Vice President Kamala Harris’ final decision for running mate came down to choosing between two Democratic governors: Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, a blue state that Harris is expected to win anyway, and Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state where President Donald Trump currently leads with 19 electoral votes.

Harris ultimately chose Walz, who apparently falsified details of his military service, faced allegations of “honor theft,” allowed BLM rioters to ravage Minneapolis, and turned the state into a hotbed of child sex-change operations.

CNN host Jim Acosta told Jones, [Harris] “We did not elect Shapiro to shut down Pennsylvania.”
“Conservatives, right wingers, Republicans, they’re so scared of Josh Shapiro and Mark Kelly that they bite off the knuckles of their fingernails. They’re not so scared of this new governor because they think they can define him,” Jones responded.
“That’s the challenge this party has, but people don’t want to talk about it. We have to talk about it,” Jones continued. “On the one hand, we have a lot of young people who are worried about Gaza. We have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and so on. They feel ignored by the Biden administration. We started hearing the words ‘Genocide Joe.’ It was growing.”
“Anti-Semitism is also pervasive in this party.”
“People needed a candidate they could feel comfortable with,” Jones said.

Website “Selecting a vice presidential candidate with anti-Palestinian, pro-war views will reduce turnout among Muslim, Arab American and young voters and greatly reduce the excitement that would come from having a new candidate,” the vice presidential candidate from the Josh Against Genocide campaign said.
“It is in Harris’ and the Democratic Party’s best interest to listen to their base and ensure that their new VP candidate and her policies support the majority of Democrats and Americans who want social and economic justice for workers and an immediate ceasefire in Palestine,” the anti-Shapiro site added.

“Anti-Semitism is also ingrained in the party,” Jones said. “You can support Palestinians without having anti-Semitic prejudice, but there are people who do.”
“And we need to have a conversation about the extent to which what has just happened exposes a darker side in the party, so that needs to be addressed. It needs to be discussed thoroughly,” he added.

In May, comedian Bill Maher noted that while there may be anti-Semitism on both sides of the political aisle, “it’s even worse on the left.”
Michael Rapaport, one of President Trump’s harshest critics in recent years, suggested earlier this year that he was considering voting Republican primarily because of growing hostility on the left toward Israel and the Jewish people.
