I am a pragmatist & I count electoral votes. PA has 9 more than AZ! Not that much, but 2024 is going to be tight. Come November 9 electoral votes could make a hueg difference.

Plus, I appreciate the midterm election risk in 2026 IF ‘Mark Kelly‘ is VP rather than a senator. This midterm consideration is a bummer. Irks me (no end) BUT I get it. We can’t afford to lose even ONE Senate seat. Wow.

I dearly want Kelly as the VP.

But, I understand ….

The only thing that matters is getting ‘Harris‘ elected — though she is, NOT by a long chalk, who I would have preferred! Again, I am being pragmatic.

Mr. Harris is jewish. So, Josh also being jewish isn’t going to make that much of a difference. Kamala will have to stand on her own on this.

So, here, I have said it. I will support a Harris-Shapiro ticket.

SMILE. It sucks being a pragmatist.
