      she needs a popular straight white cis-gendered outwardly protestant christian guy to win; like obama did.

        Seems kind of insulting to hold the announcement in the state of one of the contenders and not choose them. I suppose it could signal that even though she didn’t choose Shapiro it doesn’t mean they don’t prioritize PA. Feels like a stretch though.

        A more mundane reason for the location (if it’s not Shapiro) is that this is going so fast they don’t have the ability to change Harris’s plans for a symbolic reveal. It’s entirely likely these things were already in motion before a decision was even made. They just don’t have the time to change which state they start their tour in.
