Josh Shapiro is a popular governor in a swing state with eighteen electoral college votes. But he is Jewish.
CNN is reporting Kamala Harris has reportedly named Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate. Walz not only shut kids out of school for a year, but refused law enforcement resources to quell rioting in 2020. He is a progressive’s progressive. He is also not Jewish.
Harris has given the antisemites of the Democratic Party a heckler’s veto in the choice of her running mate and rejected the strategic play with eighteen electoral college votes for a white guy from a safe Democrat state who will not alienate the people who hate Jews.
Maybe CNN is wrong. Shapiro makes way more sense. But avoiding alienating progressive antisemites seems to be Harris’s strategy.
