The Left sees Shapiro as further evidence that the Democratic party is moving toward the center and away from progressivism.

Shapiro is the best-available pick for Kamala Harris for the following reasons: Pennsylvania (duh) Youth, post-Trump vintage and post-Covid vintage.

He doesn’t antagonize progressives and might supercharge the populist left.

Julian Zelizer says the Democratic party has been moving to the center since 2016 .

Zelizer: Progressives have to make due with moderate leadership and compromise on policies important to them.

He says the only successful future for Democrats is one in which every part of the coalition is at least a little bit unhappy most of the time.
