Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a potential running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris, criticized Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance during a recent event in North Philadelphia. Shapiro referred to Vance as 'full of it' and questioned his authenticity, citing Vance's close ties to former President Donald Trump.
Shapiro's comments came as speculation grows about Harris' choice for a running mate. Sources familiar with the matter suggest that Harris could announce her decision before August 7, with private discussions already underway with top contenders.
When asked about his potential role as Harris' running mate, Shapiro remained non-committal, stating his trust in Harris to make the decision in the best interest of the country.
The event took place at the Alan Horwitz 'Sixth Man Center' in North Philadelphia, where Shapiro engaged in a friendly basketball game with local youth players. Despite making only one of three shots on the court, Shapiro's focus remained on discussing the upcoming election and the importance of authenticity in political leadership.
