Here are the negatives I see for each of the VP options... [View all]

[brooklynite]

ROY COOPER (NC-GOV) Has Mark Robinson as LtG, who could cause chaos every time Cooper left the State to campaign.

JOSH SHAPIRO (PA-GOV) Jewish (prospectively scares off the pro-Gaza voters in Michigan) and supports school vouchers

TIM WALZ (MN-GOV) Most left-leaning of all the known prospects; doesn’t help with an at-risk State.

ANDY BESHEAR (KY-GOV) Doesn’t;t expand the map (Kentucky isn’t remotely competitive)

MARK KELLY (AZ-SEN) Looks great on paper but reportedly not a compelling speaker on the stump.

PETE BUTTIGIEG (DOT SEC) Gay (not so much a religious bias; more a risk that he suggests playing identity politics); strong linkage to the Biden Administration (vs allowing Harris to frame her own message.)

Personally, I think Pete presents the best risk/reward option.
