This week, Kamala Harris chose her vice presidential running mate.
She could have picked the wildly popular, semi-moderate swing-state governor from Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro. Shapiro has a 62% approval rating in the state, which is ranked by Nate Silver as the most important election bellwether.
Shapiro is charismatic, smart, and bridges the gap between radical Democratic social policy and heterodox moderate views on education and Israel.
Instead, she chose the radical leftist candidate from the non-swing state of Minnesota who presided over the burning down of Minneapolis during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020.
Interesting choice.
Shapiro seemed to be the obvious pick.
But there was one overriding problem with Shapiro in the age of “the Squad”: Josh Shapiro is a Jew.
And there will be no Jewish vice president for Kamala Harris.
All of which…
