Harris choosing Walz for VP made one thing clear: Neither she nor Trump wants unity

Both parties are bound to see vicious attack ads on their choice for running mate from their rivals, but the choices themselves have already made these a nonfactor. The only people who are truly going to be swayed on such avenues of attack are those who are undecided, a small population that both parties have made clear they have no interest in swaying.

For me, a conservative who is not voting for Trump, there isn’t a VP choice out there that could compel me to vote for Harris. However, moderates would have been attracted to somebody like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who enjoys high approval ratings even in that hotly contested state.

Both sides are simply continuing the trend of increasingly polarized presidential elections.
