I can see Shapiro running for president. He's presidential where Walz is more Trumanesque. I agree that Josh might not be suited for 2nd fiddle.
"Palace intrigue" might be harsh, but Shapiro exudes ambition; more like Jack Kennedy. I think this speaks well of Harris's understanding of how to govern. She's already looking past the election to how her White House will run.
To her credit, I would've thought Kamala, as VP, would've fallen into the Shapiro mold. Maybe I'm just naturally suspicious of lawyers. But she has been a total team player under Biden, a Truman. She had the confidence and grace not to jockey or stand out when doubts about Biden's campaigning skills came to surface.
This just confirms what I've always suspected: we need to put more women in positions of power -- they handle it better.
