2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

Thank goodness it wasn't Shapiro. The baggage was just too much, fair or unfair.

I preferred Beshear but Walz is a good pick. The only problem is that he looks like he could be Kamala's dad but that might also help? LOL.

Anyway, he passed some solid policies in Minnesota. Harris/Walz 2024, let's go!

Walz looking like the tough and sane Grandpa from the Midwest will help with white Midwest voters, and people in rural areas.

At this point you need to say fcck the progressives. The purity tests that they do is grade A dog shyt.

Same scenario with the people who really believe "no reparations, no vote"

There will never be a perfect candidate, but you need to vote for one who's close to your needs.

They wanted Walz breh

But that's a good thing tho, one of the reasons Reagan got two terms was because he reminded Americans (mostly why Americans) at that time of their fathers.

Well, Reagan did have a full head of black hair, lol.

Man Walz was the right pick. He is a gun owner that donated contributions from the NRA after the Vegas shooting. If that doesn't demonstrate crossover appeal I don't know what does

 

[Frump]

Walz is gonna dog walk Vance in the debate

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

Walz is gonna dog walk Vance in the debate

Are they actually going to debate is the question

 

[jay211]

Smart statement by Shapiro. He's probably disappointed but knows in 2028, he may get his chance at the big seat, depending how Kamala does.

Yeah trying to paint him as a controversial progressive in the same vein as say the squad isn’t gonna work

 

[Pure Water]

Yes.

He's a good communicator.

You not being serious. This is HL, not the LR.

Never said otherwise. Still looks old for his age but White people do generally age worse, lol.

While I like this pick I wouldn’t make picks based off of social media which only a small percentage of the populations uses

Trump uses right wing talking points from Twitter all the time and most people have no idea wtf he’s taking but

Most people arent terminally online

I don't think she should have made her pick based on social media. Just saying, keeping the positive news cycle rolling and avoiding all the negative backlash that was coming if it was Shapiro is nice.

Walz is getting universally praised by every side of the spectrum.

[TheDarceKnight]

Walz was who I wanted, but thought she wouldn't pick him. I'm happily surprised.

 

[Worthless Loser]

This statement is bullshyt. If you saying your work isn't done and it's alot more you want to accomplish in PA, you would have never tried to become the VP pick and ditch the state.

Politicans shamelessly lie.

Wholesome Beshear statement was much better.

Agreed

I think they just didn’t want to deal with the headache of the Shapiro allegations which I agree with fair or not
