Kelly looks good but has little actual experience in government. And she probably doesn’t want to gamble with losing a Senate seat. So I think he’s out.
Shapiro has lots of state government experience, it’s not federal but probably still decent for him knowing how to get things done. Also swing state and broader mid west appeal. I think he’s in.
Shapiro was my bet. Something about his face makes me love the Kelly brothers…idk what it is they just feel like good people. I wanted him to get the nod but I think Shapiro simply checks too many boxes.
And I doubt she wants to gamble with losing a Senate seat.
With a Dem governor to appoint a replacement, and a state that’s looking more blue than Wisconsin or Michigan or Virginia, its honestly not as big a gamble as you’d think.
I’ve been looking at this.

Replacement lasts until 2026, whereas Kelly would last until 2028. That’s Harris’s mid term election. Losing the Senate can gridlock everything.
We lost the Senate when we elected Sinema and Manchin.
