Governors Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan led a rally at Wissahickon High School in Montgomery County, emphasizing Harris&#8217;s legal background and social policies as key aspects of her presidential candidacy. &#8220;As district attorney, she put criminals behind bars,&#8221; Whitmer remarked. &#8220;Perhaps that&#8217;s why Donald Trump is so intimidated by her.&#8221; She further stated that &#8220;Kamala Harris has more experience than the Trump-Vance ticket combined.&#8221; Shapiro described Harris as being &#8220;for the people&#8221; and commended her for advocating tirelessly for families, asserting that &#8220;Vice President Harris has been battle-tested.&#8221; This event took place just nine days after President Joe Biden exited the race and endorsed Harris to succeed him. Since then, party delegates nationwide have pledged their support for the vice president at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in August. \u201cLet\u2019s wake up in November and say \u2018madame president,\u2019\u201d Whitmer declared on Monday. Shapiro, who is seen as a leading candidate to be Harris&#8217;s running mate, endorsed her shortly after Biden&#8217;s withdrawal but has since avoided questions about campaign vetting processes, focusing instead on helping secure a Democratic victory in Pennsylvania this November. Although there were early speculations about her candidacy, Whitmer clarified that she is not being considered for any role. Analysts suggest that a Democratic win in Pennsylvania would benefit Harris\u2019s presidential aspirations; however, it could complicate her campaign efforts in Midwestern swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin due to Shapiro\u2019s firm stance on Israel potentially alienating some voters. During his address on Monday, Shapiro labeled Trump as \u201cdangerous,\u201d \u201cdestructive,\u201d and \u201cafraid to debate\u201d with Harris while linking him to Project 2025\u2014a conservative policy initiative created by The Heritage Foundation\u2014despite Trump&#8217;s claims that his platform does not include it. Democrats argue that this agenda revolves around Trump regardless of his intentions and promotes extreme right-wing policies concerning abortion rights, public education funding, and immigration issues at the border. A recent poll indicated that Trump currently leads over Harris in Pennsylvania; however, she has significantly reduced Trump&#8217;s advantage over Biden according to the same survey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3330,"featured_media":2315909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vance-harris-battle-over-whos-weirder.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4021,5836,5894,5013,12025],"class_list":["post-2315908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-harris","tag-pennsylvania","tag-politics","tag-shapiro","tag-whitmer"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vance-harris-battle-over-whos-weirder.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2315908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3330"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2315908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2315908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2315908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2315908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2315908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
