I’m sure the strategy is to secure Pennsylvania (and also not scare anyone away, and not steal a seat away from the Senate like they would with Mark Kelly).
AZ senator, former astronaut and navy aviator, husband of Gabby Giffords (a congresswoman who survived an assassination attempt). He is coming up a lot in speculation about Harris’ running mate and was one of the people contacted by her campaign.
What exactly is the bar a vice president needs to meet to be considered not a “nobody” for you? I feel like being a governor of an entire state or a senator is a pretty notable thing, especially if you’re a popular one there

If Mark Kelly was to become VP the governor of Arizona (a Democrat) would be able to replace him with someone else for the rest of his senate term
Oh, I didn’t realize that.
Well he seems like the obvious choice TBH. I’m surprised Harris would go with a Phili governor unless she really, specifically needs an edge in Phili.
In all fairness, she does really, specifically, need an edge in Pennsylvania if she wants to win.
who tf is mark kelly

okay has he done anything other than exist and be a spaceman that you can’t get from the embedded wikipedia blurb on google
see, crickets
are you living under a rock
name ONE thing he has done other than just be governor
Picking one of the biggest hyper-zionists this side of John Fetterman would be a very poor way to do this.
that’s a solid answer but is he known for literally anything else
