“According to an October 9, 2024 article in the New York Times by Shane Goldmacher, ‘There may be seven main battlegrounds in the race for the White House in 2024, all of which could prove crucial. But Pennsylvania stands apart as the state that top strategists for both Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump have circled as the likeliest to tip the election.’ In light of this observation, which is hardly novel, the obvious question is: Why, then, wasn’t Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro chosen as Harris’s Vice Presidential candidate? Wouldn’t he do a better job of delivering Pennsylvania to the Democrats? And overall, wasn’t he a much better choice than Tim Waltz? … what if Trump wins the national election and taking Pennsylvania was a key to that victory? What if choosing Governor Shapiro for Vice President would have secured Pennsylvania for Harris?” (10/14/24)
