He'll be at the rally tonight
Over the next 90 days, I look forward to traveling all across the Commonwealth to unite Pennsylvanians behind my friends Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and defeat Donald Trump.
See you tonight in Philly.

(2,951 posts)I think Walz wont seek higher office and giving Shapiro time to deepen his resume of success in PA was a good choice for the party all around.

Is Tim Walz running for president? No, but hes up to something with this national politicking.

(246 posts)... because more and more Repugnant politicians are looking to BREAK OUR LAWS to illicitly gain more power. We need former PROSECUTORS elected into higher places to help deter/corner/corral such Repuke criminals-in-waiting. I'm sure Shapiro will be considered for a future presidential ticket, when Kamala has to stand down for the 2032 election! Until then, maybe she should grab him for Attorney General ... I'm pretty much DONE with Merrick G at this point.

(6,670 posts)Or is this just a convenient way to take cheap shots at Garland?

I think Shapiro should stay in Pennsylvania (he was my fave for VP, but not sure he really needs to be on the cabinet). He is really a great democrat - he had humble parents, graduated college with honors & JD from Georgetown at night. Really a hard worker. I love that he is pro-Israel, and I don't care what other people think about that.

(246 posts)... he was much too slow to ignite the Special Counsel for the very serious J6 and Stolen Docs crimes by the DonVict. Consequently, with no trials now possible before Election Day, there still persists the possibility that the deranged felon might win the presidency again. And thereby trigger these cases to be canceled.
To me and most Americans, not appointing a SC for J6 by the end of 2Q 2021 was a severe dereliction of basic duty from new AG Garland. Hes a good man, well credentialed, and all that. But his public demeanor is not confidence inspiring for a high officer of the presidential Administration, and appearing to be MIA for well over a year regarding J6 was inexcusable.

(448 posts)Our primary in 8 years will be Shapiro vs Newsom. Both will make great Presidents after 8 years of Kamala.
FBaggins
(28,707 posts)Or perhaps gets a senate seat if one of them gets one.
He will have been out of office for six years by that point otherwise. Not much of a platform to run from.

(12,402 posts)Thank you Governor! I know we all look forward to seeing more of Shapiro going forward. He is a strong Democrat and great advocate for the Democratic Party.

Trump could never deliver a classy statement like that!
