This is the failing of the consultocracy mindset that this VP would bring this nano-demographic in this swing district for that critical state. THAT NEVER WORKS. (cf. Sarah Palin, Al Lieberman, Tim Kaine) What DOES work is choosing a running mate that STRENGTHENS the Pres. candidate's appeal & becomes a great asset! As in Obama > Biden, and Biden > Harris. So who is that person? We all know it's really Pete Buttigieg or Gretchen Whitmer. But in their absence, Tim Walz.
