... and Harris could certainly do worse for a VP pick.
He's got blue collar cred (factory work in Arkansas).
He's got military experience (US National Guard artilleryman, topped out as a command sergeant major prior to retirement).
He's got education experience, including teaching for a year in China.
He's got political experience -- former congressman, current second-term governor.
Other than turning against gun rights after long seemingly supporting them, his record seems fairly "moderate."
He seems like a reasonable topper to the various things JD Vance is and/or pretends to be.
He probably helps Harris in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennslyvania specifically, without hurting her nationally.
I predict at least a mild polling bump from the pick, and it's quite possible that the bump won't disappear (or at least won't turn into a lump over time a la Sarah Palin).
