If Walz is the safe VP choice, what does safe mean exactly?

It means everyone in the Democratic caucus liked him - from the Squad to Joe Manchin. There were no internal downsides to picking him.

Shapiro had some stronger language about university protestors, some more centrist positions on a few issues (like school vouchers) that annoyed the progressive base of the party, and (apparently) there was enough of an internal beef in local PA politics that Fetterman was not on Team Shapiro. With Walz out there - beloved by everyone in the party and not from the East Coast technocrat segment of the party - that was enough.
