30. While it's true she needs the state - I don't understand why she can't win the state with Shapiro campaigning for her.

Why is his nomination to VP the reason people from PA will vote for her? Are they going to sit home if he's not the VP? If they like him so much why wouldn't him campaigning for her in PA excite people and get them to the polls?

It's weird to me - like I'm sitting at home saying "well if my Gov who I like is her pick I'll vote. Otherwise the hell with it".

Are voters in PA ONLY interested in voting for Harris if Shapiro is the pick? What about the other states? Or should we just have a VP from every swing state and maybe they can each be her VP for 6 months or a year.

Her support probably has a lot to do with her support of House members and Walz was one. He seems to have a Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #21

No. Harris should already win Minn. Shapiro or Kelly should be the pick oldsoftie Aug 2024 #22

VP's delievering states is a very old view of politics now. I think Walz speaks to the working class DFab420 Aug 2024 #23

It may be an old view but PA is a battleground state. She needs those 19 votes. oldsoftie Aug 2024 #25
