over Shapiro, though admittedly I'm way more familiar with Kelly than Shapiro. Having two former AGs on the ticket seems redundant. America loves astronauts and Kelly has personal experience with the issue of gun violence. Any sympathy Trump tries to get with his assassination attempt can be immediately countered. "Oh, your ear was grazed? My wife was literally shot in the head and had to relearn basic tasks. But do go on..."
I forgot about the Gabby Gifford angle, yea Mark Kelly would be a great choice.
Honestly, it does make me a bit uncontrollable to use her attempted assassination as a political tool, but in this context, I think she herself may well be okay with it.
I had no idea they were married.
I think you make a valid point about 2 AGs on one ticket. But it would pretty ludicrous for the Republicans to spin the "party of law and order" while running a convicted felon against two former attorneys general.
In general terms, I would prefer to have a Governor as the VP pick, rather than a Senator. We have such a thin "majority" in the Senate, jeopardizing it right now seems reckless.
AZ law states that the governor appoints a replacement senator, and there is a democratic governor right now
I'm from PA, and I've followed Shapiro's career for a bit. He's OK. A bit bland, maybe? Like I don't think he has the energy rally a following for a national campaign on his own. Almost like Klobuchar in that respect. Then again, PA is a fairly good cross section of the US population in terms of demographic disparity, so he's doing something right. He's also a bit more moderate than I would like, but he's not Trump or Vance, so I would absolutely vote for him.
Kelly I don't know anything about him other than his resume. I've never seen him speak, and I don't know where he stands on issues, but I would vote for him because he's not Trump or Vance.
I don't know much about Mark Kelly but if he's anything like his twin brother Scott he's likely highly empathetic and environmentally conscious at the very least. I've read Scott's book and from what I understand no one comes back from the ISS without an insane sense of the fragility of our planet and unity of humanity.
It'll be Shapiro. I want Kelly but locking up pa would be huge
And I'd love for Mark Kelly to be, you know, the actual president if something happens.
He opposes Medicare for all, does not support the green new deal, and he supported expanding oil drilling.
He's too moderate right for me. If this is what you people support, or you think this is the best tactic to beat trump, then fine. But there's a lot of support for this guy and I never see any actual substance as to why.
