Kamala’s on the hunt for a running mate – who will get the Swipe Right?

Leave a CommentKamala’s on the hunt for a running mate – who will get the Swipe Right?Commentary

There are some humdinger candidates for veep out there batting their eyelids at Kamala – or more precisely the elites controlling her. Let’s look at a few.

Josh Shapiro is the 48th governor of Pennsylvania since 2023 and a former attorney general and county commissioner. It is THE key swing state for the 2024 election with Trump and Harris desperate t secure those electoral votes. Some of you might know of Scott Pressler “The Persistenece” whose commitment to securing Republican voters in formerly Democrat PA counties has led him to register Amish farmers and felons! Unlike Kamala Josh sounds like a grown-up. A problem for him in the New Democrat party is that he is white, straight and Jewish.

Shapiro ran on pocketbook promises that are largely incomplete, minimum wage, low-tax for PA (wonder how that would translate to the federal government?) green energy using hydrogen technology, and a promise to speak up against sexual harassment. However, in October 2023, his office quietly settled a former employee’s claim she was sexually harassed by a senior aide earlier by agreeing to pay her and her lawyers $295,000.

Then there was this…

Pete Buttigieg is also widely touted. In fact, today he cancelled a long-standing engagement to head to DC. He is youngish, gay, camera-friendly and a little sassy. A former mayor. of South Bend, IN, he has not shone in his Cabinet position of Secretary of State for Transportation. Famously absent during the East Palestine train derailment, he – along with Kamala – is in charge of the $7 billion nationwide EV charging station program which has so far produced around eight outlets. Today, he is touting his achievement of forcing privately owned air operators to ban extra fees to seat families together. Jonah Goldberg has described him as an “NPR tote bag in human form.”

Mark Kelly, 60, is a former astronaut and US Navy captain who has represented Arizona in the US Senate since 2020 following the death of John McCain. He is married to his second wife, Congresswoman Gaby Giffords.

Before becoming a senator, Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., was not only an astronaut, but he also co-founded a company that specializes in spy balloons, which was funded, in part, by a venture capitalist in China with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Kelly, who is reportedly on a short list of running mate contenders under consideration by Vice President Kamala Harris, co-founded Tucson, Arizona-based World View in 2012 with a vision to provide space tourism using stratospheric balloons. FOX

As his daughter has posted about drug use they are concerned that Kelly will be bringing another Hunter Biden into the conversation. Concerns exists that while he runs on “Women’s Rights” issues he once tried to jail his ex-wife over a child custody disagreement and had a restraining order imposed on him.

Timothy James Walz is a former U.S. Army non-commissioned officer, and retired educator who has served since 2019 as the 41st governor of Minnesota. He is famous for putting tampons in boys’ bathrooms and for saying his rural Minnesota constituents are from “the land of rocks and cows.”

Yesterday he said he wants to invest in a “ladder factory” to help illegal immigrants climb Trump’s border wall, and that we won’t have Thanksgiving dinner without illegal immigrant workers.
