If Harris went with Shapiro, the narrative would've been: "Harris only picked Shapiro because she wants to win Pennsylvania. Harris only cares about Pennsylvania/winning the election." I'm glad Harris went with a likeable guy that speaks well and with no baggage. Keeping the theme of good vibes, positivity, and hope going. This is why Harris resonates with most Americans while Trump/Vance turns them off. MAGA is the party of hate. The angry incel MAGAs can continue to blame others for their own shortcomings in life/lack of willingness to adapt- and wallow in their own negativity
