It might be a massive strategic blunder to not go with Shapiro on the ticket. PA will go a long way to settling the November election.
PA is going Harris regardless, even before the VP pick. The only reason PA was close before to leaning Trump was b/c Biden was viewed as too old for the job.

Walz will certainly play well here. I see PA going to Harris by at least the same margin as 2020.
 
Sorry to the American posters in here for the constant questions (I'm fascinated), I'm guessing this is a big deal as AOC and Manchin are 2 different sides of the Dems? If so then Walz seems a clever pick!
No worries, took me years to begin to understand US politics and not even sure I fully do even now and I live here!

Yep, hard to get two more different people than AOC and Manchin. Manchin left the Dem party earlier this year but still caucuses with them.

Thanks mate.
So, do u think a part of the pick is to show a united front by the dems? Especially in comparison to the right wing media questioning Vance, MGT/the Florida noncy bloke with the big head and little tiny face who's name escapes me?!

Love the description of Matt Gaetz!

Yep so far Harris had a lot of “good vibes” and momentum and so one key aspect of choosing her VP pick (apart from him actually being decent if elected) was that he didn’t rile up one segment or other of a rather large tent.

Kelly’s weakness was with unions for instance otherwise I think she might have gone for him.

Walz hasn’t got many downsides with any of the Dem coalition. We’ll see how many swing voters he can persuade but given people really vote for the President it is debatable how many of those there are left with such well known characters as Trump and Harris.

In addition to this, the number one reason to go with Walz is relatability. He's rural. Can't be viewed as a coastal elite by any stretch. He's a football coach. A teacher. Just kind of your average Joe.

That's going to play very well on the fringes in swing states. It softens the ticket around the edges.

I really like the pick

He’s probably the closest avatar to the “2008 Biden” that Obama picked for his running mate for similar “Average Joe” reasons.

I shall henceforth refer to Matt Gaetz as "the Florida noncy bloke with the big head and little tiny face".

Fits.
