    I like Kelly as a VP pick, but I don’t like turning a safe senate seat into a tossup. Beshear is term limited, so his lieutenant governor can finish the term and run as an incumbent.

    I think they’re probably going with Shapiro, though. The old guard will see Pennsylvania turning blue and put their blinders on to everything else.

      If Kelly gets the VP, the democratic governor of Arizona gets to pick his replacement, it’s not a special election or a tossup!

        I believe it would mean a special election in Arizona during the 2026 midterms. That’s a concern.
