This is Kamala Harris's Pick For Vice President

These are the leading candidates to be Vice President Harris’s Vice President. Right now it’s being reported that the two front runners are Senator Mark Kelly and Governor Josh Shapiro. Kelly was a fighter pilot in the first gulf war flying 39 combat missions, then he became an astronaut who orbited the earth over 600 times and flew the space shuttle's last flight. He is also married to Gabby Giffords, the former congresswoman who was shot in an assassination attempt in 2011. Kelly ran for Senate in Arizona in 2020 and then won reelection in 2022. Maybe starting with him was a bad choice cause the rest of these guys are fine but everyone looks lame next to a fighter pilot astronaut. Shapiro served in the Pennsylvania state house before becoming county commissioner. He then became the Pennsylvania attorney general, and then was elected to be the governor in 2022. His approval rating in Pennsylvania is apparently in the low 60s, making him one of the most popular governors in the country – with 1 in 3 Trump voters saying that he’s doing a “good” job. It’s reported that the other candidates are Roy Cooper, Big Gretch, Tim Walz, JB Pritzker, and Andy Beshear. All are popular in their states and have their own unique advantages: Roy Cooper is the governor of North Carolina. He’s won 6 consecutive statewide elections. At one point, Republicans didn’t even bother running against him. Big Gretch is the governor of Michigan, she says she’s not leaving the state but that’s what every college football coach says before they leave. Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota and is largely considered to be the most successful democratic governor in the country. He’s also a veteran. JB Pritzker is the governor of Illinois who’s won in a landslide twice. He’s a billionaire whose family owns the Hyatt, and he was also a venture capitalist. He has been described as a knife fighter or an attack dog. – His whole angle is that he can’t be bought and as a result of that his values are unshakeable. Andy Beshear is the two term governor of Kentucky. His family has a legacy in Kentucky with his Dad having previously been Governor in the state. Before the governorship, Andy was the attorney general of the state. He’s a Democrat in Kentucky so he’s notably less liberal than the rest of these picks but he appears to be gunning for it.

Mark Kelly didn’t just win a swing state. He won the seat that was filled by John McCain

[seangutierrez]

Mark Kelly would be a solid choice! War hero, astronaut, senator, what more can you ask for? This guy’s got it all!

[the_midday_dusk]

At this point. I think Mark Kelly should be the Presidential candidate instead.

[MattAshe]

Mark Kelly would be her best shot to get any independents who don't like her.

[Abstract_zx]

Everyone's been saying PA needs Shapiro still and it's true.

[AlejandroFlores-vitl]

An Astronaut VP is the most American thing

[shrektheogre]

That’s it, I’m running for president, shrek 2024!

How you not gonna go with the combat veteran fighter pilot/astronaut?

The only thing he needs is a pet bald eagle that sits on his shoulder.

As someone who's lived in Illinois my entire life:

DO. NOT. CHOOSE. PRITZKER

[Eyebarra]

That astronaut fighter pilot has my vote

[angela_jx]

I genuinely feel like an astronaut VP could be awesome for this country

[BackYardScience]

Andy Beshear is a great governor! He governs Kentucky and as a Democrat he works both sides of the Isle and every single Republican I know likes him and says they'll vote for him again.

Flew in space, blew up the death star became a Jedi Master

[pressxfor]

I’d definitely want Kelly.
Due to being an astronaut, he’s probably experienced the overview effect, which would make him a really good candidate.

[groundedbeef]

Josh Shapiro should not be underestimated, as a Pennsylvanian he definitely worked miracles for our economy these past 4 years.

[baseballjustin]

No!!!! Not Pritzker....
Anyone but Pritzker...

As someone from Illinois... help us

The US better fix it's politics or I'll have to get involved.

[PaigeLoganMcEntire-hwmt]

PA resident here. Josh Shapiro would be a GREAT pick. The only downside would be no one could replace him as our governor.

[RobertTStud]

The astronaut sounds cool but isn't that like putting 20k rims on a 1994 Saturn with kamala on the ticket.

Love Mark Kelly as a VP. Intelligent and honorable. Two things more then the creep Vance has.
