Right now, Kamala Harris is weighing VP candidates. Shapiro is far and away the best of the potential VPs. He’s the clear favorite:
He’s competent, pragmatic, moderate, mature, intelligent, a bridge builder and has worked well with both Republicans and Democrats. In short, he’s everything that Kamala Harris isn’t.
Shapiro should be leading the ticket. He won’t, the Dems aren’t that smart and they’re too wedded to identity politics, even given the fact that Harris is the most ridiculous choice either party has put up in my lifetime (yes, worse than Dukakis). Lucky for Harris that she’s running against a rapidly-imploding Trump who made a terrible VP choice.
Good article on Shapiro:

He’s an interesting profile. I would probably vote for him if he were at the top of the ticket right now.
That said, he presents a challenge for Kamala because he’s very pro Israel.

I don’t quite understand when or why the Democratic party abandoned Israel in particular and Jewish people in general. Israel is way down the list of voter concerns, even thought it makes for interesting nightly news…and Harris is missing a great opportunity to condemn Hamas / Palestine supporters who burn American flags and shout “Death to America”…while in America.
Shapiro should be a no-brainer. Not sure what’s taking so long.
The other no-brainer…on the other side…is that Trump should, really must debate Harris. The BBC, early in July referred to Harris as “deeply weird” and the Dems started applying it to Trump…and it’s going to stick, until the voters are reminded of just how deeply weird Harris is. She’s not interviewing with any media except the softball pitchers, and she’s happy to insult him at a distance. She must just marvel at her good luck that Trump is ducking her.

There’s an assumption that Jewish voters will still vote Democratic regardless. I just saw a Kamala commercial talking about making it so that families can thrive on one income. Hey, that’s JD Vance’s thing. Oh, and it ignores the inflation her policies would bring. But with the media in her pocket, she can put out ads saying she’s strong on the border and believes in merit based hiring without fact checking or consequence.

Interesting you should point that out, I was just thinking about the same thing. Peggy Noonan wrote on her pros and cons this morning. Main concern is whether or not Harris is serious, a serious politician. Is she serious about the issues? Personally, I don’t think she is. I think she’s basically Dan Quayle.
The Fight of Trump’s Political Life – WSJ
Noonan says, basically, that Harris can’t do interviews and she can’t ad lib, but she can act the heck out of a scripted speech. So the formula is…no interviews. Will the voting public let her get away with it?
If Trump was smart, he’d double down on the interviews and shoot for three of them. And get JDV to “remove himself” from the ticket and replace him with Nikki Haley. It’s the only way Trump wins now.
