LEMIRE To Symone s ░░░░░░░░ this is the first ░░░░░░░░ decision she has to ░░░░░░░░ and she does so ░░░░░░░░ a really accelerated compressed ░░░░░░░░ and only having about ░░░░░░░░ weeks time before the ░░░░░░░░ starts in Chicago Gene ░░░░░░░░ we re talking about ░░░░░░░░ hour there is a ░░░░░░░░ there is a top ░░░░░░░░ here Walz or Shapiro ░░░░░░░░ others have not been ░░░░░░░░ I want to run ░░░░░░░░ by you that a ░░░░░░░░ Democrat said to me ░░░░░░░░ the last couple days ░░░░░░░░ the last couple years ░░░░░░░░ Shapiro s blockbuster win ░░░░░░░░ Pennsylvania and then there ░░░░░░░░ open speculation about whether ░░░░░░░░ not President Biden would ░░░░░░░░ again Shapiro was sor ░░░░░░░░ named as someone like ░░░░░░░░ if the president steps ░░░░░░░░ he could step in ░░░░░░░░ could run he could ░░░░░░░░ take on Vice President ░░░░░░░░ had there been an ░░░░░░░░ primary He is sort ░░░░░░░░ a name that people ░░░░░░░░ he s a rising ░░░░░░░░ Walz is a little ░░░░░░░░ more a late breaker ░░░░░░░░ in this race This ░░░░░░░░ said to me that ░░░░░░░░ worries slightly that if ░░░░░░░░ is not picked suddenly ░░░░░░░░ story would be well ░░░░░░░░ wasn t he That ░░░░░░░░ expose potentially some Democratic ░░░░░░░░ or questions why would ░░░░░░░░ give up a clear ░░░░░░░░ to win Pennsylvania We ░░░░░░░░ all reading tea leaves ░░░░░░░░ now It is not ░░░░░░░░ what the vice president ░░░░░░░░ prioritize and you ve ░░░░░░░░ earlier chemistry is involved ░░░░░░░░ it It is a ░░░░░░░░ pick Robinson It s ░░░░░░░░ complicated pick And I ░░░░░░░░ that Shapiro s name ░░░░░░░░ least is better known ░░░░░░░░ Walz s naturally I ░░░░░░░░ that Shapiro himself is ░░░░░░░░ In other words I ░░░░░░░░ t think a lot ░░░░░░░░ people have watched him ░░░░░░░░ speeches for example or ░░░░░░░░ paid that close attention ░░░░░░░░ outside of Pennsylvania I ░░░░░░░░ t think they ve ░░░░░░░░ that close of attention ░░░░░░░░ just know he is ░░░░░░░░ successful Democratic governor in ░░░░░░░░ swing state who is ░░░░░░░░ popular But I get ░░░░░░░░ point that he s ░░░░░░░░ if it s not ░░░░░░░░ then why is it ░░░░░░░░ Shapiro I think some ░░░░░░░░ will ask that question ░░░░░░░░ I do come back ░░░░░░░░ the chemistry question I ░░░░░░░░ these interviews that she ░░░░░░░░ been conducting that Vice ░░░░░░░░ Harris has been conducting ░░░░░░░░ the possible vice presidential ░░░░░░░░ are really important You ░░░░░░░░ have to have you ░░░░░░░░ to know I think ░░░░░░░░ this is the right ░░░░░░░░ You have to feel ░░░░░░░░ and comfortable that this ░░░░░░░░ the right person And ░░░░░░░░ you re uneasy about ░░░░░░░░ then you know if ░░░░░░░░ makes a little more ░░░░░░░░ sense than the other ░░░░░░░░ you re not comfortable ░░░░░░░░ the one that makes ░░░░░░░░ sense I think you ░░░░░░░░ with the other you ░░░░░░░░ if there is not ░░░░░░░░ huge difference And we ░░░░░░░░ talking about this we ░░░░░░░░ do not know whom ░░░░░░░░ has chosen They have ░░░░░░░░ really really distressingly good ░░░░░░░░ keeping the secret SCARBOROUGH ░░░░░░░░ they really have It ░░░░░░░░ something about her operation ░░░░░░░░ tight it has been ░░░░░░░░ leaks There were again ░░░░░░░░ leaks about a week ░░░░░░░░ that it looked like ░░░░░░░░ was Shapiro but since ░░░░░░░░ since just really I ░░░░░░░░ an unprecedented backlash against ░░░░░░░░ the governor of Pennsylvania ░░░░░░░░ s been very quiet ░░░░░░░░ lot of guessing going ░░░░░░░░
