Two frontrunners have emerged in the race to be presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s second in command: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly.
Shapiro, 51, and Kelly, 60, each represent 2024 swing states Democrats badly need to win in November.
“Shapiro is toward the top,” said one insider familiar with the back and forth. “Locking down Pennsylvania would change the entire trajectory of the race.” Another prominent Democrat on the Hill warned talks were still “fluid.”

No one would know about Mark Kelly aka Uncle Fester if his congresswoman wife had not been shot by some lunatic.

I thought it would be Shapiro, but I'm guessing Kelly because that's who Obama wants.
Picking Shapiro might guarantee Penna. but lose Michigan. Kelly will still probably lose Ariz., but keep Penna. and Micih. in play,

Mark Kelly.
I don’t know much about either. But when I’ve seen Mark Kelly on tv, he doesn’t portray a lot of verve.
Whoever it is — male or female — will have to bow and kiss the ring and put up with Heelzup’s “management style.”
Ugh.

Where is the lie-beral outcry that she isn't picking a lesbian (but "gender neutral") albino "person of color" as her running mate (you know, check off several PC boxes)?!?!?!?
Just another straight white male!!!!

Kelly is Obama's choice, but Obama did not want Harris, and Harris knows it.
On the other hand, Shapiro is a Jew, and Michigan does not like Jews.

i'm thinking the Obama endorsement came from a deal guaranteeing BO's preferred VP pick. if that is Kelly, so be it. however, he is one tepid specimen.

They are both democrats, so they both approve of open borders, out of control spending, lax law and order, high gas prices, and vote cheating.

I dont know anything about Shapiro, but Kelly is one of those "I support the 2nd Amendment BUT..." types. He is no friend of liberty.

No matter who she chooses, count on the press to start the fiction that the VP will be in charge of foreign policy and the border

I know Mark Kelly. He has an identical twin brother, Scott, who was also an astronaut. Mark is extremely smart and one of the most intense people I've ever known. Shapiro for sure is ostensibly more at ease and affable but Kelly is a grinder who quietly gets things done. He and Gabby are very popular Zonies and my guess is if Harris chooses him they will win AZ.

Don't know much about either of them. Are they both blank slates? They can portray themselves as moderates and govern as extreme left. Regardless, expect a continuation of Obama policies if Harris wins. Moderates need not apply with this crew which means neither Kelly nor Shapiro are moderates.

Forget Shapiro, he who controls the Philadelphia cheating machine controls the outcome of Pennsylvania elections. That's why we have been stuck with democrat governors for a long time.

You know Barack Obama demanded the optics of a white man working for a black woman to color-coordinate with that white VP who worked for him... now that'll show those white sexist-racists! /s

Wow! An identical twin? That will eliminate the need for a body double; or cut down the expenses for latex masks.
