There’s a major problem brewing for ol’ Kamala. She’s sweating bullets.
Because the Kamala Harris campaign is panicking about this ticking time bomb they have on their hands.
If Kamala Harris wants to win a term in the White House, she almost certainly must win the three states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The path to victory without those three states is so unlikely that it’s next to impossible. Any one of those three states going to Trump is basically game over. So she needs to put all of her eggs in those baskets.
The problem, though, is that Pennsylvania and Michigan are two very different states. Making a play for one could risk the other. There’s been reports that Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro is a top candidate for Kamala Harris’s VP pick, and that would make sense since she absolutely must win the nineteen electoral votes that Pennsylvania brings.
The only problem is that the radical Leftist base that the Democrats have fostered has become so extreme that there are concerns that Josh Shapiro being Jewish could risk Harris losing Michigan. Yeah, that’s how crazy this situation they are in truly is.
Newt Gingrich’s Concerns Over Shapiro as Harris’ Running Mate
In a recent appearance on The Ingraham Angle, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich voiced his opinion on potential challenges facing Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. Gingrich specifically highlighted the implications of selecting Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate.
During the interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Gingrich discussed Harris’ position as the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, following President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek re-election. Gingrich expressed his concern about Harris choosing Shapiro as her vice-presidential candidate, predicting significant backlash due to Shapiro’s Jewish faith.
“They have a big problem,” Gingrich stated. “By the way, this is why in the end Harris will not be able to pick Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania. To walk into that convention with a Jewish governor as her vice presidential candidate would cause such a level of tension in places like Michigan that it would just be a wild scene.”
Gingrich elaborated on what he described as growing anti-Semitic sentiments within the Democratic Party. “The problem is more and more of their party’s anti-Semitic, more and more of their party sides with terrorism. More and more of their party is deeply hostile, not just to Israel, they are deeply hostile to the United States,” he said.
The former House Speaker’s comments came in the wake of a divisive episode involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent visit to the United States. During Netanyahu’s address to Congress, a significant number of Democratic lawmakers were notably absent. Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib protested the speech, displaying a sign that read “War Criminal.”
Gingrich pointed to these events as indicative of a deeper rift within the Democratic Party. “This is an underlying split in their party, which will be interesting to see how they try to write a platform compared to what the Republicans achieved in Milwaukee. How do they bring their radical left-wing and what’s left of the old pro-Israel wing together? I think they’ll have a very hard time.”
Outside of the nation’s capital, pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests erupted, with demonstrators burning an American flag and replacing it with a Palestinian flag. In response, Vice President Harris condemned these actions via social media, specifically denouncing associations with Hamas and the desecration of the American flag.
“I condemn the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way,” Harris wrote. “I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: Antisemitism, hate, and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.”
Despite President Biden winning his party’s primary, he faced significant opposition from over 100,000 Michigan voters who withheld their votes due to his administration’s support of Israel following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.
As Harris considers her running mate options, other names reportedly in the mix include U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, according to ABC News.
Donald Trump’s Genius Messaging On Israel & Gaza
Donald Trump has been brilliant in his handling of his messaging on the conflict between Israel and Hamas. He’s not “taking sides” as many others are trying to do. Instead, he’s sounding like the only adult in the room.
When news hit that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden wouldn’t be attending the speech from Israel’s Prime Minister given to members of Congress, Donald Trump took it upon himself to personally meet with the Prime Minister. Of course, after this news, Kamala Harris said that she would be meeting with Bibi Netanyahu as well.

Donald Trump doesn’t just let Bibi walk all over him either. In fact, Donald Trump doesn’t let any foreign national leader walk over him. He’s openly said that Israel needs to do better about handling their war against Hamas more efficiently, but he’s not going to defend the Hamas terrorists like the insane Leftists have. Americans in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin don’t want to see that.
Meanwhile, the Muslim voters in Michigan are enticed by a Trump administration for 2024 because he’s the only one actually calling for peace in the region without caving to the radical Hamas terrorists.
