We Likely Know Who Kamala Harris' VP Pick Is After This Leak

Well, Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is likely to be Kamala Harris’s running mate for the 2024 election. The governor canceled a slew of fundraisers next week, so the Keystone State is now a must-win for both camps.

Win Pennsylvania and win the election appear to be the pithy explainer here. In this state, Donald Trump was cruising to victory over Joe Biden before the latter quit on July 21. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker posted and then quickly deleted a video that appears to announce Shapiro as Kamala’s running mate:

SCOOP: Philly political sources have told me that a staffer connected with Mayor Cherelle Parker's team accidentally posted the video today.

The video was scheduled for Monday...after VP Kamala Harris was expected to announce her pick.

It's Josh Shapiro, y'all.

The pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party isn’t going to like that Shapiro, who is Jewish, is on the ticket. The Pennsylvania Democrat is a staunch supporter of Israel, which is anathema to this unhinged, vocal, and crucial sect of the party base. Yet, winning Pennsylvania trumps all else, and with less than 16 weeks to do so, the Harris camp appears to be catering to most of her party, which is pro-Israel, though they may be reluctant to say so right now. She can’t afford to be held hostage by this warped minority, though, one that could cause her problems in Michigan.

Harris VP pick Tim Walz ‘failed to act’ as BLM rioters burned Minneapolis in 2020, state Senate panel found

Vice President Kamala Harris’ newly minted running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, “failed to act” during May 2020 riots in Minneapolis that burned over 1,000 businesses and a police station to the ground, a scathing state Senate report showed.

The 60-year-old Democratic governor was accused by the Republican-controlled Minnesota Senate’s Joint Transportation and Judiciary and Public Safety Committee of delaying the deployment of the National Guard, failing to coordinate with local police, downplaying the possibility of riots and allowing his adult daughter to access confidential information about law enforcement movements that put first responders at risk during the the four days of rioting that swept through the Twin Cities in the wake of George Floyd’s May 25, 2020, death in police custody.

The state Senate’s scathing postmortem, released in October 2020, determined that Walz “first mobilized the Minnesota National Guard on the afternoon of Thursday, May 28 … 18 hours after” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey first pleaded for assistance and the day after the city’s police chief gave Walz written notice that he needed at least 600 National Guardsmen to quell the riots.

“It was obvious to me that he froze under pressure, under a calamity, as people’s properties were being burned down,” Republican state Sen. Warren Limmer told the New York Times, suggesting that the governor’s “personal sympathies” toward the rioters may have been why he was slow to act.

It is Tim Walz.
