Along with about a billion other people, I am very curious who Kamala Harris will pick as her vice presidential running mate. I’m confident that whoever she chooses will be embraced by her growing legions of supporters.
I had been thinking she was going to choose Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania or Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, but now I don’t know.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been killing it on the news shows. He’s approximately the same age as weird JD Vance and is also a military veteran with young children.
Also, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota is really growing on me. He’s another elder GenXer (born in 1964), so I’m predisposed to like him. He gives midwestern high school principal vibes and I think he’d help her out with middle-of-the-road types.
We shall see…
And just for fun while we wait, watch this awesome clip from VEEP.

I am guessing Shapiro as I have heard she is making her announcement in Philadelphia. But we shall see. I will be happy with whomever she chooses. Onward, ho!

Pete’s temperament is amazing.
A few years ago I binge watched Veep. Hilarious and cringeworthy…

Would love it to be Pete, but had an impression it was leaning Bashear until announcement being made in PA.
