You’re right, but it’s also not the only non-traditional qualifier though. For many people the fact that the Second Lady would be Gabby Giffords is also a consideration. Between the two of them, they’ve been on a national stage for a long time.
For many people, this Is one of the first times they’re really hearing about Shapiro, and the fact there’s a dipshit on the MAGA side with the same last name, well that just complicates average voter perception. Name recognition and differentiation is massive for the voters that don’t follow politics constantly.
That’s kind of my point though. Gabby Giffords was a US Representative that was thrust into the national spotlight when she survived an assassination attempt in 2013 at a public Town Hall.
Unlike most political spouses, she was actually the politician of the couple before Mark Kelly ran in 2020. He’s actually very new to politics directly.

In fact, I hadn’t even considered the Giffords assassination attempt as a foil against Trump’s use of his own in his campaign advertising.
