@TheAbbotTrithemius Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. According to Bloomberg he'd be in the final 3 for VP

@Fellixe

JFC that warm caring genuine smile and Kamala’s infectious genuine laughter would be just what people are starved for…

Hmm… there’s a theme there right? Wonder why??

@TheAbbotTrithemius @Fellixe
I was all excited for him. Then I read Mark Kelly’s bio.
But yes, Walz would be fantastic!

@Anouk

I thought the strategy (or I may have assumed ) was to pick a gov from a swing state so the ticket would be assured a win in that state?

@Fellixe

@TheAbbotTrithemius @Anouk He's extremely well liked on labor issues and done of the thinking is he can help bring along Michigan and Wisconsin voters as well as Minnesotans

@TheAbbotTrithemius @Fellixe
Roy Cooper & Josh Shapiro come off (to me!) as less authentic. They’re great, they won! Both are politician-y. Lol

Walz is very in tune with rural America.
Kelly very clued in on border problems.

@TheAbbotTrithemius @Anouk Kelly is also familiar with Senate procedure in a way that eliminates much of the VP learning curve and he had great skill at bringing conservatives along on issues which would be invaluable in moving legislation

@Anouk @TheAbbotTrithemius @Fellixe

Roy Cooper is actually 💯 authentic. He has done as amazing job in our state of NC especially fighting GQP to protect citizens during pandemic. He is NOT intimidated at all to take them on.

Cooper would balance Harris with his steady & reasonable demeanor.

@LnzyHou @Anouk @TheAbbotTrithemius @Fellixe
I am a Cooper fan as well after seeing him in action and holding his own with Repubs here.

@LnzyHou @TheAbbotTrithemius @Fellixe
You know when someone reminds you of someone IRL that you don’t like? Cooper is that. :facepalm:
I think that’s what’s happened. That’s why I stressed it’s *me*.
I’m fine with Cooper or Shapiro.
My Pennsylvania friends want Shapiro, of course.

@Anouk @TheAbbotTrithemius @Fellixe

My PA son says no way Shapiro will accept.

All will be revealed

@TheAbbotTrithemius @Fellixe
It’s never assured, but it can help!
Shapiro is a good pick too.

My preferred picks are Walz, Kelly, and maybe Beshear

@TheAbbotTrithemius @Anouk @Fellixe Tim Walz did an interview with Jen Psaki. Was the first I"d heard of the guy. He seems very genuine and warm. Personable. When he spoke about JD Vance wanting to take away IVF with Project 2025, he became a little angry. I believe his children were conceived through IVF. He said it was none of the government's business.

I'm no authority, but I liked the guy.

@GeezerWench @TheAbbotTrithemius @Fellixe
I love him. He made Stephanie Ruhle laugh on her show “The 11th Hour”.
Can’t remember wording, basically asking if Vance is aware of the internet & it’s cats that have the monopoly on content. 😁

@GeezerWench @TheAbbotTrithemius @Anouk @Fellixe He sounds like he's been picked already. Or like he's letting Harris know his speeches are written and his bags are packed.
