AS KAMALA HARRIS BEGAN WINDING DOWN her search for a running mate, Donald Trump's team knew one thing clearly: It didn't want her to pick Josh Shapiro, the popular governor of swing-state Pennsylvania whose more moderate record made him a formidable opponent. So the Trump campaign and its allies moved to quietly kneecap Shapiro. It did so by forging a de facto alliance with the enemy of its enemy, the progressive left, which opposed Shapiro"the only Jewish candidate on Harris's shortlist"largely because of his pro-Israel stances. The result was a swelling of progressive opposition (some of it organic, some artificially fed) that, among other things, saw Shapiro's online critics dub him "Genocide Josh." "Where we could, we amplified the leftists on Twitter. We fed Shapiro oppo [opposition research] to the media. We did what we could to create more noise and discontent," a Trump adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe internal campaign workings, told The Bulwark prior to Harris making her pick on Tuesday. "We didn't do that with Tim Walz," the adviser said of the progressive blue-state Minnesota governor who ultimately scored the VP nod.

"Trump world" didn't need to do anything to knee-cap Shapiro.
Democrats need the pro-Hamas/Iran voters and Shapiro is a Jew.
End of story.

Bingo Bellringer, they need the key antisemite vote in the key states of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Jews need not apply.

No one gives a crap about her husband (who cheated on his first wife), just like no one cared that Hillary likes women when Bill ran for President.
They do care about who would come into power if something happened to her when it comes to Israeli policy. Just acknowledge your party needs the Hate the Jews vote and move along with your day.

Trump agreed that Harris' husband was a "crappy jew". Trump also had dinner with a literal nazi, fuentes.
