Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has narrowed her search for a vice presidential running mate to two finalists, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, three sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday.
Harris, the U.S. vice president, is expected to announce her selection by Tuesday, ahead of her first scheduled public appearance with her running mate in the evening at Temple University in Philadelphia.
Excellent question. I think the answer is that the people who choose such things are thinking more about election strategy than job performance. And while I think this is not an issue with anybody who would vote for Harris in the first place, the people making the choice might think that Buttigieg’s sexuality hurts election chances? Or maybe because he has young kids at home that he might want to be there for? Idk, I thought he didn’t have enough experience when he ran for president, but Biden fucking nailed it by making him Secretary of Transportation. He’s killing it and developing much-needed political capital and federal experience to the point that I think he’s ready now. He’ll have his turn very soon, I’m pretty sure. Potential presidential nominee in 32.
Brilliant answer, thank you for your time and effort. We seem to be in the same page - he seems to be a young and idealistic politician where he hasn’t really put a foot wrong yet.
Looking at the alternatives with an outsider’s perspective, there just doesn’t seem to be anybody on Pete’s level but I guess that’s a very subjective opinion.
Thanks all the same!
