[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm. Is Shapiro just pissed off or is Team Harris distancing themselves from him because he’s radioactive due to looming rumored reporting?

Either way, solidifies what a good pick Tim was. [/quote]

Over the immensely accomplished Senator Mark Kelly?  Not seeing it.[/quote]

Mark is great but he’s not a better pick. They are similarly fabulous but Mark would have cost us a senate seat. [/quote]

Can't afford to lose a single senate seat - and by the way I hope Walz will go help Jon Tester out with some rallies, I think Walz will play well in Montana.[/quote]

Why?  If Kelly steps down to become VP, then Democratic governor Katie Hobbs would appoint a person to fill the vacancy until the seat was reelected in 2025.  The filing deadline to file for Senator was April 1, 2024.  So, announcing in July 2024, means that the appointee would serve until the following year general election, e.g. November 2025.  Governor Hobbs' appointee would be seated with the 119th Congress in January 2025.[/quote]

I’m another Mark Kelly fan and even have friends from AZ who were friends with Gabby.  But let’s be real — Arizona does not have a deep bench on moderate Dems so Hobbs would becchallenged in picking someone that could win the seat for real.  If the R had put up someone that was not super crazy and unlikely, Gallegos would be in trouble.  Even with Krazi Lake, that seat is not guaranteed for him (send him $$!).

And I agree with other posters that Kelly is just not the charismatic speaker that Walz is.  Gabby was the natural politician in that family and Mark really only got into it to fulfill her legacy, I think.  He’s doing a great job but the political glad handing and speeches is not his natural state of being.[/quote]
