Zelensky visited the factory flanked by Pennsylvania Democrats, including Gov. Josh Shapiro (D). It is common for governors to appear at such events in their state. Johnson and Comer, however, said appearing with a political figure who was briefly a contender to serve as Harris's running mate made the stop political in nature.

I don't know if the political affiliation of the employees matters in this context, but I would guess that people who work in the MIC would be significantly more likely to support Ukraine, MAGA or not.

Either way, I just don't see the political upside to his visit, but I can see a lot of potential downside.

I can also see a world where in the end, it makes no difference at all, guess we'll have to wait to find out either way.
