Why Josh Shapiro would help Kamala Harris win over the most voters

[Mosby]

[JEWISH GROUP]

“I stand before you, a proud American of Jewish faith,” Josh Shapiro told the crowd at his gubernatorial inauguration in 2023. He had just taken the oath of office over a Torah recovered from the Tree of Life synagogue, where 11 Jews were murdered during Shabbat services by a white nationalist.

Shapiro’s centering of both his Jewish identity and the violent reality of antisemitism was a powerful symbolic victory of life over death, of unity over bigotry and of Jews being able to participate in public service unconditionally.

It is the kind of symbolism that would greatly benefit the Kamala Harris campaign as it competes in must-win Pennsylvania. Yet Shapiro, who beat a Christian nationalist in a landslide in 2022, is facing backlash from pro-Palestinian activists who are picking apart his statements on campus antisemitism and complaining about his support for Israel. In choosing Shapiro, a politician with bipartisan popularity and a stellar record as governor, Harris would ensure her ticket targets real voters, rather than tailoring its messaging to the whims of internet leftists who make the perfect the enemy of the good.

1. Josh knows the value of compromise:

He listens, and is reasonable. He gets things done , even in our divided Pa legislature.
He got many Republican endorsements for governor.
Yes, he does support school vouchers… and is quite level headed about it… if a parent feels their child needs a special school, he supports that.
Please know that because he can work with people, he has gotten more funding for our Pa public schools than ever before. He knows how to work with people and would be a huge asset.

2. My only fear is the media complex and the RW infosphere it supports

Will use the current situation in Palestine to just go nuts after him because they have literally nothing else to talk about “negatively “ on VP Harris.

You can already see the hints of it in the sidelines

3. the RW infosphere supports Israel, it's the only thing

that they get right.

4. Right but Trump is already running about "losing Plaestine support" and making a move for the upper midwest Muslim

and Arab population.

As much as we need PA we also need MI and WI. The RW will turn on a dime and carry whatever water he says.

Don't get me wrong. I would love it to be Shapiro, I just am point out the current incredibly strange political climate surrounding Israel/Palestine and American voting blocs.
