(CW: Rep. Gabby Giffords (D AZ) with a head wound in a hospital bed) Dang, they've already chosen Mark Kelly as Harris' VP. The astroturfing is in full swing! (hexbear.net)

He's the perfect pick. Grown in a lab just for this moment:

White, handsome, accomplished astronaut, unknown politics, and he defuses the Trump assassination attempt narrative.

It's the third time I've seen something about Kelly on social media in the last day. Which is weird, since I didn't know he existed until today.

Oh, I should have checked the betting odds sites, could have saved myself a lot of typing.

Roy Cooper has the lead there, which makes sense, southern Dem fo court the southern Dems, same age as Biden was in 2008, term-limited as governor.

Josh Shapiro...maybe? He hasn't been in office that long, he's not term limited, he's younger than Kamala, they'd be throwing a pretty big curveball from the previous playbook. Not that I'd rule it out, Kamala's not as young as Barack was in 2008, so they don't necessarily need to rob the grave to balance out the ticket. Honestly, I fucking hope it's not him, because "Israel not only has a right, they have a responsibility to rid the region of Hamas and the terror that Hamas can perpetrate". Fuck.

Edit: And he's from Pennsylvania so they'd presumably get a much needed bump there. Fuck.
