Kelly over Shapiro for me, but I'd prefer AOC for the lulz and the win.

The Harris campaign has requested vetting materials from the following potential vice presidential nominee picks:

NC Gov. Roy Cooper

PA Gov. Josh Shapiro

AZ Sen. Mark Kelly

MI Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

MN Gov. Tim Walz

Whitmer has said she ain't leaving Michigan, but that pairing would be a game-changer.

I think you could consider that her first answer,not her final one.

She could do 4 terms, too.
Outside of Michigan. Decisions, decisions.

Out of this list Shapiro might be the strategic pick, but Walz is who I think I'd most like to see as VP.

Hadn't seen Walz floated yet, he would be a superb VP. He was a teacher before he went into politics and is a very effective communicator.

I'd be sad to lose him here, but happy that the rest of the country gets to have him as well.
