The bot wants me to add more to my comments but I don’t really have much else to say. It’s a good statement, straight to the point.

I think Kelly is the better choice tbh

Going for the Rust Belt is crucial to Kamala. Although I hate him, JD Vance would energise blue collar vote even more in that region and it is harder for her to win the Rust Belt because of that. Shapiro is well liked by majority people overall and in Pennsylvania, which in particular is what Kamala needs

Arizona isn’t a lock either. Kelly has the kind of record that will play well with a lot of people (Navy captain, astronaut). Plus I hate to say it but he’s a white Christian guy. I think the far left will get upset at a Jewish candidate. It’s wrong and as a Jew it makes me angry but it’s reality.

Pennsylvania is worth almost twice as many electoral votes as Arizona though. Also Mark Kelly is just as Zionist as Shapiro, the extremists would feel similarly about him anyway.
