Beshear, because he’s younger, and he can actually leave his state to campaign nationwide without leaving it in the hands of a crazed lunatic.

+1. I’m from NC. Very gerrymandered. Republicans have both legislative bodies and the Lt. Gov is full on MAGA. Under some weird rule, the Governor steps over the line to SC and the Lt. Governor gets his power. He wanders outside NC and abortion is banned. Not how to win the state. He’d be a great pick. Logistically, it won’t work. Too bad, because I like him.

Kelly's voting record ties him to Biden/Harris disaster. He even voted that perjury is not an impeachable offense.

Any others? Cooper?

How about one of the two GA senators? Probably not Warnock this time around, so the other guy? Is he ready?

I feel more anxious than excited. The pick is going to make it break this election . Praying that they don't screw it up.

“The pick is going to make or break this election.” Bless your heart. Although if the VP pick is the designated scapegoat, who would say yes?

JD Vance.

Before Aug 7 her team is saying.

Well yeah— that’s the Ohio ballot deadline.

That would be Mark Kelly. Navy test pilot, combat pilot who flew assault missions over Iraq during Desert Storm, Astronaut who flew several missions into outer space. No other candidate can meet that level of badass.

I don't think it's necessary to be a badass. I think it's more important to be able to distill complex topics into simple catchphrases that people can understand. Pete is good at that, but no earthly way is there going to be a WOC/Gay dude ticket that can win anything (it will frankly be a worse choice than JD). Shapiro is out. That leaves Kelly, Collins, Walz. My money is on Walz; there is something very relatable about him.

That name was T-V ticket's worst fear. They can now sigh of relief.

Asked and answered. He leave the state to campaign, NC loses the right to abortion. That’s a problem for NC and a problem for Harris to be responsible for it happening.

White male with at least some military experience

Kaine by Clinton in '16 should have helped if Clinton had more support in first place

help where? In Virginia? maybe have someone that will help you carry a swing state.

No. Andy Beshear, a man who can win a deep red state and can carry a lot of weight in the mid-west is still a huge danger to the T-V ticket. He is a Democratic governor in one of the reddest states of the nation, a state that repeatedly sent Mitch McConnell to the Capitol, and in his second term, he still holds a near 70% popularity rating. And he won an easy reelection in that deep red state. He knows very well, how to talk to moderates and conservatives so that they understand him and support him in what he is doing. He has a liberal agenda, but still makes those across the aisle agree with him. He will be great on the campaign trail. He is nowhere near as controversial as Shapiro. While I like Shapiro, he speaks to the liberals and would not be great at tipping the 9% undecided and the moderates back to the Democratic ticket. Beshear would be much better at that.

Plus— and I love Tim Kaine and think he is great in VA and will 100% vote for him in November— Kaine didn’t connect. He didn’t have the necessary charisma. And all I remember from his debate with Pence was the eyebrows. VA likes its solid boring politicians who deliver business friendly, but moderately liberal social stuff. Kaine and Warner do that. They tour the state and deliver moderate things that make life better. They aren’t superstars and don’t grandstand. They work hard and get sh*t done. And that’s just fine with me. But neither is a rock star.

Kaine didn’t hurt HRC. But, he also didn’t help. Too unassuming.

Yes, love him as my senator, but he was boring on a national stage. He also couldn't broaden his experience to a national vision. Everything he talked about was Virginia.

It is unfortunate he'd be a good pick but it's more important he stays in NC
