Sen. Mark Kelly and Gov Josh Shapiro are probably the top two in the Harris sweepstakes run for Vice President, a spot she’s in right now…..
Both men can handle the spot….
Vice President Kamala Harris’ vetting team privately met with two top contenders to run alongside the presumptive Democratic nominee on the 2024 ticket, just days before a final decision is to be made on the vice presidential selection.
Harris’ team reportedly met with both Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., Politico reported Thursday, as the vetting process narrows the candidate field.
Asked by Fox News Digital whether Harris’ vetting team also met with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, another candidate being considered for the position, the campaign remained mum.
While several candidates remain in the pool, Harris is expected to announce her running mate as soon as Monday.
The new pair will kick off a four-day, battleground state tour with their first campaign rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Shapiro, one of her leading candidates, hails from just outside of Philadelphia in Montgomery County. ….

I respect many things about Mark Kelly, but I saw an interview with him, and he is a less charismatic Tim Kaine. If Democrats want someone who is going to give good soundbites and be forceful against Vance in a debate, he probably is not their best choice.
If they want someone for Vice President, who was a pre-Trump Republican, then maybe is the guy.

Billionaires in Chicago would never waste their time with Pizza Hut.

I get my pizza from one of two local pizza places…..
Both are sit down
And one can hold almost 100 people
Forget the Fast food pizza
Ghost of SE says
St. Augustine, FL, had the best pizzas I’ve had. Around where I live, hamds down the best game in town is RaceTrac gas station pizza. A culinary dreamscape if ever there was one. Though there’s stray local spots that swing with the big hitters.
Pizza Hut was more a comment on the sheer size and scope of JB Pritzker himself and a way he could rein it in.
