Harris would have found it easier to win Pennsylvania with Josh Shapiro rather than Walz, according to a top political scientist.
Kamala Harris's decision to pick Tim Walz as her 2024 running mate will make it 'a lot more challenging' for her to win the key swing state of Pennsylvania, as opposed to if she had chosen its governor, Josh Shapiro, according to a prominent political scientist.Harris announced her choice of Walz as her running mate on Tuesday via a post on X. The pair held their first rally together in Philadelphia later that evening.
After all, she could have made the more politically expedient choice by picking Shapiro, simply to win his home state and perhaps help win the election,' Devine, the author of Do Running Mates Matter?: The Influence of Vice Presidential Candidates in Presidential Elections, said.'But he is a first-term governor who has never served in federal office and lacks foreign policy experience. Walz is a two-term governor who served for more than a decade in Congress.
