Great point, John. I wonder if Walz fills Harris’ gap to the upper Midwest as she is a coastal elite. Thoughts?

Thanks for your comment, Frank.

I think that is her aim. Jonathan Alter in a short piece in the NYT makes this point with the argument that Walz, unlike, say, Shapiro, will cut into Trump's margin among non-college white voters in key states. Frankly I am not persuaded, but it probably is the best case for the selection.
