I liked JVL's framing of the pick as what it said about Harris. Maybe she learned an obvious lesson from the 2016 election. Clinton lost because she could not hold on to all of her base. Too many progressives stayed home or voted third party. Shapiro posed a risk, however small, of a repeat and Waltz did not. Is that "caving to the left"…

Is that "caving to the left" or sound judgment on the best path to beating Trump, where she will need every Democratic vote?
