Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, is a leading contender to be named Kamala Harris’s running mate in the US presidential election, with a decision expected in the next few days.
A congressional aide turned state representative and state attorney general, the 51-year-old father of four was elected governor in 2022. Close to two years later, he maintains historically high approval ratings, including notable support from Republicans, his numbers outstripping such ratings both for Harris and for the GOP ticket of Donald Trump and JD Vance.
