Tom Wolf would definitely help in Pennsylvania (unless be becomes unpopular), in addition to other assets he has (private sector experience, six years governor of a major state). And John Fetterman would fill his job if elected vice president.
PJ, I just don't get this infatuation with Tom Wolf. He gives you none of what a veep pick is supposed to provide. He's old af, so he can't inherit the party leadership once Harris is out of office. He's got no national experience or relationships, so he can't do much to help move legislation through Congress or work the DC regulatory agencies. And even from a strictly campaign perspective, I'm not at all convinced it's a good idea to go all in on Pennsylvania. The last Democratic presidential candidate went all in on Pennsylvania, and look where that got her. Besides, Pennsylvania is decidedly not the future of the party. At best it's going to remain a center-right state, but more likely it's going to drift further and further rightward. Why go with Tom Wolf when there are better options (Michael Bennet!)?
You know nothing about this state. Its like you heard it was included in the rust belt and considered somewhat midwest and automatically assumed its trending right.
