Kamala Harris' Potential Running Mate Draws Ire From Far-Left Activists

Anti-Israel activists are urging Kamala Harris not to choose Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate due to his support for Israel, sparking a divide within the party.

Journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon has highlighted the growing opposition within the far-left wing of the Democratic Party to Kamala Harris' potential running mate, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro. Anti-Israel activists have launched a campaign to pressure Harris against selecting Shapiro due to his support for Israel, alleging that he is "pro-apartheid" and has ties to the Israeli government.

This development comes amidst a broader debate within the Democratic Party regarding its stance on Israel, with some progressive members advocating for a more critical approach to the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians. The concerns raised by anti-Israel activists about Shapiro's record on Israel have reignited this internal divide.

Allan Lichtman, an acclaimed election forecaster who has correctly predicted the outcome of nearly every presidential race since 1984, has recently presented his "Keys to the White House," a formula he uses to predict election winners. Currently, Harris holds six of the 13 keys, while Trump holds three. Four keys remain unanswered.

If Democrats lose three more keys, they would be projected as the "losers" in the upcoming election, according to Lichtman's formula. However, Lichtman believes "a lot would have to go wrong for Harris to lose."

The Democratic Party is set to choose its nominee at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August, after which Lichtman will make his final prediction. The current political climate and the potential impact of Shapiro's candidacy on the race remain key factors to watch as the election approaches.

Some analysts suggest that Harris may face challenges in balancing the demands of the far-left and the need to appeal to a broader range of voters. The party's stance on Israel and the selection of her running mate could significantly influence the outcome of the election.

Lichtman's formula has proven accurate in predicting previous elections, and his insights into the 2024 race will be closely observed. The final prediction will provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of both Harris and Trump and could potentially sway public opinion.

As the race heats up, the internal dynamics within the Democratic Party and the potential impact of Shapiro's candidacy will continue to shape the political landscape. Harris' decision on her running mate and the party's overall strategy will have profound implications for the outcome of the election.
