Jul 2024

is why he will be the pick.

Roy is 67 years old...even as a good friend of Kamala, it doesn't help the future of the USA.

Andy Beshear....actually is a pretty good option too...but

think Shapiro is the strongest.
It will be between Cooper (just the friend angle is keeping him in), Shapiro and Beshear.
Take away the friend and strategic miscalc of NC,
and it's between Shapiro and Beshear.

Shapiro is the CLEAR choice, and to be honest, it isn't even close.
