Kamala Harris considers Tim Walz and Josh Shapiro for VP before choosing Walz

timesnownews.com

Kamala Harris reportedly considered Tim Walz and Josh Shapiro as potential running mates for the 2024 election. Walz, from Minnesota, is seen as a safe choice, while Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, recently won his state by a significant margin. Shapiro's appeal lies in his moderate stance, which could attract voters in key battleground states. However, concerns about his past positions, such as supporting capital punishment, may have influenced the decision against him. Ultimately, Harris chose Walz, but the Democratic turnout in the recent election was lower than expected. This decline in voter interest raised concerns about the effectiveness of the campaign strategy and the coalition built by previous Democratic leaders.
