8. The First Major Harrison Decision Will Be Her VP Choice - I Hope She Aces That Decision

Wed Jul 24, 2024, 06:16 PM

Jul 2024

I'm prepared to embrace whoever she selects. No matter who she chooses there will some disappointment because we all have our favorite to be on the ticket as VP. It seems that Shapiro, Kelly and Beshear have the most support based on internet buzz. I'll be surprised if it isn't one of these 3.
