    That’s a good reason to not consider him. I thought he was only being considered bc he was a big name in a swing state.

      Or the thing about his former cabinet secretary’s sexual harassment issue.

      From the Daily Beast:

      A fellow Democrat […] tweeted last week that she wanted a vice presidential pick who “doesn’t sweep sexual harassment under the rug.”

      In his reply:

      The governor’s office highlighted his “long track record of protecting survivors and prosecuting predators” when he was attorney general, including exposing "child sexual abuse and cover-ups within the Catholic Church.”

        I’m really worried that given her announcement event will be in Philadelphia, it’s going to be Shapiro, and that is going to be a massive footgun on her part.
