Veepstakes hits Pennsylvania with Josh Shapiro a potential candidate: This Week in Pennsylvania

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – It’s been more than 20 years since a Pennsylvania Governor has been strongly considered for the Vice Presidency. Now Governor Josh Shapiro is in the national spotlight as a possibility, if not a front runner, to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate this fall.

Shapiro has repeated talking points this week regarding the Vice Presidency, saying Harris has a “personal” decision to make, one that she’s gone through prior to President Biden selecting her in 2020. On Friday the Governor said he had not personally talked to Harris since last Sunday when Biden dropped out and endorsed her.

In the coming days, Shapiro will begin a stronger public campaign for Harris that includes an event with Michigan Governor Gretchen Witmer on Monday, reportedly in the Philadelphia area.

Should Shapiro be Harris’ pick for the vice presidency, it’ll likely be announced before an August 7 virtual meeting of Democrats ahead of the Democratic National Convention.
