Someone on Morning Joe said Obama was in favor of Harris picking Walz [View all]

That was a bit of a surprise to me, since Kamala and Shapiro are both OG Obama supporters and he's pretty close with both of them, from what I understand. I expected he would be in Shapiro's corner.

The cynical part of me wonders if maybe Shapiro decided he didn't want to be on the ticket, or had too many demands or limits on what he would do on the campaign trail, because he wants to preserve his brand for 2028.

The other possibility is that Kamala just vibed better with/trusted Walz more and Obama advised her to go with her gut.

Thoughts?
