VP list narrows rapidly

Politics at the presidential level can be ruthless, brutal and unforgiving.

Kamala Harris is in the midst of a search for someone who will agree to run with her as vice presidential nominee in this year’s race for the White House. The vice president reportedly favored Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, given his standing as a champion for gun reform and his staunch views on border security and immigration overhaul.

Suddenly, though, other factors seem to have nudged Kelly off the top of the VP ladder. The new favorite appears to be Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

The overarching issue might have everything to do with whether Arizona can elect a Democrat to replace Kelly in the Senate, where Democrats hold a narrow edge over Republicans.

As for Shapiro, he’s a first-term governor in a state that is now tilting toward Harris in her fight against Donald Trump.

I do know this: The Democrats have a much deeper bench from which to make this choice than the Republicans. To that end, it is good that Vice President Harris is taking as much of the limited time she has available to her in making this most critical decision.

  1. What is keeping Kelly from the choice is his relationship with China and spy balloons! What is the deal with democrats and China?

  2. In a perfectly delivered line, VP Harris brought down the house as she punched Donald is his fat gut-

    “ If you have something to say, say it to my face.”

    Trump is now a punching bag who offers plenty of material for the feisty VP.

  3. “I’ve known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much, and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she Black?” Donald ( I’m not racist ) Trump

    Mind blowing stuff.
