    I’m sure the strategy is to secure Pennsylvania (and also not scare anyone away, and not steal a seat away from the Senate like they would with Mark Kelly).

      If Mark Kelly was to become VP the governor of Arizona (a Democrat) would be able to replace him with someone else for the rest of his senate term

        Oh, I didn’t realize that.

        Well he seems like the obvious choice TBH. I’m surprised Harris would go with a Phili governor unless she really, specifically needs an edge in Phili.

          In all fairness, she does really, specifically, need an edge in Pennsylvania if she wants to win.

          AZ senator, former astronaut and navy aviator, husband of Gabby Giffords (a congresswoman who survived an assassination attempt). He is coming up a lot in speculation about Harris’ running mate and was one of the people contacted by her campaign.

      not scare anyone away

      Picking one of the biggest hyper-zionists this side of John Fetterman would be a very poor way to do this.

        What exactly is the bar a vice president needs to meet to be considered not a “nobody” for you? I feel like being a governor of an entire state or a senator is a pretty notable thing, especially if you’re a popular one there
